Honda PCX 150 (2018) (4th Generation)

The PCX travelled 1,851 km today. I went for an oil change that costed me RM25. The same engine oil was chosen Made by Petronas for Honda This was how the oil looked like after more than 1,400 km of travel. Would probably last another 600 km? After the running in, I think it would be good to have the oil changed and the debris I saw from the old oil were probably more than justified it. I will keep on using the Honda Jaso MB 10w-30 engine oil. Most shops will recommend using fully synthetic which they claimed are better for the engine. I felt reluctant because the synthetic oils mostly are 10w-40 rated which are higher than the specified by Honda (10w-30). Some shops even recommend the Jaso MA oils, against the Jaso MB specified by Honda. I wonder if the shops know the difference. If one read the label on the Honda engine oil, it is clear that the oil is sufficient for any given condition and having been R&D by Honda.

Honda PCX accessories are not widely available in Malaysia because the demand is low. I purchased silicone case for my Honda PCX's remote from AliExpress . The case is cheap and of high quality and I highly recommend this case and this Seller. The Seller shipped my order quickly after processing.

I went to StickerDaily.com at Jalan Abdullah Tahir, Johor Bahru 2 days ago. The PCX's body is too plain, for this Malaysian version. On other market, at least there are 2 other stickers or emblem. StickerDaily assisted me with my wish. And these are the results. The areas were measured and suitable sized stickers were cut and sticked on. Costed me RM30 for the 3 Honda stickers.

My mileage now is over 1,200 km. My average fuel consumption for town use has been averaging around 50km/litre which is great. My average speed was between 60 - 90 kmph. Yesterday, my average speed was between 100 - 110 kmph and the average fuel consumption dropped to 44km/litre.

I refuelled the PCX with 5.09 liter of RON95 yesterday. The PCX travelled about 213.2 km with the same amount of petrol (refulled at Petronas near Gelang Patah). The average fuel consumption was 45.2km/l. Could be better if not because heavy throttling and lots of high speed journey. Before refuelling, the indicator showed 3 bars of petrol left in the tank. With nearly 3 litres left, it could have easily travel another 100 kilometres.

After the first service, the engine is noticeably more refined and less in vibration. Acceleration is much smoother, gone are the harshness of the brand new engine. I believe things are getting better with the engine. Before the service, the engine was displaying 47.4 km/litre as the average fuel consumption. After the service and a refuel, I reseted the counter, and after more than 100 km, I am getting average of 44 km/litre. May be it was caused by my frequent in town short distance ride. Otherwise, I believe the engine oil is the culprit. I will continue to monitor. At Tandoori House, Kota Tinggi I don't get to ride much, only to short distances. Today, I went for a ride to Kota Tinggi, Johor which is 40 km from home. The traffic and weather was great for riding. However, the wind wasn't so kind. I have to be on the extra alert, especially when overtaking large lorries. The 43 litre Givi box could be more aerodynamic. But, I still love the box. 2 large full face - no...

When the 4th generation Honda PCX 150 was introduced in Malaysia, I was shopping for my first motorcycle. I have always like Honda PCX but the premium price it was made me shy away. I was actually looking for Yamaha NMax, bigger cc by a bit and cheaper. Yamaha N-Max The Honda PCX is priced at RM10,999 or about GBP2,000 while the NMax on the road price was RM9,100 or about GBP1,655. I first went to a Yamaha authorised dealer to look at the NMax 155 and then to a Honda authorised dealer to look at a moped when I bumped into the 3rd generation of PCX 150. I then realised how much better the fit and finish of the Honda PCX. The passenger's foot peg releases and closes with more solid and premium feel than those on the NMax. The brand new Honda PCX 150 (3rd generation) was having a clearance price of RM9,400 or about GBP1,700. I then tempted to buy the PCX because of the huge discount. Honda PCX 150 (3rd generation) I then started to compare the differences between the...
