Using non-oxygenated (no ethanol) fuel in PCX 150???

I have a couple questions about using Oxygenated fuel (ethanol 87 octane) or non-oxygenated (pure gas 91 octane) for every day use? I bought my used 2013 PCX 150 a few days ago with 400 miles on it and filled the tank with pure gas 91 octane (no ethanol). In Minnesota we have some stations that sell...

Re: Charge card for 1 gallon of gasoline?

I use a charge card now for everything I do. Today, $1.07 for an ice cream cone at McDonalds. I never carry change on me so why give them two $1 bills and get a hand full of change to carry around. Ninety-nine percent of what I purchase now I pay with my cash card right out of my checking account.

Re: New Member Checking In From Minnesota, US

I got the 150 out for the first time this afternoon and took my time and put on around four miles of mostly practicing some turns, stopping and starting and just a general familiarization of how it handles, etc. I'll be taking the MSF course in the spring. I believe it's over two days. I'm looking f...

Re: New Member Checking In From Minnesota, US

I did pick up the 150 today at a good pre-winter price from a private party. Just over 400 miles. I'm off tomorrow, Monday, to take the written test for the "leaner"s permit". It's getting colder here in Minnesota now so I'll probably only get a week to practice riding around town wit...

Re: New Member Checking In From Minnesota, US

Thanks for the reply Capt. Jim. We usually get out to Phoenix on and off for three weeks or so at a time from October to May. We'll have to get a little experience in riding before we venture out in he Phoenix traffic. I'm sure we'll be using mostly secondary roads and trying to find the not so heav...

New Member Checking In From Minnesota, US

I just joined the group tonight and have been researching many informative topics. I don't own a PCX yet but will be looking at two used ones tomorrow. One is a 2011 PCX 125 and the other is a 2013 PCX 150. Both have between 300 and 500 miles. If the deal goes through okay, will either leave them bo...
