Jonathan99 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I just bought a 2011 pcx 125 that has a faulty gas gauge, it is always flashing and showing full. I’m on a small island and the choice of mechanics is not great here. I took it to a place this morning - the guy there just took a quick look at the dashboard and said 4500 baht. He didn’t check anything else and said need to order parts from Bangkok and replace the all front panel. does this make sense? Shouldn’t he check some other stuff before deciding the completely replace all those parts? Any help will be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 9 year old, so the float device inside the tank is likely defect. Should be much cheaper than that, below 1000 baht I would think, see below link, item 13. Check with another shop. https://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/2011-honda-pcx125-fuel-tank/o/m20256sch691768 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehs818 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If in fact it does require a 4500 baht repair, just note how many km you drive between normal fillups, and before you read that point, fill it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh yes but back then the fuel tank had a manual stop tap ON/OFF and Reserve you could run out of fuel on the ON position but turn to Reserve to get to the next fuel station..it was a bit of a nuisance if you forgot to turn the tap back to ON position ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old bike had no reserve position. Had to unscrew the cap and eyeball it from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't laugh, about 30 years ago I saw a "mechanic" in Glasgow do just that . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
