The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Satisfied with the new PCX 150, but only with one big disadvantage of small distance between bike and road, which I didn't read about before. Does anybody else experience this? and are there known solutions?

I have to say that Cambodian roads are not famous for having the most smooth surface, but the problem is with those small speed bumps on the road that are found in many countries. My old Suzuki never had this problem. It is a bit disappointing and worrisome as a pipe from the tail pipe is the first to hit the concrete.

I hope anyone have some advice on this.

Haven't had a problem. Either I ride around them or drive over at a speed that doesn't cause the bike to bottom out.

My exhaust pipe was starting to wear from rubbing on the road curbing so I welded a piece of steal where is was rubbing, I thought it would be easer than trying to fix a hole.
I think it is a bad design fault.

Thx Jeffrey. I agree it is a design fault. I'm thinking to take your advice.

had my pcx 2 years, still yet to experience this issue

I do encounter speed bumps very infrequently. But, when I do I slow way down and glide over them without a problem.

Now THAT is a speed bump!!!

Tyre blow outs. Has anyone worried about those yet? Someone should!!

Does it need a new thread?

@ buddy76 LOL!!

Talk about speed bumps? Arg! I live in a large condo community. Once I rode "the longer way out" of here, I counted 22 of them. I know there must be 50 or so in total...each 2 short blocks apart. We do not lack for Stop Signs either. Plenty! As I enter and leave my driveway there is a "bump."

How do I deal with them? I make it a game.
I'll practice as Properly taught: I brake and set my speed prior to it, then release brakes raise butt and ride over. Once over, Sit my butt back down and apply throttle accordingly. Then the next one appears, I slowdown and ride through the narrow opening at the side (near the curb). I do this on my bicycle's, so....why not with the skinny scooting tires? Fun! I do weave down the streets between them and then I choose which side of the next bump to squeeze between. I know, sometimes that puts me on the wrong side of the road but....what the heck, it's fun and makes for a challenge!

O.K. Confession: I DID wallop my butt and scape the underside ONCE going over one of them. Duh!! I was bored doing it "properly" over and over...so I sped up and....
Well,...that's How I developed my different speed bump ways

It's that or front wheel bearing failure. What do you think?

Perhaps fashion a type of skid plate or bar reference the exhaust .

Thx Frog.....I will get some plate installed
