The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I was wondering if any of Forza owners have replaced the drive belt with the cheaper Chinese eBay belts at $35.00? I changed the belt with one of those and immediately lost speed. Higher rpm's etc....for instance at 50mph my motor is 7,000 rpm which is a joke. anyone with issues of cheaper belts?

I thought I would mention that servicing by dealers I think is out of the question now. not to mention that are many online videos to help the home servicer. the manual is decent as well when you get by the page flipping. the most difficult service is the valve clearance check. However, having a PCX...

One moronic thing I experimented with was my drive belt on my 2014 Forza. Belts are cheap. I paid,(i think), around 22 bucks for a Chinese belt on Ebay. using the principals behind how the CVT works, or even a 10-speed bicycle, the higher the belt rides in the front and the lower in the back, allows...

Its amazing all these Thai mods! Where do they get all the money?? hahaha. I lived in the philippines off and on for 14 years and its similar there. everyone has scoots. But not too many larger scoots like the forza. Thailand seems to be the center for cool scooter mods. I have been in contact with ...

I'm 6'3 also but I have gotten used to the short leg space. I am not sure I would by a Forza again but there are very little options here in the U.S. I believe Kymcos and SYM's are available which are good south korean machines, (I think). I road both in Taiwan but only owned a SYM and that was only...

I have to agree with gn2 on this one. interesting to note that the service manual describes the rear axle nut as a U Nut and under remarks says to "Apply oil and reuse". I don't agree with this unless you can tap down the ends of the U cuts which would narrow the end "tabs" again...

Hmm.....GN2....Not sure what purpose you're serving. To help or to bully. Many places besides Scotland and the U.K. You might want to consider the good of the forum and its readers with your post's. We are all over the world bud. You seem to have an agenda other than to help others. I've read many o...

150's are are fine. I mounted one and its significantly better, a more common size and an easier order. At least in the U.S. I agree on the wheel nut. I had a loose rim after about 1,000 miles. I should have mentioned that. However, your dead wrong on the tube issue. better a tube or new tire (tyre)...

the thai websites offer good exhaust systems. one is MADMAX BANGKOK. I have contacted them via email and they do ship internationally. I have not purchased from them however. they have complete exhaust systems for about 500 u.s. Also you can get the Akropovic muffler for under 300 u.s. (I think). Un...

definately get a manual. I have removed the rear tire and it is most certainly not easier than my PCX 150 was. you're not dealing with calipers or the swingarm on the PCX 150. a good 45 minutes to an hour your first time on the forza. Front rim took me 5 minutes. How come flat are always in the rear...

that amount of money for an exhaust for a motorcycle of any kind is a joke. almost 1,000 US for an exhaust.....pass the bong Yoshi.......hahaha

looks classy!!! Im 6'4" and would certainly benefit from this mod. but I do like to put my feet up on the high floorboards and use the stock back rest for support. I have gotten used to the seat the way it is but yours looks really good. Hmmmm...........

I loved my PCX150. Got Dr Sliders for it and was able to cruise on the highways at 68-70. The PCX is really dependent on wind and weight. City driving with occasional freeway the PCX is the choice. IF you never want to worry about power and freeway compatibility for the long haul then the Forza is t...

ok.... so I bought the 28x18x17G then I bought the 28x18x 23g... so loads of torgue with the 17G's but lost about 1000 rpms meaning at 70mph I was at 7900 rpm. not gonna cut it. so I installed the 23G's and lost the torque but gained back the RPM's so now I am at 70mph and at about 6,600 rpm's. Usin...

tried 28x18x17G and got a huge torque increase but top speed was reduced by about 3 to 4 mph. I'm a speeder so I am looking into heavier replacements. but for those who want to hold on to your bars for dear life that is the size. 0 to 45 in roughly 3 seconds and its really smooth. you dont even real...

well i have had it for a year now almost. the vibration is normal and many of us have it. i have read in other parts of the forum of others experiencing the same thing so I'm getting cool with it. I do not run synthetics although i do not anticipate much of a change. I took mine to a different deale...

I cruise mine regularly between 70 - 80 mph no problems and its just awesome. that's with the 140/70/13 tire. However, there is a lot of bullshitters on this site for some reason that tell of " 70 to 75 mpg". this is of course garbage. unless your going 60 and under. the faster you go on t...

Apparently the vibration issue as I am calling it is a subjective thing. Meaning I might be expecting too much from a 279cc motor. What I call a vibration, which I was worried about, might be a slight buzz and no big deal to a more experienced Honda rider. I have the my Forza back and am just learni...

update....A Honda tech service rep came up from los angeles and noticed the issue. It was then authorized for a belt and clutch replacement as a part of warranty...I just received a call today saying that Honda has rescinded the authorization and Roseville Honda is "buttoning up" the bike ...

yes true you you. well maybe I just have to get used to it...I personally agree with Sendler who said it might be a belt issue....I keep you forza owners informed.....
