The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Lets get this straight, you placed yourself close enough to someone you already knew to be a shite driver so that they could have another try at maiming you? Very generous. Let's get this straight, how can you tell from their paragraph any details of the accident to know that they were riding close...

@hls158 certain counties councils do free rider training, might help rebuild your confidence when you do decide to give the roads another try...give it a google. I myself have only been riding the same amount of time as yourself although at the moment very irregularly during these months. All the be...

(ideally you need to be able to do both)

Good point and something I had not thought about with these levers, adjusting the handspan alone is just going to give a "spongy" feel to braking.

I was told by the manager of the Honda Dealership I bought the PCX from not to bother using premium brand petrol in the PCX....and I don't.

If Scottish votes for independence, I am sure the Government will make further Donald Trump like decisions to plough up the landscape for tourism to rake in the dough and inject that cash into making the Scottish roads impeccable

I think I prefer the idea of using heated grips and winter gloves myself.

Definitely are quite a number of niggles with the PCX..once you get past the stylish looks and dig deeper certain aspects feel as cheap as the price tag.

I always make sure it's not overfilled and that the seal is not obstructed and it always shuts and stays shut.

That's one thing about mine, its not even used and doesn't shut at all well.

One bone of contention I have with the PCX is the glovebox, with the door of it being cheap and flimsy and not having a lock. On my PCX it never has seemed to "latch" with any conviction, and now I have put on my Termoscud utilising the screw under the door flap I have actually had it pop ...

Those are great, will take the plunge in the New Year (wrong time of year to be spending out) as I must say I am not exactly enamoured with the stock levers, at €66 inc shipping they seem really good value...think I will order silver (argent) so as not to contrast against the handlebars even though ...

Stop eating popcorn before you take to the road, and if you really are nervous at fast speed, slow down

Spare set of wheels, you can get a set of snow chains and change the wheels accordingly

My own thoughts to the colour combos, I am not personally keen on mixing up the front panels colouring with the trim colouring above lights/below windshield.

I kind of like number 2 and 4..with 4 being preference personally.

I think they sell a red and white PCX in Canada (national colors and all...) Yep, this is it, although personally I think an inverse colour job would look nicer. http://motorcycle.honda.ca/assets/Models/2013/pcx150/pcx150_12875_nha37p_and_pearl_himalayas_white_with_maple_leaf_red_interior_front.png...

I cannot personally think of any differences I have noticed in any of the body panels of my eSP PCX over the 2011 models, maybe some of the engine housing could be different..but certainly the aesthetic panelling there is no changes.

You're doing we'll. you've certainly got the right attitude

I echo that, well done on finalising your CBT and now the real training begins.

Shame that the fitted lights have meant you cannot have the Termoscud installed correctly. ta for the input ;) fyi - the mechanic didnt re-fit it right but ive since done so. Its not fitted right on your avatar either!...I have never seen it with the strap showing on the right hand side like that, ...
