The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

My 2012 PCX from new used to "consume" (no smoke or leak) oil at an annoying rate requiring v frequent checking, perhaps every week or so needing topping up. I think the first owner used to idle the scoot for battery condition and had v few kms on it when I bought it. I service the scoot m...

Iceman it would be very worth while greasing the rear axle up. A few months back I got the rear tyre replaced on a 2013. I removed the wheel myself....... :o ooooh what a 5-6 hour job that turned out to be purely because the inner bearing had the slightest amount of corrosion on it and seized up not...

I would very much appreciate the SM for a 150, 2013 model if available.
Much appreciated.

On my 2013 model i can say if anything is accurate it is that it always reads 10% below actual current speed

Wooow, 11,000 mile out of an IRC, my original IRC is pretty much done at 9,000Km and wont have said I am an overly aggressive rider.

Am certainly looking at City Grip replacement soon

Hey Chicaboo
I note like my self you too are in the Mid east of Australia, just wondering if have sourced are parts for the PCX and had any tips for where you have found best to purchases. I can flick you my email if you want.

In regards to tyre wear what is the general accepted limit? (Particularly the rear)

In Australia I understand it is either 1.5 -2 mm minimum tread, that seem a lot more conservative than the manufactures mould wear tabs at the bottom of the tread which appear a lot lower down?

I am just about out on the rear tyre at 8500km
The front starting to show a bit of wear.

Both OME

HI MayHem I too am in Brisbane with a 2012, 150 PCX. To date I have done 8000km with all the standard servicing all the standard servicing except the valves . When adjusting your valves did you pull all the plastics off and would have any tips please. I am looking at facing my fears over Christmas a...

Yes I do like that

Apart from looking great it is especially eye catching for other motorist to pick up on and realise your there

Pulled the clutch out yesterday to check the original bears that were getting slightly noise at 5000 miles. Both bearings rotated freely however the ball race did have a slight roughness to it, there was no evidence of particles in the old grease which was particularly stiff (whiteish in color) and ...

Thanks guys sounds like I should get onto it then.

Are the newer bearings any better quality or is it just under designed component?

I have around 5000 miles on my 2012 PCX 150, it runs so sweet. One thing that is starting to get my attention is the increasing clutch bearing noise just as I come to a stop at idle. I have read numerous post re a dodgy bearing in these earlier models and was thinking of having a look inside and put...

So does that mean you can access the valve clearance from beneath via black plastic cover or not?

Are you indicating the extensive conventional removal plastics right back to the rear is still the preferred option for accessing valve clearance adjustments?

When you do get out would be good to know what condition the plug is in for the distance travelled and the timeliness of all the trouble you have to go to, certainly be only worth replacement.

Got one of these Faux covers bit under a year ago for a 2012, pretty impressed with the level of service and product. I have taken the hump off and cut the peakiness out of the mount holes, have also added some additional HD foam where the mount and seat surface comes close so as not to get jarred b...

I am quite impressed by the air scoop idea, that must pull a fair bit more air through for you
