Remove kill switch of the kickstand and left leaver. Simple and very useful for any Honda PCX 125/150 Rider.

Awesome? You're from the UK ffs

Even West Coast North Americans have discovered one or two more adjectives.

Whilst typing this I realised that I don't know what the collective noun for people from the USA is in particular. Anyone?

The generic term is American. The Canadians don't mind because they call themselves, well, Canadians. The Mexicans don't mind because they do something similar to the Canadians. The same can be said for every other nation in the Americas.

West Coast Americans are different though, we just call them pot-heads.

But seriously. Mexicans are From Mexico, and Canadians are from Canada. All including you are from the American Continent and therefore American. North American even. Why don't you have your own name as people from the USA?

Is it because you have separate states? Hawaiians Texans etc

Not being facetious. I'm from Europe, U.K., England so I'm English. gn2 is from the same but Scotland therefore Scottish.

Without flaming it is there a reason?

That must be horrible....do they fight often?

Im not 100% certain, what the reason is, but if you think about it, we absconded with the identity of two whole continents and made it our own. Impressive if you think about it.

At risk of sounding/looking like a fool because maybe I am missing the obvious in this thread, the collective noun for people from the USA is Americans. Throughout the world, if someone identifies themselves as being from America, the automatic assumption is that they are from the USA and not one of the other countries within North, South or Central America.

We will disable all the safety features now? We don't need turn signals do we... take those off while your at it.

Got to go watch some Ivanka now because... DAHAM!

Try to hold a cup of coffee AND start your PCX? Huh?

I know a trick - I can leave the rear brake lever alone and still start my PCX - and I bet everyone else here with a PCX can do the trick too - anyone care to guess my trick?

Whats the Trick Dud??? Tell us please ;-)

I wonder what would happen if your throttle position did not return to idle stop when you last shut the engine. Next start up and your scooter will be a rocket ship, and if you are not sitting on it like the guy in the video it would be an unmanned rocket ship. Also what happens when you have a cold day and you have to coax the throttle to higher position as some might do.. again it can lurch forward ..not good for the mechanics or whoever in front like a wall or car etc etc.

I think as long as you keep the kick stand kill switch it would be okay to remove the brake lever to start switch. Personally I like the kick stand kill because then I know the kick stand is up. The first time you try to make a turn with it down you will be sorry.

There is also the 'flooded' procedure which involves going full throttle and pressing the start button for 5 seconds - you then start normally. With the brake lever mod, that would not be possible as the bike would be in a 'start normal but even more flooded' mode. Your bike, your choice, but there are reasons for all Honda fitted.

Front brake lever?

Left lever start function only involves a piece of plastic with copper inside being pushed out by a spring. You can trim off 10mm after removing the brake lever and inserting some plastic into to hole to secure it there. Job done.
