linked braking
So I believe that the PCX has Hondas linked braking. I am used to smaller bikes with a rear brake foot pedal. How does the linked braking work? The PCX has two brake levers so which does the front and which the rear and which is linked?

pull them both evenly for now until you instinctively know which is which

Re: linked braking
So am I right in supposing that one lever operates only the rear brake whilst the other will do both?
Re: linked braking
No, its the other way round.
Left lever operates rear drum brake and centre piston of the front brake caliper.
Right brake lever operates the outer two pistons of the front caliper.
Left lever operates rear drum brake and centre piston of the front brake caliper.
Right brake lever operates the outer two pistons of the front caliper.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: linked braking
I recommend reading this article on Honda's website if you haven't already - it does a pretty good job explaining the CBS on the PCX:

Re: linked braking
If I recall correctly, the left lever combi brake system (CBS - linked) applies 80% to the rear brake and 20% to the front brake.
