Where was it ??

Let me clarify: He said he couldn't locate it. Not sure if it's in the the oil pan or not in the engine at all. The bike runs better than it did new... so I'll take it

GREAT NEWS! So, its been awhile, I had kind of given up hope. Well, A co-workers husband is Master Mechanic (ASE cert) and a motorcycle enthusiast. Needless to say, I owe the guy! Adjusted the tappets again and confirmed the lost Tappet wasn't in the engine.

No, my bike has been out of service...

Well, no luck locating the nut. I have a service manual and I'm going to have to tear the engine down it looks like. Not looking forward to that...

the gorillas? The ones who don't put all the nuts and bolts back properly :roll: The dealership Start this 1:18 and see how this operation is performed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2833322451&feature=iv&src_vid=i2T4S5uQ-s4&v=s0K-ytyjOFg That reference must be ...

the gorillas?

Yes, I did know that. Also, No I used a 9MM socket on it...

tool.jpg I know we are little help to find it, and I feel the pain for something that Honda claims needs doing that most likely doesn't. The ability to apply a torque wrench to this lock nut is tricky. Even the SM shows a 9m box end wrench on the lock nut. So how did you achieve the 7 ft lbs to thi...

Sorry to hear about that. I was going to mention some things to check but don't want to insult your intelligence. The nut is still somewhere in the engine if you lost it and haven't recovered it so far. GGGeeeezzzzzzzzzzz....that's a real bummer. If it was me I'd have to take the engine apart and r...

FOLLOW UP: Yes, I drained the oil and looked in the strainer, also took off the exhaust to see if it passed into the exhaust. NOW: It will not run, has spark, turns over, no noise or grinding. but will not stay running. :( :x :oops: Thoughts? Also, anyone local to MN that is a PCX whisperer? I'd st...

Also, these nuts are "proprietary" cannot find them anywhere

The diameter on that camera looks larger than the magnet I was using. I've had a few sets of eyes look for it now... sadly I don't have the money for the camera or to take it to a shop... I'll never buy a scooter again!

These little bikes are so much harder to wrench on than my Harley Agreed! So without the valve cover on, no mid body plastics and no seat... you went for a ride :lol: sorry not funny. How do you know it went down in the engine? Lol. No, I finished the job, buttoned it up, ran her for a few minutes ...

So, I was replacing the plastics on my bike (don't ask) I decided to do the Valve Adjustment while I had her stripped. Long story short, the Tappet not came off while doing a test ride. (yes, it was torqued to spec, or so I thought) Oils been drained and a Magnet has been in and out of the spaces I ...

Well, as some of you know I have to tear down my bike and re-do the plastics. During that time I figured I may try to get some more low-end. So, I really lag from 0-30Mph but from 30-60 is where I hit the "sweet"spot in the power band. I was thinking 12G Sliders would help without a loss o...

Keep the little shits out of the garage I say. And cats.

Agreed. lol it was parked in the driveway. Since I'm looking at a full tear down, suggestions for a bit of up front boost? Take off sucks... I spike between 30-60 though.

My friend just said he was going to order the parts for me... I'm not sure if I should be worried or not...

Hefty little guy to pull it over the high side

He's maybe 50 pounds If I had to guess.
