Re: New Member Rollin' In

They were on my Christmas list last year :lol: But we haven't installed them yet :oops: I suspect you need to move the break levers over just slightly to make it work. Now that it is getting colder and I have good photo references I think we'll make it a priority to get them on.

Re: Greetings From Seattle.

Our 2011 PCX125 came from Lake City as well, and I agree that the owner and his wife are pretty nice. I didn't feel that we got a very good deal there however, so I was wondering if there might be another good option in the area. We aren't planning to buy another scooter anytime soon, but we do thin...

Re: New Member Rollin' In

Maddie, I believe those handguards have been discontinued, but you may still be able to find them online. Here is a pair on Amazon, but the color is probably not to your liking: http://www.amazon.com/Polisport-Free-Flow-Handguards-Orange/dp/B005SZ57FA/ref=sr_1_11_m?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1...

Re: Greetings From Seattle.

Welcome JP! I'm thrilled to see another member from the Seattle area. Which Dealer did you purchase it from, and would you recommend that dealer? If you haven't done so already, you may want to consider a bigger windscreen. It makes riding in cooler weather much more enjoyable. Cheers! -Rainburg

Re: PCX Valve Adjustment

We are just putting our PCX back together after doing our first valve check at about 1200+ miles. It was out of spec on the intake at .006 and the exhaust was good at .009 so we only had to tighten the intake. I'm glad that we finally checked as I wouldn't want to be running it much out of spec, but...

Re: How to replace panels on PCX 125

Those looks exactly the same, so we should have most in not all of the tools we need. Thank you C-Note! We're finally going to tackle the valves this weekend I think. Easier to give the PCX up for a bit now that cool rainy weather has returned.

Re: How to replace panels on PCX 125

Congratulations C-Note! What trim removal tools did you use? We bought a set at Harbor Freight, but haven't used them yet so I don't know if they were a good choice among the several options. Do you have a link or photo?

Honda ITS

I don't know if Honda will ever really implement this, but I like that they are including motorcycles in their demonstrations of an intelligent transportation system: http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/10/hondav2x.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+greencarcong...

Re: How to: Valve Adjustment for Honda PCX

A quick question for the mechanically inclined. Do you know why the instructions ask you to disconnect the fuel line? Is it really necessary, or is it just a precaution for liability reasons?

Thanks for any insight or advice!

Re: Finally Tried the Burgman

The Silverwing looks fabulous for riding two up. I thought we'd do some rides together on the Burgman, but we never have. Now that I have my endorsement and ride a scooter, I'm really not interested in being a passenger. I haven't asked my husband, but I don't think he'd want to ride pillion either ...

Finally Tried the Burgman

Well, after almost 6 years of ownership I finally rode our Burgman 400 this past weekend. I always intended to ride it, but felt a bit intimidated by the monster. After riding the PCX for a year now, I was finally more than ready to give it a try. Same basic controls; how tough can it be? We just ro...

Re: If I won the lottery...

I find the cruisers are the most likely to wave. The sport bikes, rarely. Other scooter riders....maybe not at all. Interestingly enough, my husband gets more waves when riding the PCX than when riding the Burgman. I have also found that the PCX is a babe magnet....and by that I mean children. Often...

Re: Took a spill yesterday...

So sorry to hear that you had a fall :cry: , but very good news that you are fine and the scooter is in decent shape too! Did you go down because you were braking when you reached the railroad tracks? Or did you meet the railroad tracks at a bad angle? Just trying to add to my limited knowledge base...

Tire levers are on our list of tools to buy too. I see that Draper isn't easily available in the US, but let us know how installation goes. Will you do the balancing too?

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

Heythorp, Have you tried looking at Cycle Trader? I'm not sure how good it is, but when I've searched for a PCX with our zip code it has listed the dealers who have them in their showrooms. It is also for private party transactions. Might be worth a look in addition to Craigslist since they are more...

Re: PCX Insurance in USA

We have Progressive too, just on our scooters. We pay $80/year for the PCX and $85 for the Burgman with a $500 deductible for collision and comprehensive. It also includes Roadside Assistance so that we can get a tow if we ever have an issue. I don't expect to ever need it, but we have it for peace ...
