I never verified the 2000 valve check with my local dealer concerning the PCX. My wife said if that's true then Honda is having some assembly issues and to stay far away for one. We've owned many Honda scooters and have never had to mess with valves in the past. I'll try to drop in my local dealer and verify this crazy rumor and report back.

Now my Buddy 125 gets ridden hard but I baby it and stay on top of all services. I did the initial valve check around 700 miles (in spec) and checked them over the weekend and they were still in spec at 6000 miles. My old Buddy 125 would need the exhaust side adjusted as it was always a tad tight at every check but it was never out enough to cause any issues.

I've seen both cheap China (Ice Bear) and "premium" brand scooters need equal valve adjustments, both tight or loose, so just do the service when suggested if the initial checks are out of spec. If the initial checks are good I tend to get a bit lazy.

This is his story. I watch his videos all the time to see if or when he has a problem. So far very few. BTW that kilometer reading translates to 4200 miles in 9 months. Not bad for a cheap Chinese scooter.

I used to be into old Chevy cars from the 60's. At almost every car show someone would have a Harley Topper. They are Italian made if I recall and really cool in person. Cushman scooters and Mustang "mini" motorcycles also made a showing. That Topper link/find was awesome! Thanks for linking.

Thank you.

It's why I'm doing it. I'd like to think these links have something for a lot of people.
