The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

My 2014/15 150 is coming up to 12 thou k's...anything major to have done here?...I have only been changing the oil(both gearbox and engine) about every two thousand or so...and only ever had the 1st service done at the dealer, and not sure if they did the oil strainer or not...and I have not touched it at all ever!! fyi...all going well still.


thanks pcx150man

I believe people mentioned no need to change oil sooner than the recommended interval, but no harm if you do. That said, how have you changed both sets of oil thingies and not had the screen out once? (if I read this above correctly). You should have checked it when you first changed the oil yourself, just to make sure - no need after that as all the crud comes out in the initial use of the bike.
Do you have the owners manual? It has the service schedule and is similar across all age of PCX - try this

The belt needs inspecting or changing - it may last a few 1000 miles more.
The spark plug and air filter need inspecting, although only the air filter will need changing as it cannot be cleaned (it's sticky). The spark plug is cheap, about £5 but some have used the same one for a lot longer - if it looks fine and the bike runs fine, maybe stick with it but buy a spare!

Yes, you have that correct, I am hoping it was checked and cleaned in the first service.

Good job, PCX150man!

Congrats on your great service record. My PCX only has about half as many Ks as yours does and I have had zero problems with it so far. I have noticed that my belt sometimes acts a little stiff and vibrates somewhat noticeably on takeoff until it warms up, so I'm guessing it's beginning to show its age a little. If it keeps doing that, I'll take the cover off and have a look.

Have you noticed any signs of aging at 12 thousand Ks?

I am a little confused. A 'K' is a thousand, which means 12K is 12,000.... 12 thousand 'K' is a LOT more miles than 12 thousand (that would be 12,000 x 1,000). I am assuming you meant 12K miles, which isn't really that much on a PCX. My wife's bike has 13K on it right now. We just follow the suggested maintenance on it, though we did change out the belt because the top end was dropping.

I just took it as 12 thousand kilometer's

1k = 1000 meters (or $1000.00 US )
12k = 7.456 US miles
12,000k = 7456 US miles

FTFY.

K just means 1, 000.

I am going to claim miles as an English unit of measurement you guys use under license

Yep ..........Australia we do kilometres

Forgive me. I'm an engineer. 'K' is thousand. 'k' is kilometer.
