The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

The OEM PCX paper filter is a viscous oily type. The crankcase vent hose connected to the OEM airbox intake also induce oil mist too. You can open and check the airbox, there's oil there. So, in small amount the oil will get burnt and cause little to no effect to the sensor readings. But I'll never ...

Yes, that's true. My first Honda scooter (vario 110) was 120.000+ km within 7 years with no significant power loss. Just an almost invisible tail smoke during hard acceleration. I just use full synthetic oil SM/SL grade per 5000km oil change. Don't really care much about it. Fill the tank, and scoot...

My friend got 25000km out of a Yuminashi sleeve and still going strong. The problem is proper maintenance. No nikasil can save your ass if you starve the engine from oil. Learn from the precedents, like Vlad. He had to install an oil breather hose in place of the oil dipstick to lower the crankcase...

Almost all production engines are using cast iron because it's cost effective, versatile, very easy to machine, has all the needed qualities for road uses especially the anti galling properties. Nodular cast iron is one of the best material for cylinder sleeve for weekend warrior roadster. Nikasil i...

Yup, it's unlikely made from steel. Steel will be sticky to the rings/piston

EDIT: I usually break in like this: - warm up the engine EVERY TIME I start the engine for at least 30 seconds but no more than 60. I just let it idling - first 50km: full WOT sprint like mad in any occasions throughout the rev range (not speed) no more than 10 seconds if possible. Always "cycl...

I can not guarantee that. Ask Homie instead, he bought one for his PCX

... The ebay cogged belt from Thailand I received is consistent but not exactly the caliper measurements you have, close enough but what is the 823mm measurement you have there sir? to be continued... How did you measure the width? It differs by 22,1 - 21,76 = 0,34 mm. Could the caliper jaws squeez...

OMD! I posted just below Homie's test...
Sorry, that was ignorant of me hahaha. No wonder got no reply from you.
I'm reading now.....

I would hope mine will be here this week (last I saw in customs). First to see if its the same measurements as Clem's. I'm going in to note wear on NCY vario kits in general at 4k. I have logged performance acceleration and top end speed at max tire inflation for my 2015 PCX but this won't mean any...

Put the all transmission facts aside, normal new engine under normal use should gets better after. Tighter compression, well seated valve, less valve train frictions, etc... If you use "super good" oil in the first 10.000km (100% synthetic, super slick whadittives, ...) the results are mor...

Note: One member told me that I posted wrong measurement of the belt pulley. To clarify this, I used two flat ice cream paddles/sticks held in "vee" position to get that number. I measured the distance between the top of the belt and the intersections of the ice cream paddle. Then I locked...

I'm highly optimistic that this new belt with wider contact to the pulley would improve the stop and go traction while still maintain the flexibility. And mine is still not there, because almost half of the lower teeth side isn't mating to the drive pulley yet. It takes more kms to make it perfectly...

Ladies and Gentlemen... I present you the complete and (hopefully) accurate enough the cogged Honda Vario/PCX 150 drive belt! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1623/25001233464_89a5a4fccf_c.jpg _3071120 by Clemence Ronald , on Flickr The letter/number-ing is: 23100-K36-J010-M1 HONDA BANDO https://farm2...

I did try to buy a new one
None were accurate enough to keep. They're OK for comparing but not if we need to measure something for international comparison.
No I didn't buy it, I just found it laying around in a project. That explains why the previous owner threw it

Yup, it should be easy if you have the right tool. I had a good quality and durable measuring tape made from reinforced rubber with only approx. 0,5% error in 1 meter compared to my Mitutoyo vernier caliper. I used to use it for making two stoke exhaust pipe templates. Then my dog chewed it nicely, ...

To end all of the confusions I'll measure the lenght soon. But the problem is I don't have any accurate measuring tape for that. Will an indirect measurement using any flexible strings acceptable here? Or should I use the rolling method? The teeth makes measurement difficult
