The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

With less than 900 miles on my PCX I found a nail embedded in the tread of my rear tire yesterday. :x Taking the rear wheel off was easier than I thought. The 2 Youtube videos I found were sort of helpful. One guy actually took his muffler heat shield off first. :roll: Another guy took his right sid...

One suggestion. The bookmark in my browser doesn't show any icon. Would it be possible to have an icon in the favourites list for the site? I searched for appropriate icons and found this: . . . . Oh come on, the scooter says "icon" :lol: http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/Ic...

Yeah the new green looks like a robot puked on the pcx.

My thoughts in favor are that this is a new model scooter and engine, and I don't want to be a part of a first model year design issue. The 125 has been out a couple of years; has that been at all prone to any costly problems? Your rationale is not valid. The 150cc engine is a variation of the alre...

X2. This is the only way to sign up for it.

Ok, I'm confused. What was this statement in regards to??

How many miles is everyone getting for the first bar? (I know riding techniques/speed effects this.) And how much fuel is supposed to be left with 1-2 bars? (My manual doesn't seem to tell me.) As others here have said, the fuel indicator bars are purely abstract and are not even linear from bar to...

....what do you think of the Grom? Looks like fun to me.... Probably looks about as much fun as a circus bear on a bike. :lol: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/4841628080_b10c8f574f_o.jpg I don't know about you, but a lot of Americans like myself do not proportionally fit on these smaller bikes ...

Any idea if the estimated 68 MPG for the Forza is based 30 - 40 MPH avg. or 50 - 60 MPH ish? Not sure where you got that 68mpg figure from ... Right here: http://powersports.honda.com/2014/forza/innovations/pgmfi.aspx "With plenty of power to carry you and a passenger too, the Forza features l...

Lol I change the oil .....and I see a lot of people talking about the Valve Clearance doesn't need to be adjusted (so often) . A guy said his scooter has 10,000 miles and he checked his valves 4 times and they were fine. That is the general belief. Honda is overly conservative in the valve adjustme...

The dealer should be able to get one for ya, or get one online from helminc.com THANKS MATEY! Doesn't seem they have the PCX manual anymore? Try here: http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?Make=AHC&Model=SCOO&Year=2013&Category=1&class_2=AHC&mk=Honda+Motorcycle&yr=2013&am...

Yeah. I think that was when I stopped watching the show.

I spoke with my dealer this morning about this. He and one of his techs were able to do the same thing with a new PCX on the floor. You really have to grab a handful of tire and press pretty hard to detect any movement and they say this is normal. They did offer to take a look at it so I might ride...

hmm, every dealer i went to said no test drives on new models.

Hasnt it always been that way for new cycles?

Good news. I hope it doesn't make that di di di di noise Steve Austins bionic ear made when he was listening to something 2 miles away. That would get annoying after a while. :) Steve Austin had the bionic eye. Jamie Summers, the bionic woman had the ear implant. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uhbqprI9A...

Anybody else tried this brand and what did you think?

I have been using Castrol Edge synthetic and Shell Rotella 5-W40 for a few years now in my 1986 Honda CH-250 with great results.

I just performed my post break-in oil change (560 miles) over the weekend and used Castrol Edge 5-W30.

Very beautiful countryside! Thanks for sharing.

Please post a video of a longer road test. Include start-up, idle and acceleration to top speed.

I am very interested in the mods you have done so far.

Thank you.

Here in the Seattle area of Washington state I get all positive reactions. Lots of waves and a few nods of the head. No biker has shown any disrespect where I live. I never got any wave when I used to ride my old 50cc that looked like a Vespa, just apparent pity. Now total respect. I used to live i...
