The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Congrats. I like the 125 Forza.

Mine has no headligh switch (it is mandatory in Europe to allways have the low beams on) so had no issues with the specific one like you, but the idle stop switch had been acting up last year. Opened up the switch cluster (comes apart with two screws at the bottom), removed the switch, used the magi...

For me this picture is not about Dave, but good ole' Lemmy from motorhead. RIP

During the winter I'm riding on Heidenau K66 snowtex which is a german manufactured motorcycle specific winter tire available in our sizes. It is great on snow and when damp or icy, but on cold dry surface tge Michelin city grips are hands down more confidence inspiring. I have two sets o' wheels wh...

+1 to Fish's valve check comment. I'd check that first.

Perhaps, but the new Forza will be significantly more comfortable, practical, reliable, economical and safer than your old Tiggr.

This could be overcome by using the rear gear base speed sensor as one of the pickups and mating it to an equal number slots on he front wheel. Never seen an ABS without differential wheel speed sensing. But I might be absolutely wrong, and they might base the abs unit on inertia and front rotation ...

Ummm... *I'm not a big emoji user, so dunno how to translate this to writing I'm trying to subtly ask with no offence at all*
Any reference to this claim? I have neither heard or read anything about it.

Very similar looks to the NSS 125 forza. I kinda like it, but YMMV. In this video Honda Italy's marketing comms manager says that the 125 Forza is very successful in mainly Italy and France (30.000 units sold since the launch) therefore the dealers and customers asked a new model from the 300 also. ...

Indeed, the rear disc is needed for the ABS operation. The ABS works in a way, that continously compares rear and front wheel rotation speed and on abrupt changes it releases the hydraulic pressure on the locking wheel for preprogrammed short periods to ensure that the wheel will still rotate. In sh...

The pcx is the luxury scooter in Indonesia, so price of PCX specific parts were usually quite high (compared to dirt cheap locally manufactured models based on the same global engine). So far I have seen the old pcx only manufactured in Thailand, then the LED models in Th and Vietnam, he new one hop...

nmax forum said the same thing, I could use synthetic motor oil as gear oil. I wanna try look for a dedicated gear oil, something like w90 oils. No need to and not advised. 90w gear oil is heavier than the original recommendation, and whilst probably uses specific additives for better shearing resi...

To me it seems that the new airbox leaves less room for the shock. I doubt that any aftermarket shock would exist with the small diameter of the stocker, and would be any better with such a measly shock piston size. I'd probably think bout retrofitting an earlier airbox and install a well known YSS ...

I'd start by checking the plug first. With a bad ignition the engine is loosing power, and it can foul the O2 sensor with unburnt fuel. Second would be checking valve clearances on my list. Also, the slowing down can be due to different factor than the o2 issue. A worn out drive belt and drive faces...

Check battery terminals also. Buggery efi problems are about to happen when they are loose or corroded.

First day of spring hit us with -14 deg C. Still riding, but would enjoy your Florida weather a bit more.

They will give you BBK kits with missing head gaskets, Parts that have not been check before leaving their shop. like giving you 2 intake rocker arms instead of 1 intake and 1 exhaust rocker arm and no tappet screws. Sorry to hear your misfortune with Yuminashi / Reggy Bodden. They seem to live a b...

Great to hear. For future reference, what kind of contamination was on the sensor?
As I understand it is a kind of magnetic sensor. Has it git some metal shavings on it, or the connector was the problem?

The we have one in the family and everybody loves it. I'd add to the previous comment, that besides its practicality and vert good resale value it has very low maintenance costs, and that 1.5 (our earlier version has a 1.4) engine is very economic to run even without any complicated hybrid finickyne...

For skiing it was around for 2-3 years now. http://www.wired.co.uk/article/best-augmented-reality-ski-goggles-2015-2016 And as far I know one can buy the Nuviz MC helmet hud is also available for some time. It doesnt mean there would be no demand for some competition on the market. However I would n...
