Tomtom,
Thanks for clarifying. Then it is really a generic picture on the site indeed.

Re: Front suspension upgrade

I got the new model of PCX V4 (2018) and the fork seems to be more harsh, i feel more the impacts than with my previous V3. I noticed than the travel is slightly inferior on the new (93mm vs 100mm) I plan to modify my fork to have better performance, i found a complete kit for the 2018 model on a T...

Can you upload picture of scratch
I'm pretty sure it does not work on matte surfaces. Well, it works in a way - the part done by T-cut will be shiny and not matte anymore. Potentially not a sought after result.

Re: Front suspension upgrade

Scott, don't give up. Harder springs especially on this short suspension travel very often more comfortable than weaker ones. Weak springs are difficult to set the sag properly, and also blow through their stroke quickly and bottom out. this is the worst. A harder spring with firm action feels much ...

I think that cold be the only option. I'd ask your honda dealer about touch-up paint to have the same color code.

Re: Front suspension upgrade

Right- i was quoted by YSS Europe € 90,75 + shipping for a set of springs for rear shocks. I wanted 46-12-22-200 springs but they only have 10-15. It's almost the price of a new set of shocks! If you make some, maybe we can organise a group buy? Good idea, I'm sure it can be done. Will organise onc...

Ciao Manuel,
Benvenuto nei forum PCX.
By opaque black, you mean matte black? If so, no good news. That color cannot be polished.

Re: Front suspension upgrade

Constant spring rates is what Race tech (inventors of emulators) are recommending once you install the valves. However that is for motorbikes with proper forks, can get away with it in a scooter with short forks and limited travel? I doubt it... Where can we find made to measure springs in Europe f...

Re: Front suspension upgrade

Thanks for the pictures. It seems to get interesting. The spring on the pictures is significantly stronger than the original, and also has the crossover point at a different location.

Re: PCX150 2014 - Lurches, Sputters, and Dies

Welcome to the forums As said above: 1, most probably a clutch bearing issue - check by rolling the rear wheel by hand while the bike is on the centre stand. You'll hear and feel it if it's faulty. Then use search function on the site how to address that. 2, Can be a side stand switch, but I can als...

Analysis of spring options

While our bikes have simple suspension and relatively short suspension travel, we don't have to suffer. Installing emulators, and later a stronger aftermarket spring helped a lot, but I'm still not satisfied. Sportbikes traditionally also have short suspension travel (despite their higher than PCX w...

Front suspension setup

Scott, Good direction. If you'll get the yss fork springs in hand, please measure spring wire diameter, total length - and in case it is dual wound spring as the stock, the number of coils and length of the separately wound sections. A picture could help too. Based on that info, I can calculate spri...

Re: Uber on Scooter

This business exists all over Asia.
Where people only use a small jet helmet as protection on scooters it is not a big issue to have a cap at hand.
A it oversized scoot, but I've also seen Gold wings doing motorcycle taxi services in Paris, France.
