Re: 2025 US model PCX - phone mount

The new 2025 model I purchased looks very nice as they have covered all wires with a plastic cover in the handle bar. But this has opened up a new problem - there is no handle bar exposed to install a phone mount. Please please - if anyone knows of any contraption that would circumvent this issue.....

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I am almost decided to trade in my 2021 PCX for the 2025 - just so that I can get the 6-year Honda warranty extension. My son rides this in college and I need trouble free riding for him. I know these scooters - just about nothing goes wrong but I need some peace of mind. The dealer told me he has ...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

I still wanna see a 2025 model but I'm happy with my 2023. Now if Honda brings the Giorgio step-thru model to the US I'll trade in towards tha5 step-thru model. I'm not opposed to the rear drums either. Like you said, simple and efficient, and plenty capable to stop a 300# scoot. The handlebar cove...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

This conversation is a bit odd to me. I placed a deposit on a 2025 Honda PCX a month ago just picked it up from my local Honda dealer less than a week ago. It definitely has the traditional coil springs and, as expected, still has tear drum brake. Maybe Honda reserves the upgrades for other markets....

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I placed a deposit on a 2025 PCX this morning. It has an ETA of 5/21/25.
I'm hoping the 'pearl gray' looks decent.
No matter I guess since it's the only color available in the US.

Re: PCX wouldn't start

The 2014 PCX is fuel-injected, so the scoot shouldn't really be "flooded" since it has no carburetor. What I'm proposing may or not apply to your scoot... but it's all I can think of. Many bikes have a "disable switch" that will activate in the event a bike ends on its side in an...

That looks good. I like the size. How well does it work and do those lower sweeping wings provide any wind deflection off the hands?

Re: Drive belt

I'd be more concerned with what brand belt it is. And who the "seller" is on Amazon or Ebay.
If it's a reputable brand it can still be pirated and misrepresented, and if the cost is considerably lower than one you could buy from a reputable motorcycle vendor.... it probably is.

Re: Bought a new left-over 2023 PCX today!

Simple is always better with me. That's one of the reasons I've been looking into the Genuine scoots. Given the price and performance, the Buddy 125 may just be the best deal of the bunch, so I look forward to your review. I've done a good bit of lurking on the Modern Buddy Forum comparing opinions ...

Re: Bought a new left-over 2023 PCX today!

Nice catch on a new 2023 model. I've been looking at both the Genuine Buddy 170i and the Hooligan 170i along with the PCX160. I'm not a big fan of the looks of the ADV160, but that's personal preference only. I'm too old to even pretend to be an "adventure" rider. How about keeping us info...

Re: 2021 PCX/A Service manual availability?

Per the 2024 Honda PCX 160's Owner's Manual, HelmInc is Honda's preferred vendor for service manuals. From experience, I can tell you that an authorized Suzuki Service Manual (in paper) is almost double that of the PCX's... and mine has paid for itself. Pick any basic maintenance or repair chore on ...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

I've been unable to get any info on the 2025 US models. No definite dates available, colors, changes... nothing. Since there are still '23 and '24 models still on some showrooms, there probably won't info until Honda releases the 2025s to its dealers and announces them on the web site. Plenty of 202...

Re: Transmission making clickity noise after replacing CVT belt and got transmission cleaned at dealer

There may not be a problem. But any time there appears a "new problem/noise/feel" after a service I always suspect something was left amiss during the work performed. If it were my scoot, I'd take it back to the dealer just in case. If they give you the good to go, so be it. But at least t...

Re: Mouse damage

Those were my thoughts too. The procedure may well be the same for the US models, but I've no idea where to get it reprogrammed other than a Honda dealership. Maybe someone else is more knowledgeable and savvier that me.

Re: Stator

You may have a bad starter, but before you start replacing expensive electrical components, that can't be returned after out-of-the-box, have a qualified shop or parts store, do a "load test" on the battery to verify the battery's condition. A defective battery can read 12.2V when idle, bu...

Re: Mouse damage

It's not unusual for mice to gnaw on the insulation around wiring components, but this is the first time I've seen other rubber parts damaged. The PCX125 isn't sold in the US, so I have no access to a vendor's OEM Honda parts schematic to see if those rubber covers are available. My guess is they're...
