The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the purpose of having this giant scarlet letter on your windshield? "L" is for Learner permit (or something like that). It is a designation in the UK for riders without a full license. I believe it is needed on cars as well. Interesting - s...

Does anyone know how long the 'Oil Change Light' will remain on if I don't change the oil?

I did my first oil change before the required 1,000 km's, now that I have just hit 1,000 km the light has come on.

Mine usually charges around £120 and provides a loan bike.

120 quid for the first 1,000 km service, which is basically an oil/filter change?
And why would you need a loan bike

Mine cost about $40 and was finished in about an hour.

Took a short ride this afternoon/evening.
Only got the one picture and it is not very good as sun was nearly down.

Looks good.
Have you ridden it with a passenger, doesn't look like too much room?

Where's the pics

Quite a few types of scooters here have one shock, but they were designed that way.
The PCX was designed with two, I doubt the swingarm is designed strong enough for one shock.

Does the seat allow you to sit much further back than the original?

I live in Thailand now, which has about one fifth of the population of the United States, and we average about 45 motor bike deaths per day

I now own a PCX150 and a Forza 300, and have had a PCX125. I am an inch or two shorter than you but weigh quite a bit more and think the 150 would be much better than the 125 for you. However for me the Forza is much more fun with the extra power. It is a bit cramped but I have gotten used to this f...

Try these guys. Their shop in on Soi Buakhao. Also you should be able to go into any Honda shop for panels and fitting.

Did she have an accident?

Not that I saw.

Before moving to Thailand, I would have said multiple people on a scooter. However, now seeing three to five people on a scooter, including kids standing up and people holding new born babies is common place. All with no helmets. Yesterday I saw a women riding with two kids about 3-4 years old, one ...

Don't let the passenger sit side saddle until you are comfortable with the normal passenger position.

Squeeze the break harder. When I first got my Forza I had problems with not starting. I was used to the gentle squeeze required on a PCX. My problem was solved by applying a firm squeeze, as if you are trying to stop the bike when riding.

Looks like the same blue which is available for the 2016 Forza in Thailand, it was my 2nd choice for colour.

The 150 is a fun bike to ride, I think it is a much better option than the MSX125 (grom), unless you are a kid :D I didn't realise how much more expensive the scooters were in the US, compared to here in Thailand. o_O Here a 2016 PCX 150 is about US$2,300 (at current exchange rate), and I recently ...

Factory colour here in Thailand. Also comes in white, matt black, orange and blue.

Here is my "lemon ice" yellow Forza. Looks more green in this light, but good road visibility.
