The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I don´t consider myself an inexperienced rider and I do not like the IRCs. I understand and feel that they grip better with higher temperatures, such as they exist in South East Asia (and Australia). I had at least three times they did not grip as they should, all at below 20 Celsius. I am not the o...

...so much that the driver didn´t even notice a battle tank and pulled out in front of it!

Bearings are a problem, but a more immediate problem could be tyre damage if you leave the pressure at the sidewall for over 5 seconds: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... iller.html

Ok so, in the long term things may fail early. I don't plan on riding like this all the time. Maybe say 20 miles or less a week. Now on the short term, the rear tire getting really hot, is there a cause for concern? As for that picture, sure i wouldnt mind over loading but we're going 55+ mph... lo...

Oh yeah, and welcome to our Slovakian! Was only in Bratislava for business and ticket all the boxes for a nice two day trip.

Greetings Slovakia, from Vietnam. I love how this bike is so international. Cobbled streets, mountains, I'm so jealous. I had a nice time in Vietnam and Nha Trang this February :-) Bought a Yamaha Scooter in Saigon, rode to Nha Trang and then took the train to Hanoi. The train ride was somewhat bor...

In the UK, one problem that I have seen is the attitude of car drivers to having L plates on your scoot. They seem to be a sign to drivers that says 'I must get passed' . For example, in my home town, the main through road has a 30mph speed limit, which increases to 40mpg for about 300 yards before...

Evidently the standards of the licensing body is declining. Over 60% of people fail their tests, so how much stricter would they need to be? This is already one of the highest fail rates in the EU! Germany´s is around 30%, but then they have obligatory 10 hours classroom teaching that includes the ...

Nuff said on here. Fully synthetic does no harm at all, the other way around!

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/peter-hall-police-motorcyclist-wins-3498249 I can hear traffic with or without earplugs, at speed even better with them. Tinitus is a nightmare, my dad has it also work related (ah, good old times with workplace safety allowing to smoke in closed rooms and handle...

Yep, cross winds and turbulence from passing lorries are an issue, but I hope that it will get better with the larger tyres. I don´t ride the PCX WOT, 55 to 60 mph is usually enough to keep up with traffic in the slow lane and the scooter sounds all right. I don´t do long rides cross country or so, ...

My dealership changed the exhaust pipe twice and for free. The third one is fine after two years.

The insurers in the UK are nothing but scammers who make their money trusting people are to busy or to squeezed or to lazy to switch. I have never seen a place where the renewal was more expensive after another year of not claiming but the UK! My insurance profile: - nearly 10 years protected no cla...

Same in the UK. A PCX 125 cannot keep ahead of trucks, it just isn't fast enough. Are you in the same United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland where I live? If so, there is a 60mph speed limit strictly enforced even with tachographs. I have not seen a stock PCX doing less then that and ...

Hi all there seems to be a big difference in top speed of the pcx 125 some say 50 -55_60_65 and even 70 mph im not to bovered but would like a nice cruising speed on motorway without thrashing the little pcx .? Or maybe get a 125 with more bhp. Just would like all your opinions . Thanks all and gre...

'The rear tyre locked' - is that due to having to apply more pressure then expected?, as I don't understand how lack of grip comes into play with the tyre locking - isn't that a braking issue not a grip issue? Others stated that the City Grip extra-grip only comes into play when turning as the cent...

Re. the comment above stating stock IRC's are 's**t' - this is unfair and not true. ... If you ride WOFT a lot of the time :P and scrape your knees on every turn :P then yes, IRC's are not for you. Why is it unfair and not true if many people have bad experience with the IRCs ? I had a few bad mome...

tiny scratches and a bent crash bar, thats it.

Hi all, Just wanted to report back on the effectiveness of these. I had a chance to test them out before the 23rd of February when I went to Vietnam, due to my own stupidity (please don´t ask how). It was a fairly low speed crash, roughly 10 - 15 mph. I landed on my right side and am impressed. I th...

Just came back from a Bike trip in Vietnam, bought a Scooter in Saigon for 310 Dollars and sold it in Hanoi for 160, after fixing stuff for another 50 Dollars on the way. I can put some interesting helmet cam videos online now :D Stuff like oncoming 40 Ton trucks passing and overtaking in my face......
