The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hello, I have 19,000 miles on a 2013 PCX150.
The motor is running very smoothly sounds great, and I have kept the suggested maintenance, regularly. I'm am wondering if the motor is near the end of its life cycle and the longevity/mileage that the motors normally last. If anybody can help me with some suggestions or experiences that would be great because I literally have no idea. I found a similar thread that mentions two or three hundred-thousand but that seems to be quite a bit of a stretch. Is that really the case?

The difficulty here is, the PCX has only been around for six model years. It is a Honda engine and they are known for being somewhat bullet-proof (though Honda seems to be trying their best to destroy that reputation with some of their more recent machines), so there is a possibility it could last well over 75,000 miles, which I think is excellent for a small displacement scooter or motorcycle. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone has near to that kind of mileage on one of these machines as yet, though I may in a few years time. I already have 5,000 miles on mine since August and with the riding season upon us, hope to have another five by this August.

With regular maintenance anything's possible I suppose, but still, it's all conjecture.

I have 10,000 miles on mine. I love it a lot and hope it lasts as long as I do. Very likely it will--we will both go down together if I don't start keeping my noodle together while riding.

I voted for 250,000 because there wan't an option for "indefinitely".

Subject to fiddling with it

Never ever fiddle with it.
Bad for the eyesight.

Is that why I can't find it?

Magnifying glass and tweezers helps

I've only read one report of someones engine giving grief / locking up and that it seems was due to some faulty molding of part of the metal - spurs were left coming from the factory - Honda did not agree to compensate that person! Other than that, don't mod it, don't fiddle too much with it and hopefully it will last - I see so many old 'banger's of scooters being ridden daily I doubt they have too much maintenance but still ride fine (in the UK it's MOT's and emissions that will likely be the end of the ride).
