Well, 2000 miles since i changed to proper oil and my mileage has gone down to 79mpg. WTF DID THE DEALER DO TO MY BIKE??????? It was running great till they touched it!!!!

We just did the 600 mile oil change and the only type available (in Pennsylvania) is 10w40. maybe the 10w30 is avail at the local motorcycle shop but will be a lot more in price. seems to be running fine. will let you know on the mpg with the new oil change... which, btw, was really easy, according to the hubby.

I really really like my PCX. fits me to a T, balances and rides nicely, just a lot of fun to drive. now, what am I going to drive in the snow and ice in our Pa. winter?! ScooterKim

Just fit some ice speedway spikes.
Yes, that's right, ice speedway spikes.
Elbow to elbow bike racing on ice with 3cm spikes sticking out the tyres.
And no brakes.

Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
