Bought myself a PCX

Post by Itchy »

Hi everyone. Bought myself a second hand PCX 125 in Black this week and picking it up on the weekend. It has been a bit scuffed up by a hopeless previous owner but the price was right :D

Looking forward to getting back on a scoot after a few years on bigger bikes.

Look forward to to sharing the inevitable modifications that will be made ;)

Does it have eSP on the airfilter box?
If not don't use the centrestand. ;)

Well documented problems of the stand mounts shearing off in the early (pre eSP) model.
Can cause catastrophic oil loss from crankcase failure.
eSP model has strengthened stand mounts and should be ok.
