Honda PCX125 - Owner's Manual > Load Limits & Guidelines

Your scooter has been designed to carry you and one passenger. When you carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your scooter well-maintained, with good tires and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given limits and guidelines.

However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously impair your scooter's handling, braking, and stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin.

Loading

How much weight you put on your scooter, and how you load it, are important to your safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger or cargo, you should be aware of the following information.

Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manual.

Load Limits

Following are the load limits for your scooter:

maximum weight capacity:

348 lb (158 kg)

includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo, and all accessories.

maximum cargo weight:

24 lb (11 kg)

includes following maximum compartment weights:

center compartment: 22 lb (10 kg)

glove box: 2.0 lb (1.0 kg)

The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry.

The glove box is for lightweight items.

Loading Guidelines

Your scooter is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket or other small items to the seat when you are not riding with a passenger.

If you wish to carry more cargo, check with your Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to read the information regarding accessories on page 5 .

Improperly loading your scooter can affect its stability and handling. Even if your scooter is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.

Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:

• Check that both tires are properly inflated, and that pressure in the rear tire is increased to suit the load.
• To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied down securely before you ride.
• Place cargo weight as low and close to the center of your scooter as possible.
• Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
