Will do, got a dirty big syringe with a tube sitting on my workshop bench. Thanks for the suggestion!

HI MayHem
I too am in Brisbane with a 2012, 150 PCX. To date I have done 8000km with all the standard servicing all the standard servicing except the valves .

When adjusting your valves did you pull all the plastics off and would have any tips please. I am looking at facing my fears over Christmas and having a go.
Any advice appreciated

If you're on the southside, I don't mind scooting over to lend a hand.
Well, if you're on the northside, I can take the car instead of the scooter. :P

WOW, beautiful scooter Red really pops , and only 500 + miles. No wonder the valves were tight. Never had the break-in adjustment .. Now you should be good to go.. Finding a good seat for your ass is the hard part.. PCX Achilles heel ??!!

My PCX has always been affected by wind badly on the HWY. I dunno if it's a mechanical issue or just my size.
It can do 115kph, but I get knocked left to right and back again continuously when doing anything over 90~100kph.

Do you recommend the G-Euro or the G-Plus? The G-plus looks more aesthetically pleasing with the reservoir at the top of the shock but I can't find much info on the ratings for the G-Plus?

Cheers

I have the G Plus on mine, however, they only come in one spring setting (L) they will be too soft for you. I'm 180lbs and need 4 turns of spring preload and that's about perfect for my weight.
