The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Update: My second battery, purchase from Honda, died in a year. Last September, I went to Batteries Plus and purchased their battery, spec'ed for the PCX. So far so good. When I was not riding the bike during weeks in the winter, I would put my Stanley Fatmax trickle charger on it. My new strategy i...

First day commuting since the upgrade to NCY variator and face plate with stock belt and new stock roller weights. The PCX maintained a steady 72 / 73 mph (no rev limiter) when on the Interstate. I could not be happier with the results! (Before, the NCY upgrade, the PCX was hitting the rev limiter a...

OOMPH achieved! This afternoon, I removed the stock variator and installed the new NCY variator. I used new, stock Honda weights in the variator. I live .7 miles for I-4. I eased over to the Interstate to run my five miles west to the next exit. For the first three miles, there was no interference f...

Thank you! Good to know. I have the tool to hold the faceplate. I will look for your pictures.

Back at the ranch...my goal is to find a technical solution to squeeze a bit more speed or delay the rev limiter from kicking in so soon on my PCX. Great suggestions all. The second respondent to this thread provide a path toward my goal. I will see if I can replicate his success. To date: I have an...

Your math works! I had a Burgman 400 and got the PCX for wife. I got to like the PCX more and we decided to sell the Burgman.

Hard to trade a bike that gave me 110 Miles Per Gallon last week. May be an option in the future.

Thanks for the variator insights! I had a man call me this evening. Long time scooter buff / racer. He also suggested a taller rear tire (Michelin), though he wasn't sure of the specific size for the PCX. Any one have a feel for that suggestion? He rides a Honda Big Ruckus. He also said I may want t...

Thank you and Merry Christmas. No need to hunt for the website, I will track down the parts. Jack

Thank you for those insights! I take it that the muffler and air intake are the original equipment? In round numbers, what did these modification cost and where did you purchase the components? Joan wanted to know if you did the modification or you had a shop do the work?

Thank you Glen. I do have the Honda windshield. I am looking for top end speed. Any idea how the guys in Europe are going 74/75 mph (120 kph)? I saw a few German videos where they are achieving those speeds. Would they have rev limiters on their PCX? Thank you!

I have a 2013 Honda PCX 150 with close to 6,000 miles. We are the original owners. I use the bike mostly for commuting eleven miles to and from work. Five of those miles is normally in the right-hand lane of Interstate 4 near Orlando. My bike runs like a champ up to 64 or 65 mph, then the engine sta...

I ride a 2013 PCX 150 with 4400 miles. Approximately 1/3 of my 12 mile commute is on a six lane interstate (I-4) east of Orlando, FL. I get merged into the right lane and ride in that lane to my exit. This week at 65 mph my PCX has a big time "miss" If I back off the throttle a smidgen and...

That's a good point and was my feeling when I started this post. Maybe a number of PCX owners were having this problem. So far, you are the only person with a shared experience.

Only warrantied for 6 months. I purchased a new one - same mfg. It is only warrentied for 6 months. The service manager said these are premium batteries and typically provide service for 4 years. I will only be fooled once, if this one dies next year. I am beating that it will provide good service. ...

Thanks everyone for the input. I went to our Honda dealer this morning. The charging system was fine but the battery was the issue. Not doing well at holding a charge. Not a good showing for the battery mfg, especially after babying this battery for a year. You win some .... well, you know the rest....

My wife and I purchased our 2013 PCX 150 a year ago. We live near Daytona Beach. It is her bike, but I use the PCX on a 24 mile commute anywhere from 2 to 3 times per week. I alternate with a 2012 Suzuki Burgman 400. I felt this to be a good way to keep both bikes humming. Three weeks ago, with some...

Thanks for the replies. I will share with my wife and see what direction she would like to consider. Again, Thank you! Jack

Hello All, My wife keeps suggesting that she would like a back support for her 2013 PCX. I have searched the PCX forum for ways to adapt the orginal seat and equip it with a back support. I would perfer to remove the hump and insert the support into the two existing holes. I see new seats from SE As...

Thanks for the comments. The Burgman is normally wedged beside it in the evenings and when I am not commuting. The Burgman happened to be in the shop over the weekend having some warranty work completed. Still, the PCX is normally exposed and on its own 10 hours a day. I wanted to check and learn if...
