The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

What are serrated type? (Semi-metallic? Sintered?) Was that on the front or the rear? I put whatever cheap eBay pads I can get. Some last, some don't. Honda is way too expensive and are not any better than eBay. I had the sintered pads and they took forever to bed in. I like the organic pads. I thin...

Yesterday I went to Chilliwack to buy some Ride-On tire sealant and balancer. Probably a waste of money. I put it in the rear tire today. It required a short ride to distribute it. I went up to Boston Bar to check out the road damage from the big November storm. There was very little damage. The usu...

I did a quick trip to Agassiz to return some library books, it is a free library box at the side of the road. Take what you want, donate some also. I owe the Library box up in Lytton a few books also but I presume the box burnt down when the whole village was destroyed by fire. It got up to 8.2C tod...

My old body is recovering from the tire changing abuse. I installed new brake pads yesterday and ordered my next set of brake pads from China.

The way things are going with the supply chain I should order my next rear tire right away also.

This motorcycle is expensive. I need a rich girl friend.

I spent Monday in a lot of pain, I have too many injuries. I went for a walk today, Tuesday to loosen up the muscles a bit. I bounced the wheel & tire on the ground a few times and then added my little air compressor. I was able to seat both beads with a good pop. I replaced the rear brake pads....

I really struggled with removing the Conti-scoot rear tire. It was so stiff that I could not get it into the drop centre. I ended up putting zip ties on the tire. It came off but I am not sure why. I also had trouble getting the Pirelli tire on. Very stiff sidewalls was the problem also. I ended up ...

I have started changing my rear tire. I got the wheel off of the Forza in the shed. I took it out into the light to check it over. The centre of the tire has worn down a lot and the side of the tire looks brand new. The wear in the centre is a little uneven but not substantially. My last Shinko (for...

I think I have forgotten how to ride my Forza. It is -1C and snowing today. I am hoping to ride on March 1. Who knows if I can? The Pirelli Diablo Rosso needs to get put on. I will wait until the shed is warmer. The wire sticking out of the Conti-scoot tire says it is time even though there is a lit...

I measured my spare pipe like gasket. It is 35.2 mm long, the inside diameter is 28 mm and the outside diameter is 34 mm with 3 mm thick walls. I would like to look to see what other machines also use this size. Maybe the quads have a similar size. The 2014 Honda Forza 300 is relatively rare scooter...

I don't know how many I have bought but I will look. I think I have bought 5 in about in about 107,000 miles. Not a lot but they are expensive for what they are, $52 CDN an ounce (17 grams for $31 Canadian $). And they are hard to get. Norway??? I have had a few muffler clamps break. I ride on grave...

I tried starting the Forza today. Started easily at 4C outside temperature. I will leave the charger on for a few weeks till it warms up. My spare muffler connection gasket arrived today from Norway. It came in an 8x12 inch box. One cubic inch part in the corner of a 144 cubic inch box. It looked so...

Well it got up to 5C, the government weather page lies big time. They promised 10C a few days ago. I tried to start the Forza in the shed. I cranked it, took a break and cranked it some more, took another break, etc The factory 2014 battery was starting to run down. I hooked up my micro solar charge...

A lot of our storm damaged highways are open again. Barely open. I would like to take a trip to see the damage and repairs. It is only 2C outside right now. I will wait until March to go see the lower elevation repairs. The high mountains will have to wait a while longer. I should start the Forza an...

Buy a CRF300 Rally and spend $3000 to upgrade the suspension and the $2000 on luggage.

A scooter makes a bad dirt bike. Been there, done that, to the Yukon.

OR just slow down.

I need a muffler joint gasket and a front brake rotor. Also rear brake pads. An air filter would be good also.

I have 100,000 miles on my bent front wheel so why replace it.

A spare belt would be wise.

Do you know of any thats electronic . ?? Appreciate ingo. thx Google search reveals all - I have no experience with any on a bike. Use the palm rest model as I pictured above for years. Simple, cheap, works great I tried the palm rest for a while, I never could get comfortable while using it. But i...

The highways are starting to open up. I have a few diabetic medical problems. I have no money these days. The insurance ran out on my scooter so it has been parked for a few weeks. Our weather has been really bad with wind and rain. It has snowed a little bit. I went out to my scooter to bring in my...

Taking a look at the news re: flooding in the lower mainland. Should get back there, buy another tractor and tridem end dump. Will be LOTS of work on road repair/rebuilding. But I won't - loving retirement !!! There was one washout that they were repairing with big rocks. Only two or three rocks to...

They are planning to get one lane each way on the Coquihalla #5. Some of it will be both directions on one side of the divided highway. That was emotionally disturbing going the wrong way in the lane going to Chilliwack. I had a friend do that in Abbotsford because she had dementia. Dangerous. It is...

Yes, I do live an interesting if not bizarre life.
