The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

So today i wanted to get the paint sealed, for dirt and such, the paint is in great shape ;no swirls, and no OP. Passes the baggie test for clay. no need. So Unlike a lengthy detail on my cars of clay, polish and seal, this bike got the 15 min procedure of paint clean with diluted iso alcohol and st...

It was a great day today when I picked up my scooter. Riva motorsports was very professional on the deal. I plan to do something on the bike every few days, from reading here there is lots I want to do! esp the DIY section.Mel & Maddie, thanks for the advice. I'll just add on to this thread. A g...

Very nice, ordered, I like a larger grip too....

Nice looking , but still the competitor here in the U.S. to the PCX is the SMAX.....

Agreed, it is def a more cramped riding position.

Welcome, post often and add content here, a great place to learn....

In the U.S. It's known as the SMAX, and I went and looked at it, it does have some nice features, some engine pieces look cast instead of stamped, the rear disc, 4 valve per cyl and a few other things. But it does not have the looks of a PCX, AND is a bit more $.

I bought the PCX.

Me too....I think the black around the shield and maybe lower pieces.....

Very nice....

Did you look underneath?, I'm sure it's a couple bolts and such. See the tech DIY section for help.

This is a very good thread. I have read the other how to's on the sliding weights & the variators and other things, and my situation is a bit different, I want better acceleration and will sacrifice the top end, so I assume 13 Gm slider (per Mel) will work well?

Mel?

Thanks!

Gorgeous seat..

Seal the "hard to get at" components with Carpro Hydro2, spray on, hose off, sealed....great stuff.

The hitchhikers guide short answer would be - synthetic after initial 600 miles, 4-stroke, 10w-30 (or 10w40 for hotter climates) - that about covers it (just never use 2-stroke, ever!) - and always carry a towel and babel fish with you on your journey. Exactly, IMO, on vehicle forums there are only...

Mobil 1 10w40 MC oil on Amazon.

I get mine next week and will run the oil in it for a month or two, and chsnge it to synthetic… Why not? Mobil 1 is cheap stuff and it works well. Then chg every 6-8 months or so.

Nice job, looks good

I never trust fuel gauges anywhere near the bottom. I get my scooter next week and this will be the first procedure I try, I'm sure many here already do this: 1. Fill the tank to the brim 2. Reset trip meter 3. Drive until tank shows near E 4. Refill tank to brim, noting the amt of gallons it took 5...

Thanks, I think I like the malozzi best....
