The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Does anyone use them? Recommended? Do they get in the way much? I'm a bit bothered that I'll lose control scratching my nose.

I'm afraid this poll is flawed. As mentioned on the other one, scoots come with tyres on. It follows that whatever the stock tyres are will feature more in the results.

Looked at the £15 battery charger/maintainers in Lidl and accepted that I don't need one.

Scootsmart. £42 delivered from mytyres.

My Forza is 15 months old and coming up to 7k miles. No problems whatsoever.

Same for the Vision which I had previously and rode 6k miles through the winter. Absolutely faultless.

He's revealed his local in one of the news stories. How about a forum meet?

What are the TU ones like at motorway speeds?

Just bought a new 2014. Put 600k on it so far. When I round a moderate corner going 100+km the rear end slips a lot. Just little slips but enough that I don't like it. Is it that the stock shocks suck or do I need to adjust the tension? I come in at 180 and they are at the stock tension - whatever ...

I've just ordered a Scootsmart from mytyre for £41. My mate fits them for £15. Fowlers wanted £40 just to fit a tyre.

So, which tyres do people rate? I'm coming up to 5k miles on my rear and looking at a replacement.

When I've done this on a bike I've made up a mini-loom to go between the rear light socket and the loom plug. That way the loom remains undamaged

One of the vent covers on the top of mine has just blown off. :-(

Yes it does, but you have to have it width-ways and right at the back.


Holy thread resurrection!

On a right-hand drive car, the outside of the nearside tyre will wear more quickly than the right. It's not about pressure, but camber and cornering.

I'd be interested to see what evidence suggests that fatter, lower-pressure bike tyres make you faster. Hadn't we better tell the Tour riders?

A good condition battery should not self-discharge to the point of being no use over several months - if a battery goes that bad in a short period it's not a great battery to start with - assuming the charging circuit and connections are all fine. The PCX battery should last for many years not just...

MP Can you provide a bit more info .....size, model number, pictures, etc......re the Shad that you recommend ? Which Shad model do you use on your PCX ? Thanks Johnny I have a 300 Forza with a Shad SH45. It's far sturdier than the equivalent 45l top brands xes I've used on bigger motorbikes. And i...

Shad is better.

Only a few days in, and the Shad is proving itself to be so much better than my Givis. More sturdy, stable, locks on more reassuringly, and doesn't need foam stuck to the base to stop it rattling (there are rubber stoppers on the base).
