The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I buy a new gas can at Advance Auto and then throw away the spout (I don't like the new spouts). I then buy a normal spout and little vent from a vendor on ebay to make it a "normal" gas can. Works great. I do use STA-BIl in my gas. It really helps with storing 5 gallons of gas for more th...

I got my carrier at discountramps.com for a little over a hundred bucks. It works great. I did buy their longer folding ramp to make loading and unloading easier. The ramp that comes with the carrier works, but is kind of narrow and short, so the angle was a bit steep on my truck. Although, on my CR...

I used to keep a loft and fly roller pigeons in the Chicago land area... Honda's price for the PCX does seem like chicken feed. Hope to add you to the growing list of new PCX owners. Why don't you keep the Ruckus and sell the Fartsa, garage is only so big. I gave my 16ft Seadoo to my father-in-law ...

"I sent an email to the dealer and said I'd buy a 2015 for $3895 OTD with tags. The responded with "$4163 is our best." So, I'll be waiting a while." Why wait? $268 is chicken feed in the whole scheme of things. There's an opportunity cost in not having it to ride while you wait...

They said nothing about the extended warranty. I sent an email to the dealer and said I'd buy a 2015 for $3895 OTD with tags. The responded with "$4163 is our best." So, I'll be waiting a while. They offered me a 2013 for $3300. They have several 2013s they are trying to sell and they said...

A seat that feels more like a saddle. Wot, has a horse underneath :D ? I had a CTX700N and the seat wrapped up a bit in the front (like on a horse sadedle) and felt a lot more comfortable than the Forza seat. Here is a pic. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7424/9733940823_bd563a46d2_c.jpg I always fe...

I put a pigtail on my Forza's battery that sticks out into the underseat bin. I just plugged it into my battery tender when I stored it for the winter. Started right up in the spring after 5 months of storage.

Congratulations on your new bike!

I stopped to look at a 2015 PCX150i today. Best out the door price I got was $4130. I didn't bite. (including taxes and tags.)

The guy said he'd sell me a 2013 for $3300 out the door. I think if I could get one for $3870 I'd do it.

Matty: Welcome to the forum! I have a Forza. I also have a Ruckus. I bought the Forza because I wanted a bike that could go highway speeds if needed. I love my Forza and finds it has the power I need. I suggest you ride the Forza for a while before deciding if you really want or need after market up...

I like Partzilla too. I have found if you know the part number and type it in, you sometimes can find Forza parts. But, they still don't have the whole bike on their site. So, I generally have been ordering Forza parts from Western Honda. Here is their Forza section. http://www.westernhonda.com/fich...

I was trying to make the same decision a year ago. I had bought a 500lb bike that was too big for me to "wrestle" with. So, I decided to trade it in on a scooter. I already had a Ruckus, so I knew I needed something bigger than that. I was between the Forza and the PCX150. I was alos a lit...

This article says, "Expect to see it in showrooms in July."

I'm 55 and have a Forza. I also have a Ruckus. I'm thinking about swapping the Forza for the new PCX150i this summer though. I have spine problems and the lighter weight bikes are easier for me to ride. I have no need for 2-up riding or high-speeds riding. I just want to be able to go 55-65 mph when...

Hey Emma any updates on your ruckus swap? Both bikes went to the welder last week. The engine is out of the donor (SH150i) and all the parts have arrived. The only major part we have yet to order is the rear hub. We need to make some measurements to check the offset of the rear wheel before orderin...

Like others have said, the change is mostly cosmetic except for the bigger fuel tank... it's nice to have the increased range. If anyone who is thinking of "upgrading" to a 2015 and wants to sell their 2013 at a good price, then let me know... Oh, I already have a Forza and plan to keep it.

I am also getting on in years and I got my first scoot about a year ago... a 50cc Honda Ruckus. Last August I took the Motorcycle safety course and got my license. After that I felt like I wanted to move up to something bigger. So, I bought a Honda CTX700ND because the reviews said it was a good bik...

Merry Christmas!

Don't compress your front suspension too much. It's not good for the front forks. I use a carrier on the back of my truck when I'm hauling just my scooter. Howver, if hauling it in the bed, I'd use a wheel chock and tie off to the handle bars. Make sure your tie down points are not behind the chock....

I know a lot of folks who run heated apparel just plug the scoot into their battery tender when they get back for their ride. I think it depends on how long you will be riding. If it's just a short ride, then you can use the gear and not completely drain the battery. Plug it into the battery tender ...
