Re: Ban Button

Ban button was probably not the right phrase, but the question was fairly straightforward. Actually, according to the FAQ, there is a Friends and Foes area somewhere, but I have not found it yet. Thanks for the responses.

Ban Button

Does this software offer the option of "ignoring" posters that one does not want to see?

Re: Rear LEDs?

Fish, I just completed my top box and additional lighting and it does cost some bucks. But, I think it was worth it. The Givi V46 box and mount together cost about $400. The Admore Light kit was about $130 and while I could have bought something a few bucks cheaper, at that point why? Admore gives m...

Re: 1st Month

Hi William ... glad you're here! First, I would expect your PCX to top out a little faster .... low - mid-sixties anyway. Mine tops out at 67 (I'm 180 pounds). It's sitting in my garage right now while I find it a new owner. I bought a Honda Forza seven weeks ago and have now completed 1800 miles. I...

Re: Comfortable Crusing Speed?

I'm quite comfortable riding at 70 - 75 MPH although I have not done it for longer than about 30 minutes. I wear earplugs, so I don't hear any buzzing, but the bike feels very smooth and steady. We have lots of wind here in the desert and I have never had a problem with it.

Re: Humpless Seat from Powered byPCX

Beyond that, I'll probably have to get some cushion accessory and remove the hump myself. I've heard a lot of good things about the Airhawk cushions. One of those might solve all your comfort issues. I have an Airhawk on my Forza ... made a huge difference in comfort! I spent three hours on my scoo...

Re: Identify sound?

On both my Forza and my PCX, I sometimes (when sitting at a stop light) hear a rythmic pinging (more like ponging!) at a steady interval, roughly one second apart. Can anyone tell me what that is? Gary It's a ponging noise. No, it's pinging but more like ponging. You guys! Know what is causing it? ...

Re: Average age of PCX/Forza owners?

Coming up on my 72nd birthday very soon now (though I don't look a day over 65!). Hit 600 miles on the Forza today and completed the first oil change. Got the larger wind screen installed, an Airhawk on the seat ... sweet relief ... and a Givi top box ordered. What a scooter!

Re: traded in my PCX

These MPG reports are interesting. I now have 425 miles on my Forza (1st week) varying speeds from 40 to 70 basically and with only two rides over the mountain. I am averaging 73.4 mpg and have never been below 71. I wonder if the elevation here (4,000 ft) has something to do with it or maybe I am j...

Re: Where do people live

I live as far west in Texas as one can get, in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert. New Mexico is twenty minutes north and the house is about 5 miles from the Mexican border. It would be fun to ride over there, but of course, it's much too dangerous with the cartel wars taking place.
