The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hey Sandymay, I have both scooters and have always found the PCX to be much easier and more fun to ride. The difference is quite striking and immediately apparent. Unless I'm going on a major grocery run or going out of town, I always take the PCX -- I don't even think twice about it. If you plan to...

Well, one silver lining is that it's the perfect time of year for a little time off. Remember when you were a kid and you waited in school all winter long looking out the window and waiting for the winter to go away? Then finally, as if by magic, summer arrived and you were set free at the very same...

Keep up the good work !

Yes, Mike, That sounds exactly like my experience with ordering something from Honda which is not on the showroom floor. It seems to be their business model, though it doesn't make sense to us. Compare and contrast with Harley-Davidson, who will tell you on the day you order your bike exactly on whe...

5400 miles/8700 KM on my 2014. No repairs or replacements of any kind, oil changes at 600m/965km and 5200m/8360km. Still runs great. 87112, I used to have a 300GTS, and I don't think it was nearly as good a scooter as my Forza is. It was cute, though. Gotta give it credit for that. :) Johnny p.s. I ...

Oooo nice place!

Peace, love, caffeine, sugar -- A winning combination fer sure !

Good one, Dave! I'm gonna start using that.

Johnny

Aha!

Limey -- always thinking -- way to go!

Now I'm wondering where all that water is, 'cuz they don't got no marinas in Yellow Springs.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Don't tell us, Fish. We can figure it out on our own.

Johnny

Fish,

Where dat?

No doubt indeed!

So welcome to the forum -- lots of friendly and helpful folks here with tons of PCX experience and advice, some of which is good..

Glad to have you on board.

Johnny

Beautiful! Looks great -- love the wheels; that front wheel fits the fender perfectly -- nice touch.

Please post some shots of the handlebar/controls/levers. I'm thinking about upgrading mine and need some ideas.

And welcome to the forum!

Johnny

Mine works OK but everything about the box tends to be a little too tight. The fact that your key goes all the way in is a good sign, though. I don't have any idea how to get in there to look at the mechanism, but the lock looks pretty straightforward otherwise. Your neighborhood locksmith may know ...

Thanks for the tip on Revzilla, Mel.

I love Revzilla, but I wouldn't have thought of them for tires. Now that's where I'll go.

Llantas y Stickers Garza A tire and sticker shop? Sounds legit. Just ride. :) Gil Sure it's legit! After all, it has the seal of the State of Texas proudly displayed in the window. Garza's deal is that if you're willing to go down there and stand around in the broken glass and transmission fluid wh...

Thanks for the great report, Dave. Please keep on camping and tell us how it goes. I always look up the places you mention in your travels and enjoy them vicariously at least.

Johnny

Yeah cuz it would be waay too much trouble to drain the oil and gas and coolant and then the plastics would be like NAH! But, on the plus side, the price sounds not bad to me. Take a look at the tires, though. At 10,000 miles the rear will need to be replaced or will already have been replaced. Fron...

^^^^^

What they said. Nice people, great seat covers, very nice appearance, your choice of trim, durable, huge improvement over stock.

Johnny

UPDATE: Writing that post made me realize that it's already the month of May, so I got my courage up and rode the little feller down to our neighborhood inspection station, Llantas y Stickers Garza, to see if the rear tire would pass muster. !No problema! Flew right through.. Our friend YouYou might...

When we lived in Dallas, I used to hang out with the vintage (i.e. 2-stroke) Vespa and Lambretta gang. Those guys take this stuff REAL serious and would not have a Honda in their garage for any reason. I'll bet they'd love this machine, though, especially if it's fast and sounds good, which I imagin...
