Re: Motorcycle Helmets

Only since it's gotten cooler. Most of the time I use a tinted visor.

I'll eventually buy the smoked pinlock to replace the full visor.

Re: Motorcycle Helmets

Just wanted to say... How bloody great are those Pinlock screen covers!!! o_O The past 3 mornings my visor has not "unfogged" a single minute of my trip to work. However... right where the pinlock portion is... perfectly clear. I absolutely love mine and will NOT ride without one in the f...

Re: PCX fuel quality

I realise this has been talked about previously however yesterday whilst in a rush I filled up with premium fuel by mistake, at £1.45 per litre is wasn't too expensive but I'm now convinced the engine is running smoother. It's all in your head. If you want to "think" it's running smoother...

Re: Awww yeaaahhh -- used bikes starting to appear

Dumping it I guess. Blue Book on a used 2013 PCX 150. http://www.kbb.com/motorcycles/honda/pcx150/2013-honda-pcx150/suggestedretailvalue/?categoryname=scooter Keep in mind, it's valued at $2500 when purchasing from a dealer. Private party sales will be in between trade in value and retail value. Pr...

Re: SYM Fighter/T2

Sym classifies it as a motorcycle : http://www.alliancepowersports.com/models/t2.html

It's not step thru, it has 6 gears, definitely not a scooter.

Re: 2015 PCX150 Seat upgrade?

Since it sates it'll fit a PCX125 and PCX150, it's probably for the 2013 and earlier PCXs.

Anything above 40F. I really need better gloves to ride below that.

Re: Initial service

Doing it at home costs ~$10-$20.

If you must take it to a dealer, call a few local ones (even ones ~100 miles away). Go to your nearest with your lowest quote and have them match it.

Re: Givi E370 with AdMore Light kit

Seems very dim compared to the OEM tail light... at least in the vid. I know you say that it's not as bright as you had hoped, but is it brighter in person than in the vid?

Re: Gas to put in my PCX 150

I use 87. We do have 85 here, but I don't think I'm going to risk it to save 8 cents on the fillup. It sounds like not one person answered this question lol Is it okay to run the premium 91 octane in a PCX150 or not? If you wish to spend more money at the pump, yes it's okay to put 91 in there.

Re: Okay to run Premium gas in PCX150

Stick with what the owner manual says = 87 (US)

Filling with premium does nothing except empty your bank account a little bit more than "low grade".

Re: Yamaha Majesty. 2 grand $US. 9k miles. Go.

I find them quite comfortable. My cousin has one and he let me ride it for a week while my Marauder was under the knife... which introduced me to scoots. For $2k... I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. There was one (with lots of farkles) for $3000 here recently. I called about it one evening and was told...

Re: Shay and I...

Don't point your front wheel away from your side stand. It's better balanced if the wheel is facing towards the side stand.

In "normal" circumstances, it won't matter. But on a windy day, busy sidewalk, etc... it's better to be safe than sorry.
