The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

was sold on the Givi trunks but wasn't sure about the mounts. Would love some pics... -------------- All you need is here: a how-to by PCX Commuter. The Givi mount is not sturdy -- the brackets are small and the base is plastic. Go for the OEM trunk base. On top of that, install a Givi trunk (or to...

-----------------
I think a thumbnail with 800 x 600 dimensions would be just fine, provided that you can still post big pics and click on them to make them full size.

Want to find the best option for mounting a trunk... ---------------- Honda's OEM trunk base is the best option in your case. You can mount Honda's own box on top of it, or any Givi with an adapter plate. Check this thread out: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1221 Image courtesy of ...

I don't see any crack marks or cast lines on mine:

My PCX 150:

In Thailand, three-up is the norm.

Have you considered just buying a new bike?

-----------
GN2 is looking forward to the new Forza 300.

Finland is full of idiots and rode rage is rampant. Anything resembling a motor scooter gets harassed and intimidated by cagers. That's why everybody gets a big bike just to be safe. Even the bikers have no respect for scooters. If one tries to split the lane with them, they get nervous and try to s...

you you wrote:Tourons?

------------
I guess it means "stupid tourist" (tourist + moron).

It could also be a misspelling (Volkswagen Touran).

Current model is the same as it ever was -- carburetted, two-stroke. The engine is almost 40 years old. No improvements at all (apart from a catalyzer). At full throttle any PX consumes way more fuel than the PCX. With the PX, full throttle is the only way if you want to see it move. Even the new LX...

It's not in the same league by a long shot. I have a PX 200. It's very thirsty. Six litres per 100 km is not unheard of. The 125 is not much better at economy.

My favourite Harley is the Sportster. The 883 is actually one of the cheapest big bikes in Finland. I know it's considered 'entry level' and a woman's bike. I would love to have one, though.

Doesn't Honda install from the factory an AGM Gel sealed battery that does not require liquid electrolyte? ------------------- I guess that depends on where you live or who you buy your battery from. Chances are that you could easily find a replacement battery that needs filling before first use (s...

It just occurred to me that maybe there's a need for instructions how to prepare a new motorcycle battery. Just make sure you have it properly sealed so the battery won't spill when placed on its side inside the vehicle. After adding water, seal it and wait an hour. Then charge it full and complete ...

is it easy to replace the battery yourself? -------------- Do it yourself. It's very easy. 1. Open the seat 2. Find the battery compartment hatch and release the plastic notch by pressing it 3. Remove the hatch 4. Disconnect and reconnect battery terminals in this order -+/+- 5. Release the rubber ...

The PCX 125 was first introduced in 2009 in Thailand. It had been available for three consecutive years there until the 150 hit the market. The United States is only a sideshow as it is. You're lucky to get what you get -- when you get. Still no SH300 on your shores.

Here's another photo of the centerstand from the other side.

One suggestion. The bookmark in my browser doesn't show any icon. Would it be possible to have an icon in the favourites list for the site? That should be easy enough for me to do. Any suggestions for an icon? ---------- What about plain and simple 'PCX' in a square. The roundel is already being us...

I think Maddiedog has found a good recipe for success and a perfect balance. Maddiedog's moderation is almost invisible and the users are great. We are so great. And the scooter is great. Wonder what we shall do should Honda ever drop the PCX from their line of scooters? Still keep on talking about ...

One size fits them all. Just make sure the mounting plate is the right type (Monolock vs. Monokey).
