high mileage

[Why did I touch that]

at what mileage have you started to self service your pcx as ive just reached 7500 miles in just over six months and just cant keep paying for services at my local bike shop
if you have self serviced your bike is there any thing to look out for ???
ps i know i will loose my waranty if i dont continue with the shop service but its a chance ill have to take!!!

I started doing my own servicing at 600 miles. IMO the dealer will charge you way too much for working on a very basic machine.

Where are you located? Depending on consumer law in your country you may or may not loose your warranty by doing your own maintenance. In the USA you will not. The biggest things to check are the valves, oil, and fluid levels. At 10,000 miles I would inspect your varriator, clutch, and belt.

I can't think of any common issues with the PCX. If you stick to your maintenance schedule in your manual you should be just fine. Check out my oil change, valve adjustment, and brake cable how-to's in the forums how to section. I'll probably be making more in the near future when it comes time to change the belt, brakes, and other wear items.

Wow, that's some awesome mileage!

My opinion matches Eddie's. The how-tos on here are simple enough that anyone with simple tools can do any maintenance themselves without the help of a dealer.

thats just the kind of replies i was hoping for .
ive been on scooters for about 20 years now and have always done my own serviceing but they were all two strokes so no probs ,because its a honda four stroke and needs the valves checked i was'nt sure but i will carry on as normal now
cheers all
