Dropped my new PCX

Post by Daddy Cool »

My heart is broken.My daughter just tipped my brand new PCX and damaged the pearl white paint and plastic with deep scratches. Only slight mirror abrasion and of coarse , scratched brake lever. I feel sick. I no longer has a pristine PCX.
Is it possible to get that paint for repair? :cry:

Yes, ordered some as back up and it looks good but haven't used it, still waiting for a scratch big enough. They actually send 3 pieces... base color, metallic flakes, clear coat.

Those stock parts are real cheap to replace. Don't fret and use the center stand. :P

YEA! a plug for the C-stand... I like the center stand even if it does weigh down my scooter.

Someone else might have to answer that... not enough updated websites out there for 2015 products yet so I went with this one until I see one more specific. If you have a huge gouge you might do some current research before setting.

The panel prices vary from region to region. It's cheaper to get parts from Japan or Thailand than the uk. Shop around, but check the dealer prices to give yourself a reference point. I believe the panel prices in the us are quite good but It obviously depends on postal charges.

I don`t think it warrants panel replacement. Hopefully , I can do a touch up.

Indeed. This is a nice little scooter, but sometimes it's easy to forget it weighs close to 300 lbs. I dropped it at 10 mph and I ended up with a tib/fib fracture in my left leg. There was also a couple of times I lost balance of it while moving it between cars(damned parking spot) and almost had it drag me down too(I weigh close to 200 lbs).

Yes she is fine. She was wearing helmet and gloves. She sat on the fuel cap area and moved it forward by accident.

The bike was on standing on a the side stand . I had just turned for a moment to ask a passing father where he got his little son`s Hi Viz vest. I turned around when my daughter who was waiting to get on had climbed on and the bike move forward enough to tip. Ironic , as I was trying to maximise her safety by finding a kids Hi Viz vest. It was my fault for taking my eye off her for a second.
We were not riding.

Feel your pain. One of those moments you wish you could go back in time and head off.
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

Mel, you had me laughing 'n' spittin' me morning coffee! Funny guy ;)

"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You"
Daddy Cool you be the lucky one. Youngin' is okay. "Breathe Again"
Kids can get into trouble in a pinch. Those commercials we've seen over the years are right. Happy for you that she's okay. And certainly hope it didn't scare the ba-geez-ziz out of her. Are Scooter's monsters? No youngin'.....no.
Guess it's painting time for you Daddy. Me? I'd rather buy new plastics, brake lever and mirror. Ebay perhaps? :D good luck
