The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just filling out a quote for insurance and I cant remember what security features the PCX has..
is it data tagged for example?

So it was worse than I thought, partially seized and not something I could have fixed myself, £35 for the guy that did though.

I've just come back after 3 weeks away with the bike parked out in the rain...the front wheel needed a push to get it going, it had basically seized up with some rust on the front disc. Any cleaning/maintenance tips? I thought about using some wd-40 but that might not be the best thing to use on bra...

Managed to get a pair of Richa Arctic's over christmas, RIDE magazine's best buy winter glove, so cold hands shouldnt be a problem anymore!

The only conditions I wont ride in are icy or too windy, other than that I'm good to go!

If your bike is sitting dormant at what point should you be adding fuel stabilizer?
Also is there any brand thats specifically good for the PCX?

Thanks all!

My last service was at 7,500 and I've decided with my limited technical knowledge to maintain the bike myself from now on,
So what sort of things should I be doing and when approx should I be doing them?

If I could afford these gloves I'd get a pair http://www.amazon.com/Klim-5033-000-140 ... im+caldera

I'm actually a bit confused about why he would go up to a bike unless he finally has some way to secure it. Thats why I'm now thinking a cheap CBF500 is probably better, where I live now is more sheltered than when it was pushed and blown over but its still not ideal. At the moment I just want some...

If I was to get some new panels etc are there any good websites for uk delivery?

You're all correct, its parked outside all year round with no rain cover, I used to use a cover until it blew over a few times (one of the perks of living in rainy windy Scotland), its also been pushed over by kids, so yeah If I had a garage it would be in pristine condition, having said that I coul...

Ah sorry for the lack of info, bought new in January 2011 with now almost 9000 miles on the clock, full service history (although I opted out of the valve check at the 7500 service) I suspect gn2 is right, although it does look a LOT better when cleaned up! photos were taken just after an Inverness ...

When selling is it generally worth replacing battered/scratched panels? Obviously I'd get a better price but would it outweigh the cost of the new panels? My PCX is pretty battered so I'm not expecting too much... about 3 panels need replacing and maybe the exhaust too.. Any advice peeps? (Yes I kno...

I too am getting a hankering for more power, a Forza would probably be fine but I find myself looking at the Honda NC700 the new CB500 and even the new Yamaha MT (FZ in the US) 07 !!

The new one is better in every way except for the front headlight design, I prefer the original one which has a little more attitude and character. Would still take the new one of course.

Not a youtube video but worth a laugh if you read it..

From what you said it seems it's not a flooding problem - but maybe it's worth trying > ignition on, accelerator to max throttle (Do not hold lhs rear brake lever in at all!), press and hold the ignition button for 5-8 seconds, release and try starting normally. Do this 2-3 times if needed. This is...

Thats what I thought, anyway after waiting an hour It finally started, strangely it seems reluctant to start when the weather is 'close' (high pressure, slighty humid) for some reason.

I'm on my second battery and the bike's refusing to start, the dash comes on, it ticks over and then dies. I normally use the bike several times a week but havent used it for four or five days, I cant see how this is normal, just what is the expected battery life? Am I really going to have to fork o...

Stupid question and stupid analogy gn2, thanks anyway.
