Re: Valve clearances

Thanks for your input. I'm tempted to do the same but it is just so ridiculous that one has to completely dismantle the bike. Contrastingly, in the case of my BMW R1200R, the valves couldn't be more accessible if they deliberately walked out of the engine. Thanks again! I used to knock European bike...

Valve clearances

I just realised that valve clearances on the PCX must be inspected every few thousand kilometers. The thing is that to get to the valve clearances you have to dismantle the scooter virtually to its individual pieces. Am I the only one to think this is ridiculous? I suspect this is the same with most...

I used to cover 220 kms easily with a tank, at a push even 235 kms. Now the bike struggles to cover 190 k...

Squeaky rear brakes

I have a 2012 125cc PCX and I've had a squeaky rear brake virtually from new. The local Honda guys just can't get to the bottom of it. I'm going to have a tyre change (about time after 21,400 kms!!) and I am taking the opportunity to try out a new mechanic to see if he can find a solution. The brake...
