Re: Headlight upgrade?

Mines does exactly this but not been a problem at all since most roads are lit by street lamps.

Might just be user preference unless you ride on road in complete darkness? I'd imagine cars would have the same problem but not really an issue for most.

Re: Hand Mitts

Been riding through the bitter cold in london everyday, even my new 'winter' gloves helps but still get frozen fingers, i do think muffs will help greatly! how does this compare with the tuscano ones? already got a white givi storage box on the back, might as well go all the way with the pizza deliv...

Re: Premium brand petrol or supermarket fuel?

TBH all you need is normal 95 RON fuel from any petrol station, all fuel would've passed certain tests to be allowed in public. now to the details, i wont bother using superunleaded as your bike is not a performance bike, i stopped using in my civic type r and stuck with BP, Shell and sometimes tesc...

Re: Acceleration Delay between 20~30kmh cold start?

not really come across that being delayed between that range.

i just twist with approx 20-40% throttle and its normally enough to get me to speed.

Re: Juddering Vibration recently in the cold weather

I have always had the same issue -- occasional drive clatter when accelerating from a stop, only at low speed. I think the belt's just bouncing around. The dealer looked at mine right after I got it because I complained about it, they said it was normal. I've also opened the cover to look at the be...

Re: Juddering Vibration recently in the cold weather

The only thing is.....it's not that cold! The PCX should easily be able to handle the temps that we in the South have been experiencing so far. I think the lowest overnight temperature on the coast has been about -1 so far, hardly Siberia. I think, if you are having an issue like this, you should g...

Re: Juddering Vibration recently in the cold weather

well i think its a cold drive train too. checked oil and its full, had it park at work underground so not that cold, rode it out and its fine, nearly got home and it started to vibrate a bit more. I suspect its the cold doing something, guess even with almost an hours ride, it cant 'warm' that area....

Re: Juddering Vibration recently in the cold weather

not doing anything different than usual, will check my oil as thats the only thing I can think of. Spark plug?

There are a few stop start places, some long straights.

Only thing I can think of is the bitter cold in the mornings/evenings.

Juddering Vibration recently in the cold weather

Re: It's official

i think its going to very bad in the UK this year.

Today is the first time there was frost on my car and the whole neighbourhood.

also my usual ride to work today, my fingers were frozen and started hurting, need to decide if i should get new gloves, heated grips or bar muffs :(
