The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I ride mine 95 miles p/ day. 70% highway speeds above 55mph. And I haven't had any issues. Though any incline will drastically reduce speed. From a steady 60mph to about 50mph. I'm 6'2" 220lb's

With all these miles, have any of you had any significant issues mechanically with them?

I did as well. I changed the oil @ 600 with the dealer. Did the second change myself at 1200mi. Switched to Amsoil 10w30 Synthetic. I figure for warranty sake, I'll bring it in to the dealer at 2500mi to have them do the valve check.

Hit 2k miles today. Going strong! Almost time for the 2500mi checkup

Thanks for the response you you. This is the informative feedback I was hoping to get on my issue.

I know there is a search. I use it often. I was just looking at getting solutions to my driving habits and my scenario. I pulled into my garage yesterday and took my helmet off, let the scooter run and listened for any noises. It seemed like there was some irratic "clicking" noises "p...

I'm interested as well. But one thing I've come to realize on this forum. It takes DAYS to get responses! I've found better luck just contacting a local Honda shop.

I must have the wrong forum. I'll have to search PCX150 forums to get some quality feedback.

My dealer in Modesto,CA will do a valve adjustment for $135. 1.5hr labor

Little background. I have a PCX150 with almost 1500 miles. About 80% of them are all highway riding @ 55+mph. I did my oil change at 500 miles and again at 1200 miles. When will I need to get a valve adjustment? And are there any signs that I can "hear" that will help me know when it needs...

Did my oil change yesterday. I put in 800ml (.8qt) 10w30 full synthetic Amsoil. I checked the oil after riding a couple days and the dipstick reads at the very top of the hash marks, should I let a little out? Or is it okay to run it maxed out on the hash marks?

PCX has a screen, not a filter. And 5k miles does seem a little long when I run it 9k+ rpm 70% of the time. Maybe 2k-3k miles with 10w30

gn2 - So I should stick to 10w30 regardless?

Well I start riding usually around May and hang it up around Oct/Nov. I'd say the temps range between 40+ degrees in the morning (spring/fall months) to 100 degree highs in dead summer. Mornings in the Summer are usually above 60

I'd say that 10w40 would be beneficial over 10w30 just because I ride on the hwy about 80% of my commute.

Well now I'm thinking of switching to 10w40 year round lol

Good write up!

But in the March-May months & September-November months, I'll run 10w30. June-August 10w40

Good read hear. I am between 10w30 & 10w40 JasoMA SL rated, just trying to figure out the best one for my area/temps

Thanks for the info guys. I think in my area, I'll go with 10w40. I'm almost always on the highway, and the summers 90+ degrees. Thanks again
