The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Keep it simple. Don't overthink it. Change the oil every 2-3k miles. Change the trans fluid every 5k miles. Change the belt and rollers every 5k miles. Use normal engine oil, not motorcycle oil. 10w-30. Oil change interval is 4000 miles or 12 months whichever comes first Final drive oil change inte...

but how does it just suddenly fail one day like that? The ECU constantly checks the battery for voltage. There's a set level below which the ECU decides it won't play any more. When the battery gets to that level it's like hitting a switch, everything just stops working. So your symptoms are nothin...

After a fill up, and re setting the trip and average to zero. It registered over 80 mpg even before I had completed half a mile, I have now done 5miles and it is displaying 170 average mpg. Not sure how this is meant to work and wonder if it is just not working properly. I would be interested to he...

Reload, fire again!

Looks like two stroke oil to me. Aye, it could well be. Ah, how I miss the smell of two stroke..... I do wind down the car window to smell it sometimes. Getting rarer :( A wee while ago there was a procession of old trad 2t scooters through the centre of town, must have been two to three hundred of...

Bummer. You’ll be missed, thanks for your inputs along the way …….. Cheers Springer, I'm not gone forever, give it a few years and I might get the urge again. If KSR group ever extract the digit and get the G325 into production the urge will be very strong..... In the meantime I'm keeping all my ri...

Oh and I swapped my old 2010 Micra for a 2017 Fiat 500 too.

Have agreed a price for my scooter and the purchaser is picking it up a week on Wednesday. So that's me finished, just don't have the desire to ride it any more. I might pop in here occasionally to check what's going on, see who's saying what nonsense, just a matter of time till some fantasist claim...

The mechanic put in Motul 7100, but I wasn't there when he poured it in to see the colour. Turns out Motul 7100 4-stroke oil is indeed red, very weird. Every day a school day. https://d23zpyj32c5wn3.cloudfront.net/images/product_descriptions/technical_data_sheets/61288/7100_4T_10W-40_%28GB%29.pdf?1...

Ah, how I miss the smell of two stroke.....

Main causes of coolant in engine (in no particular order) are failure of waterpump mechanical seal, crack in cylinder casting, leaking cylinder head gasket. Have you had an oil change recently? Could be someone has put the wrong type of oil in. I've never seen red engine oil like that. Fork oil yes,...

A 40k mile Forza 125 with a broken con-rod is scrap.
Sell it for spares on eBay or Gumtree and get a new one.

All of you non owners of 2021s sure sure a bunch of haters,envious jealous haters... Anything that you don't have just ain't good like the owners say right?bout sums all you haters up....jealous envious, haters...Now reply with some smartass bullshit like lil haters do,get all mad and embarrassed/a...

Jiggle the key as you press the button, sometimes the seat/fuel switch doesn't unlock properly.

Says it has a digital speedo, so its the most recent version.

If it doesn't taste sweet, its carcinogenic.
Never stick vehicle fluids anywhere near your mouth.
Or other bodily orifices.

Doesn't have a filter, only the wire strainer shown above.

Ancient proverb: there's lies, damned lies and YouTube videos.

After running in, if you use fully synthetic oil the engine will be fine to run wot all the time.
BUT despite what you may have read on the web, the PCX will not be as fast as your Rebel.
No substitute for cubes, get a Piaggio 350

All Forza wheels are most definitely aluminium alloy.
