The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Stabil isn't what it used to be. I've switched to SeaFoam which also cleans the injectors, and haven't had any problems. Started right up in the spring after winter storage.

I read that the additional current drawn by a 12v charger is too much to simply tack on to the lights and that a relay should be used in conjunction with a direct line to the battery to avoid damage. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? A relay allows you to switch on and off a high power/draw ci...

I just bought a set of YSS Z series rear shocks and had the same dilemma - which size to get? I sent an email to the vendor and they asked me how much I weighed and did I primarily ride alone or with a passenger. In my case (160 lbs. and ride alone) they recommended the XL size. It seems XXL is for ...

Took a little over 2 weeks for mine to arrive and I'm on the east coast. Now if only the weather would warm up so I can put them on...

Another good option is Plexus. It's the only coating approved for use on stealth bomber plastic windshields

Make sure your final drive oil is full. Take off the fill bolt and squirt the right oil into the hole until it starts to dribble out, and then replace the bolt and washer (properly torqued).

Have you succeeded in replacing the spark plug so far? I'm also interested in doing this, not because I feel something going on, but I see in the manual it's recommended to change it every 8000 km :( Not yet. I'm waiting for warmer weather so it will be easier to take off all the plastic panels wit...

Looks like auto-correct at work...

I've driven the entire BRP and Skyline Drive on a Honda CX500, a Miata, and with my CX5 towing my teardrop trailer. It's a wonderful road but I don't think I'd like to try the whole thing on a PCX. Often very windy, quickly changing weather, and lots of ups and downs. Day trips on short sections wou...

Good idea! I'll give it a try after the impending snow storm (here in New England)...

You should be able to use an extension on the ratchet to make unscrewing easier. Once the spark plug is loose, there is a 'spider' (my tree for it) that you can use to grab the head of the spark plug and pull it out far enough for you to grab it. If you are using a spark plug socket, most come with...

I wouldn't put anything on the threads Why? It's pretty standard procedure with aluminum engine blocks where the metal of the block is different than the metal of the plug. It makes removing the plug later much easier and without ruining the threads in the engine block. Anti-sieze usually requires ...

I'm having a devil of a time getting the spark plug out to replace it with a new one. I've removed the access door and pulled off the spark plug cable. Problem #1 is the that angle of the plug relative to the door is such that it is difficult to get a plug socket on it, and #2 when unscrewing the pl...

I'm getting one of these: http://vololights.com/

Thanks - I'll have to look for it...

there is a lower clip that the silver ring mounts over (a lip).
>> You maybe missing that part?

It's where the other end of the strap attaches to I'm asking about, which you can't see in your picture.

Mel46 wrote:Two tones? How would you hook those up so that you could use either tone?

You want both tones together, not one or the other. The dissonance of the two notes gets people's attention as much as the loudness.

FWIF I've put this air horn in a couple of my Miatas over the years. The failure rate people were seeing after a while seemed a bit high so I switched using to Fiamm freeway blaster horns (I think they were called). They were just as loud (you need both the high and low note horns), less expensive, ...

A related battery question: what does the top of the rubber strap that holds the battery in attach to? I can't find anything in the top of the compartment the rectangular metal ring might attach to.

Thanks.

Thanks for the photos. Was there any effort required to remove the OEM bumpers? I worried about breaking or ruining them if i tried to pull them out. Did you use a screwdriver or pliers? Or do they just pull out using your fingers? IIRC I think I just pulled them out with my fingers while twisting ...
