Love mine too BT, bought as a winter hack to save my Street Triple R from the salt ravages and now it’s in danger of becoming my go to vehicle for anything under 30 miles!
Just fitted an aftermarket stainless exhaust system so plan on keeping it a while yet. Enjoy yours too.

Welcome to our forums Bri and congrats on the PCX!
Did you trade in your Majesty because of age or because you got lured in by beauty from the beast

Happens to the best of us - We're under it's spell too

Hello again, thanks to those who replied to my post.
Hope you got your ride out Hawes you you. I Had a pleasant couple of hours going to Slaidburn for a coffee,and returning via Settle. I'm off out again shortly
on this lovely morning,not sure where yet? but back by 12 to avoid the holiday hoards.
Why did I trade the Majesty, yes age I suppose, tho it was in great condition for a 23 year old scoot, took me around Scotland, Wales and much of Northern England since I bought it. The Pcx is lighter v pretty, larger wheels, and I just fancied one, and was in the peculiar position---where I could afford it :-), So that's me Pcx ing now, B

Another PCX owner from the UK here with a big bike licence.
Absolutely love it. Have had it 3 days and have 250 miles on it so far. Feels well planter for a scooter. Only thing it is lacking is top end speed/acceleration. But it's not designed for distance on the motorway. That being said I have had it down the motorway.
And it just doesn't want to use any fuel. Just need to work out how to take all the plastics off and I will keep it until it dies. Will be doing all the servicing myself so will be uber cheap.

Congrats on your PCX 125!
I'm not sure about the 125 manual but the 150 manual had the different model years all in one volume so one has to make sure they are following the specs or instructions for the correct model.
Check the tire pressures at least once a month. When I had my PCX I found they sometimes needed a psi or two . . ..

Most probably because checking the pressure lets air out.

With it being the 2019 I want to wait a bit and see if the proper manual comes out.
And that being said I'll be doing all servicing myself. The first one for me is just an oil change. Nice and easy. I'll check the clearances - but as it's running A1 I'm in no rush to do that. If there was a problem I'd hear it.
