The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Before I take the PCX out I always give the tires a glance and sometimes a squeeze to see if they are up to snuff. . .. While riding I stay alert for sudden changes in handling characteristics as well in case I pick up a nail or piece of glass and the like.

Recently the weather in my area has taken an upswing in temperatures (Summer-like) so I figured I'd put a gauge on the tires to check the actual pressure and top them off. I did notice that they seemed a little bit "pliable" compared to OEM recommended pressure but expected that due to the effects of time and weather and riding.

The front tire was down to about 22 psi. Topped it off to 29 psi.

The back tire was down to about 28 psi. Topped it off to 36 psi.

The last time I added air to the tires was just before the onslaught of miserable cold weather back in December. So it's been about 4 months or so since they were last inflated. It seems on the average the tires lose a couple of psi per month. So it's good to not them go without any attention for too long.

As an added note I checked the oil as well and it was full to the mark and just slightly discolored. . .still almost like new. . .after 1600 miles. . .not bad. The last time I changed it was at 600 miles. Knock on wood at 2200 miles my PCX has operated flawlessly.

Hi, as I'm only weigh 65kgs i run my tyres at 26 front 29 rear to get a softer ride rear has covered just 5500 miles needs changing soon front lots more wear left. Lafree.

I keep my tires at the recommended pressures. Front: 29, rear: 33

I keep my tires at the recommended pressures. Front: 29, rear: 33

On my 2017 I keep the rear tire at 36 psi because I'm a heavy weight right now. The recommended rear tire pressure is 33 psi. for the rider and 36 psi for the rider with a passenger. I'm glad they put that information sticker in the under seat stowage compartment for a quick reminder.

The front however does remain the same at 29 psi..

I have been using 33 psi at the rear but recently found the middle part of the tyres getting worn but the sides had a lot of tread left.

So now I'm using 32 psi at the rear.

These are a great add, no Muss, no fuss and how do you tell whether you need air? Just take a look…

Those look useful. Does anyone have any real time experience with them? I always wonder with those kind of things if they allow air to leak.

I wouldn’t put them up here if they were a problem. I’ve been using them for about a year now and they work fine, no leaks.

Thanks. I'll have to give them a try.

About valve mounted pressure indicators - a number of years ago I had some similar indicators on a BMW K100. They worked fine - until some road debris cracked the clear plastic cover on the indicator.

Granted, that may be a rare thing to happen - but once it does your tire will go flat.

Be prepared!!

I go with 25 29 for a more comfortable ride, the recommended tire pressure is too high. I could feel every bump x 2
