The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hi all. I'm interested to know what sought of mileages have been clocked up on the PCX 125 / 150 an if any problems have been encountered on the way ?

I did 18,000 on mine before I traded it.
The only problems I had were rusty fork stanchions and the infamous centrestand mount problem.
It never let me down once in three years.
Its still on the road with its third owner and from what I can see its still going well, must have over 20,000 miles on it by now.

13,000 miles on my 2013 esp 125 only problem ive had is a bearing needing replacing in the rear of the variator housing, this seems to be a common problem with 2012/13 models. i have been quoted £50 if i take the part into mechanic or £120 if i take the bike in.
I now do my own servicing/oil changes so overall its been a very cheap scoot to purchase/run(apart from my few mods)

Is good to know that these scooters are really dependable! I look forward to hearing from other happy owners

Coming up to 14k miles on mine now which is a 2011 model. I bought it October 2013 when it had 5,500 miles on it. As a daily runner doing between 50-60 miles a day, it has worked a treat. I have done the servicing myself (learned from a friend who has a lot more riding experience than me) so overall the cost of ownership has been quite low and the reliability... well.. its a Honda...

Nearly time to change both the tyres as they are getting low on the markers. Plus the belt change is due in a couple of thousand miles.

Overall though, very very happy with the PCXy

It's good to know about the dependability of this model. I have owned several Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis and one Kawasaki, plus other Spanish, Corean, Taiwanese and French (no Italian, but not because I don't like them, but because there wasn't a model that suited my needs at that time) motorcycles/scooters, and all of them have been very reliable, but Hondas are REALLY smooth and dependable

i have 12,6** on my 2012, seems to have that bearing problem in the rear that was mentioned........winter fix

Almost 10k miles on my 2013 150 and the bearing went out. The dealer says it has something to do with where the clutch and transmission meet at the shaft. I can't explain it further than that. They are waiting for all the parts to come in now. They are all on backorder but one of the parts came in yesterday. Here is hoping the rest come in soon. Luckily we had an extended warranty on it. We pamper our bikes, so it was a real surprise when it started going bad.

Do anybody know if Honda has fixed this bearing problem in the 2015 model? The prices quoted seem reasonable, but it would be better if the problem would have been gone

i have a extended warranty as well, have to remember to get over to the dealer for that.......i still am riding the scoot everyday, 50 miles round trip to work, hopefully it will hold out...

I have 13,000 miles with no problems or repairs.

I have 10k on my 2013 pcx 150. It is just coming up on 15 months old. It likes to wear out rear tires every 4k. The front tire I just changed for the first time at 10k.

I got 8,000 miles out of my IRC rear tire and the front is still ok at 13,000.

Just hit the 15,000 mile mark on mine bought new January 2011. So far I've got through 2 tyres and a battery...

My original irc rear got changed at 7500 front will be getting changed at 15k due in another 1.5k

Hello everyone, In reference to high milages, I have a Honda 50cc Metropolitan with over 26,000 km on it. I do my own maintenance and have had no major repairs. It still runs like new! I just bought a 2013 PCX150 new and am so excited at the new possibilities ahead. Your forum has been a great help in educating me about these machines! Thanks.

Theres absaloutly no reason a PCX couldn't get to 50-70k miles, modern day technology has come along way

remember the old Honda CG125's? 100,000 miles was a regular sight.

keep up with the servicing and maintenance and it will go forever almost.

Oh yes, pushrod motor, drum brakes and enclosed chaincase.
Lovely.

That's the one gn2, bullet proof was still an understatement when it came to these things!
