Re: Vibrating / Rattling Sound at while moving at low RPM

Sounds like the noise I get from mine. I did ask about it on here and replies seem to think it was normal...
It's likey to be noise from the valves "floating" when under no load.

I fixed it by turning up the volume on my Bluetooth headphones :D

Re: Gear and Putzing Around Town

Lift up helmet, trainers, shorts and t shirt. Usually riding single handed to work with cup of coffee in left hand :roll:
My risk, my choice, what happens happens.
Wear what you like just be fully aware of the consequences.

Re: PCX Valve Adjustment

Just checked mine yesterday. Considering how many people say its a lot of work i found it fairly easy. Takes at least twice as long to do on my quad. Anyway my intake was 0.9 and exhaust 0.24 mm pretty much bang on spec although I did adjust the intake back to 0.10mm . 970 miles on my scoot and did ...

Re: New pcx owner from u.k.

My friend bought a 2018 pcx today and since I just bought a new phone with a camera that works properly lol thought I'd add couple pics... 20180608_172325-800x600.jpg 20180608_172334-800x600.jpg I do like the new digital clocks and the wider rear wheel but some parts do seem a little more flimsy tha...

Extra performance with large screen

So after buying the tall givi screen i noticed an immediate boost in acceleration but didn't really think much of it... I decided to do some testing and it seems the difference is quite big. With the oem screen i can get to 62 but any head wind/gradient put me back to around 55mph . With the tall gi...

Dave in ref to your last sentence above, responding time does time out. How many minutes does one have? I'm not sure, but I do know a way around losing all that you type. ... I've not had a "time-out" issue since I checked the "keep me signed in" box when I logged in. What I do ...

Re: What To Do...? Muffler Rattle...

Thanks Dave. If no pictures of the interior exist then that is what must be done and, if it still rattles I will have little choice but to cut the end off and look for a broken weld there. I may have located a local welding shop with sufficient expertise to weld such thin metal. I'll report back wi...

You could have a local welder put a couple of tack welds on it first to see if that fixes the rattling?

Final drive oil done after 2 years... There is nothing other than oil change due at the 600 mile service according ti my se...

Re: Overfilled oil. Did i do any serious damage?

Manufacturers stipulate what time a job takes. They don't necessarily allocate the same times per service as each other. Ergo despite the hourly labour rate being the same, the costs may well be different. I get that, But there's just no way honda can say it takes more than 1 hour to change the oil...

Re: Overfilled oil. Did i do any serious damage?

It is fair, yes. It's called mitigating risk on the main dealer's part. We'll agree to disagree on that one... I apologise for being a bit prickly over the "stealer" issue. It's based upon personal experience of being called one myself. I'm a Property Developer, so I'm sure you can imagin...

Re: New pcx owner from u.k.

Maybe you should have just ordered the mid high one and left the tall one alone temporarily. It only takes a few minutes to swap out windshields, so you could have tried both at different times of the year. Oh well. I wasn't happy with the size anyway so don't think I would have kept it on as it wa...
