The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Success! -- I designed and manufactured a tool. Took a 12-inch piece of stout wire (not sure what diameter). Bent it in half and then bent fingers (about 3/8-inch long) at the opposite end at right angles. Inserted the fingers into the back of the bulb base and it easily turned the base and allowed ...

Trying to change headlight bulb on PCX 125. Sure, I found the bulb and removed the rubber cover, but can't get the bulb base to rotate. I must be getting weak. Wish there was a tool. Not much room to use tools either. --Oldtimer79

Hi Guys:
Thanks for the feedback. One of my maintenance manuals says "don't use automobile oil". However, Mobil 1 is accepted as one of the best. --Oldtimer79

Hi Guys: Got PCX 125. Thinking of an oil change come Spring. How about "Mobil 1"?

Getting back to the HS5 12V35/30W bulb, what would be the best and brightest replacement bulb to use?
---Thanks, again.----- Oldtimer79

Thanks for the info on the LED bulbs. I'll definitely stay with the Halogen. I appreciate your opinions. --Oldtimer79

Getting to replace HS5 12V 35/30 headlight bulbs on my PCX. Was wondering if it possible to upgrade the HS5 with an LED bulb. It would be brighter. Is it a good idea?

Hi Jge64: Took battery to J&P cycle center. They did load test. They told me the battery was about 50% down from new -- but with enough energy to be satisfactory. I will buy a new battery anyway because it looks to be the original battery which would be 9 years old. Meanwhile . . . back at the r...

Thanks, Jge64. I'll do that and get back. The symptom is even present with the trickle charger connected and indicating a fully charged battery.

Voltage on batt about 12.7 when not running. Then rises normally to about 14v. when reved up.

Electrical voltage fluxes when reved up on stand causing lights to "twinkle". Normal condition when idling. Meter on battery posts confirms. Honda PCX 125 with 12,000 miles. Engine runs smoothly.
