The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Out of interest does the SH125i suffer from the dreaded rattle? It is so disappointing that Honda has created a superbly capable and great looking scooter but ultimately could be let down by a serious flaw. I would have to think twice before buying another Honda. Stephen Amen to that. Thats a parti...

I dont think it is caused by the radiator fan. At least not in my case. My sound was coming from behind the radiator so the first thing they have checked on my PCX was whole radiator. And they found nothing. I got swapped pretty much every moving part except insides of the motor. So I believe it is ...

Anyone else hearing the familiar rattle noise here ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfAxJFiB_qw
Or I'm just getting paranoid

But seriously... thats exactly the same rattle I recorded on my PCX. I'm dying to know what causes it on the new Honda bikes.

I think the rattle is a new feature on latest (2015 and newer) PCX models. As I mentioned before, I got my money back and I'm no longer a PCX owner. But I noticed that I see more and more new PCX on the road with this rattle issue. And since It was so annoying, the sound is literaly carved in my bra...

@white noise I was fixing exactly the same washer even before fun2scoot's post here: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4246 You can find also the photos there. But my sound is definately comig from the engine. Everything else was examined or swapped with new part. And I planned to use my P...

After a little drama at dealers office, he promised, that he will give me my money back. So I took my PCX from the service garage so I can strip it down from accessories at home. And after I sit on the scoot I was GLAD that I got rid of it. They said that they swapped the chain tensioner for a new o...

Today I recieved a call from dealer. The PCX was sitting for 2 weeks at his service untouched. He said that they have done everything they could so far and they sent my recording to Honda central in Austria (he does that a month ago BTW). He said that the Honda central is waiting for someone else fr...

I think it is caused by crankshaft bearing. It has identical symptoms as I encountered on my 1984 Jawa B210. And as I tried to explain HERE in the last post, it looks like something inside the engine is really falling apart. But now it is exactly like Jojo said. I can barely hear it even with cold e...

This is what I hear in helmet when riding my PCX.

It's an older recording from helmet headset. Now the rattle is even worse, but I can't record it since the scoot is still in service
In real it is much more noticeable than the sound of the engine. Really annoying.

The rattling problem has got worse again. I've experienced a sudden increase in vibrations and noise on the road. I was feeling the vibrations from the saddle and also from the footrest followed by nasty noise, like something in the engine is off axis. I thought that the crankshaft bearing (which I ...

Just a short update: I sent official request to get my money back with extensive details about the problem and also list of service visits both to slovak Honda HQ and local dealer where I bought the PCX. It has becomed a habit that the scoot was whole week at service and I "tested" it on w...

Yes, we have that kind of laws. But first the seller must accept return by filling return protocol. Then if he cannot repair the fault, he is obliged to either swap the faulty item for new one or return the money. But this law has a catch. Well more "catches" actually. If he refuse to take...

Not in my region. Otherwise I would have been already there. I'd have to take a day off from work for traveling to the different dealer and another day off to pick it up and in my case it would be quite problematic.

Does anybody know if I can contact a Honda HQ in Europe directly as a common customer ? I would like to write a official complaint about the dealer who sold me my PCX. The dealer became authorized Honda dealer just recently, maybe half year ago. I know nobody on this forum is interested in long stor...

Welcome. Where do you live in Slovakia? About 15 or 20 years ago we had 4 boys from Kosice stay with us for a few days. They were from a boys soccer team that was playing in the USA Cup, a youth soccer tournament. I live in Žilina. https://www.google.sk/maps/place/%C5%BDilina/@49.0665821,19.2189611...

120km trip today. Image hosting service is down due to technical diffuculties, so I will upload photos later. As I mentioned before, I fixed the problem with displaced snap-on zip-ties which are holding wires and tubes. I also locked the loose metal washer between two rubber gaskets. Later on I also...

Thank you all for kind posts :) Today I brought my PCX back home from dealers service center. They tried to find the source of the rattle i mentioned here: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=747&start=20 ,but without success. So I decided to stick with my trusty saying: "If you wan...

Hi jojo, I have the same issues with my 2015 pcx. I described the rattling issue here http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=747&start=20 . I was at Honda dealer today and had a ride with a technician. He said he is hearing the rattle too. So I left my pcx at the dealers service garage. I h...

Thank you for interesting photo forza300. Never seen exhaust placement like that before. Must be handy in cold winter days :) Speaking of winter ... these were taken in early winter 2014 on two of highest hills around my city: http://img16.rajce.idnes.cz/d1601/10/10658/10658387_e98c7b24be8e88040ce3b...
