Pcx additions so far

Post by MagicSeaweed »

Spent today getting to trips working around the pcx (owned for a year but been lazy on maintence so far)

Added the new k&n air filter without a hitch,

Then got to work adjusting back break, fixing the dam L plate, cleaning all those hard to reach places;),


Then my Givi screen arrived :O the most pretty now ahaha,

Ordered new tyres (city grips as recommended by gn2),

Next is for oil change, other adjustments, new top box maybe tank bag, wheel decals and then whatever else I fancy aha XD

Was the Givi screen easy to install? I'm debating adding one... I know it might help with mileage, and some wind protection, but I'm not 100% convinced it's worth it yet. Let us know what you think!

Follow Maddiedogs instructions elsewhere in this forum. I did mine and it took all of 5 minutes. Took me longer to unpack the new Givi from the box. If I can do it, anybody can.

There is a YouTube video of a guy from Ireland installing one, if you search there.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely check it out. Did two rides today in low 60º F (obviously) weather, and realised I don't yet have the appropriate gear for any weather colder than that. A shield may help for a little while before I have to keep my baby holed up for winter.

Gave everything a good check today, brake fluids, coolants etc,

Finally managed to get the 10w30 engine oil but turns out my ratchet set has been plundered and most are missing :(,

Gonna have to make a run to B&Q tomorrow and bite the bullet for a new set,

Used some muck off to give the bike a better clean today though, pretty happy with results :)

Drainage was fun aha (never done this before),

Managed to only get 500-600ml out, :/ didnt think it was running so low, then refilled using 750ml to get the stick to show at top
