The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

The forces I mention are on the disk.

Similar affect as the attached video.

but much higher temperatures, producing much stronger forces.

Not quite

The stopping power/performance is unaffected be they floating or not.

Floating disks can just handle thermal expansion better.

Floating discs don't affect the performance at all.

They allow the disc to expand when it gets hot.

If they are fixed(Not floating) when they get hot/expand they exert huge forces. This is what usually causes warp.

The rear discs warp much less often on combi brake setups. It's a single pot which only gets used in combination with the front brake. It just doesn't generate the same heat the three pots calipers do on the front. The front is just under rated for the weight of the bike. Three pot calipers are rare...

I was torn between a fully loaded 2014 CB500X and a bare minimum 2014 NC750X both for the same price. I would have loved the DCT version, but apparently since the earthquake there is a 4 month lead time on them, and they are rare second hand. Went with the CB500X in the end, I'll probably regret not...

I had that quote this weekend. Plus £80 for a new Tyre and fitting Plus £25 for an MOT Plus £100 for another warped brake disc which would fail MOT Plus £30 for new rear pads again. Grand Total of £685 It broke me, They offered me £2.1k Part Exchange. So goodbye Forza, They also mentioned that the F...

Going to try this at the weekend as my front is now knackered. Homie is refering to a putting a 120mm tyre on a 90mm PCX Wheel. I'm trying to put a 140mm Tyre on a 120mm Forza Wheel I was just worried about rubbing on the mud guard. It's that or I bin the tyre, selling it used wouldn't be worth the ...

It's crap that Honda didn't even bother to paint it.

The whole assembly is prone to rot.

It is there for vibration reduction. The plastic flaps like crazy without it.

I sanded the Aluminum down gave it a spray of black paint and stuck it back on.

Cold Air is denser and holds less Humidity.
So each combustion has more Oxygen in it.
The fuel burns better as a result, = more power from the same volume of fuel = more efficient.

powerbypcx.com does panel sets cheap.

But beware the paint quality doesn't match the original panels. So get a complete set, not just the one you need or after a year it will look odd.

Try using just the front for a journey and then feel how hot the back caliper is.
Does the wheel spin freely?

Maybe your combi brake isn't balancing the load and you are using the back all the time.

Ran the engine without the belt on the other day, buzz still present. So definitely not the clutch or cvt.

I think the engine isn't so well balanced and something is loose and amplifying that frequency band.

Vespas tend to hold their value better and longer, but are over priced.

how the hell do you extract item 22 from the driven face.

So a little progress last weekend. Disassembled the transmission because of a bad bearing. Wheel off, case off, clutch off, belt off, variator off, saddle off, topcase off, Rear panels off, bucket off. Ran the engine. Still has the buzz, but not as noticable. Putting things back on one part at a tim...

The part causing the grinding is a common part between the Forza and PCX Bearing 91002-GA7-702 (Fujikoshi) has been obsoleted in favour of 91002-GA7-701 made by NTN (Not NSK, type O on my part) 91002-KPB-003 has not changed. This can also cause the grinding sound. I have no idea when Honda stopped u...

+1 on this at 14K

Grinding sound turned out to be Bearing in Clutch assy.

Same model/brand which has now been obsoleted by Honda in exchange for an NSK one.

Same bearing on PCX and SH.

Most fully comp insurance will cover that.

Not worth messing about.

Get a new wheel on it, insurance might pay out for the burst tyre too.

It's a design fault.

replacing the damper doesn't fix it.

Honda should do a recall with an up-rated damper/spring but It's not something anyone will return the bike for and it's not safety critical, so they won't.

Avoid sticking anything hard to helmets. A well made GoPro is why Schumacher can't drive these days.
