New PCX on the way!

Post by Wulfy »

Well i finally bit the bullet and went for a shiney new PCX 125 in red (almost took the second hand black pcx for 400 cheaper with 311 miles on the clock) but the red won. Couldnt see any real reason to punt a extra 1600 for the Forza... may as well get some saddle bags and get the extra storage that way.

So hurry up Wednesday!!

Now i have to find some blooming insurance thats not gonna charge the earth on excess/premiums.

Me at the dealer with there demo bike (muddy brown :( )

You will enjoy it. Pull harder on the left brake than on the right if you have to stop fast. Remember that the scooter won't start if the side stand (kickstand) is down. Changing the oil can be done in 5 minutes by yourself.

What was the salesman telling you (in the photo)? It must have been very important since everyone looks serious (except your passenger).

I was asking about the costs of the part exed, one service costs and how much the extended windshield + top box would be, yes the passenger is certainly is enjoying herself lol, ive opted for the free topbox and ill do the windshield myself rather than the 125 + fitting they wanted to charge.

Had a honda vision 50 so the stand caught me out at first on that but already sorted on that one, i take it these have shared breaks?

Oil change myself.... but does it still require the 600 miles first check?

Many dealers are moving back the 600 mile check. It is too early. For most owners, the 600 mile service was a waste of money. A small minority of owners were lucky to have caught the valves being out-of-adjustment. Once they had the valves adjusted, the valves did not need another adjustment for many many years. A smaller minority found some debris in the oil cleaner strainer..... but for many, removing that bolt was nearly impossible without rounding the head and ruining the bolt.

Went to pickup my new shiny red pcx three days ago and LOVE it, it rides so well comfy light and agile instant power holds its speeds nicely and is such a pleasure to ride i defiantly think the investiment was well worth it and anyone considering buying a pcx... go for it never ridden in a "feet up" type postion before but it's so comfy and relaxed it makes the ride really enjoyable. Dunno what people are going on about the humped seat mines not humped and cushions my backside nicely :)
