Re: Rapidly mounting costs of owning a PCX!

Many lessons learned for me over the past week, but hopefully coming out of it a little less naive I guess. Dealership has offered me an excellent trade-in offer on the PCX "as is" so with the extra I need to put in to get a brand new PCX vs the repair costs, it is worth the extra for me t...

Re: Rapidly mounting costs of owning a PCX!

Quick update - now been told that Honda (who received photo's of cracked casing) have apparently offered to provide parts for free .... and SC has now quoted me £700 to fit part and complete the service as originally taken there for. After picking myself up off the floor I enquired about the cost of...

I'll take it!

Re: Rapidly mounting costs of owning a PCX!

Still waiting updates as weekend staff not in at SC this morning. Downloaded exploded parts view PDF this morning and will definitely be looking for a service manual for the future. Found a few in the US so far and quite happy to get from there ... any UK comments about local sources for a service m...

Re: Rapidly mounting costs of owning a PCX!

Thanks to all for advice etc - clearly been had for past few years. Got just about every tool in existence in sheds, grew up with a father who had me helping him strip motor car engines right down to big end bearings etc ... but for some entirely unfathomable reason, with the PCX being my first moto...

Bought my PCX 125 just under three years ago and have commuted in and out of Central London (35 miles per day) and been a HUGE fan of the nippy, light, cheap commuter. However ... Having now looked back on all service receipts and seeing 3 x services per year, 3 x pu...
