The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Well, it finally happened! Passed my Mod1 and Mod2 motorcycle tests and I'm now the proud owner of a CBR250R :D So it's a fond farewell to my beloved PCX125 which I've been commuting to work on for the past 18 months, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Did my training and tests on a CB650F, wit...

Had one of these Battlax SC's fitted on the rear. The IRC original had done just under 7000 miles and had a bit of life left, but I took the opportunity while the wheel was out to stick some rim tape on, strip the brake and grease the pivots and de-glaze the braking surfaces. Took the wheel into the...

Hi PCXade :) Seems like you're having a mid-life crisis like me! :D I was well into road cycling, especially Audaxing and did a Super Randonneur in 2013 (200km, 300km, 400km & 600km rides in one year). I got a PCX in October 2013 and did my CBT on a geared bike, because we were down to one car a...

Another shiny bit for the PCX, a nice shiny stainless steel centre stand axle I made at work.

Hi all Just pulled the variator and clutch off for an inspection as it was making a "rattle" noise on the over-run at between 10 & 20 mph. The bearings 18 & 19 in the diagram looked good but no.19 had hardly any grease in it at all, couldn't tell if it was like it from new or the g...

Hi Chainsaw, many thanks for that :-)

Hi all Going to strip down the transmission and check it over at the weekend, after I finally got round to making a tool to hold the variator and clutch bell. But what I really would like to know is the torque specs for the nuts holding the clutch and variator. There seems to be some really clever b...

Translation for those of us not British.

Ally = Aluminum, or Aluminium

Swarf = fine chips or filings of stone, metal, or other material produced by a machining operation.

That's exactly what I meant

Hello just joined forum and read your post on your pcx from january just bought one myself in same colour as yours with white givi topbox and givi screen . Your post caught my eye as i live quite near you in Upton . How are you getting on with it so far, i 've been through a few small capacity scoo...

So funny and so true :-)

Yeah, did that around 800 miles ago, there wasn't a lot in there, very strange.

Hi all Just finished doing the valve clearances, oil change and check the belt. With 4080 miles on the clock the belt is still 22mm wide, the valves were tight by 0.05mm each and the oil was a bit black with two tiny bits of ally swarf in the filter. Refilled with 5w30 synthetic oil. Started commuti...

Great how-to guide! Just followed it to do mine, 4080 miles on the clock, both clearances were 0.05mm under spec. Lots of fiddling to get the plastic off, but took my time with a plastic tyre lever to persuade the stubborn bits ;) Little smear of Pro Seal Black Silicone Instant Gasket and the jobs a...

Had a nice stainless brake adjuster made at work, now it just shows up the manky brake arm!

That is just the mark left by the ejector pin, it ejects the dipstick from the mould

There's even one for sale here in the UK, mmmmmm if only I can scrape the cash together!

All normal, except for the dirt!

Two good ideas so far, cheers

I see from your pic Chucktuna that with the lower body panels removed, there is a frame tube that could be supported with an axle stand?

Hi all
Quick question, what's the best way to support the PCX to enable the front wheel to be removed, considering the belly-pan is plastic and may crumple if placed on blocks?

Cheers

As the other love in my life is cycling, I couldn't believe it when my favourite team use a PCX for training behind

How is your behind training going?

It's a long way behind where it should be
