The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

You're pleased you found someone as ignorant about maint as you? I'm well aware of what should be done regarding maintenance, but have found from years of experience that what suits me best is to leave things alone as much as possible. 99.99% of owners never open the bonnet of a car for anything ot...

I am with Lexham, cost me nearly £350 quid for the year fully comprehensive, £350 compulsory excess. I have driving experience of 24 years but just began riding with a CBT and no experience. Not sure if this is normal but had to accept it as it was the lowest. TPF&T was mega cheap at less than £...

There is no chain to check people except the timing one which you will not see until you do your valve check and it requires no maintenance to my knowledge. There is a belt and it requires no adjustment either. You guys can get service manuals if you want. Very helpful to have one, about 50 bucks h...

OK so, I have added some distilled water which I was robbed for at Halfords. I have had the PCX for less than 2 weeks. I have no maintenance skills so what has caused the water to drop? Use? High speeds? Did the dealer not fill it up correctly? If you've got nice soft tap water just use that. It's ...

I feel very proud to have not need L plates as I have a full unlimited licence. But at time I feel very broke too to only be able to afford to ride a 125 in the city. Lol No shame in that I think. I won't be able to afford anything else so I will keep my PCX as long as possible. I love it anyways! :P

Hi there Gagazman, Guessing you may have changed tyres by this stage? Any thoughts on make for a good mix of grip / longevity? Regards, Neil Nope not changed tyres Yet! Got 280 miles on the clock. Tyres still look OK with hardly any drop in pressure. Had to top up with distilled water, blooming awk...

Hi all. Finally took the plunge and got a new black PCX125. Done 90 miles in 2 days and looking forward to my 3 day commute, 20 miles each way. WELCOME! break in is only 300 miles, you should be sailing over that any day. Consider your warranty demands at 600, make the decision to do it yourself or...

Yes there is still one.

I have a question regarding coolant, as a newbie. Can I do top ups using distilled water? Or do I have to buy the ready mixed stuff to top up?

Also, can you mix brands or do you have to flush it out? Thanks in advance guys

Mine is on the forks on the front, thought this was the legal requirement as dealers put them on for me. Never mind. Hopefully not long before I lose the 'loony plates'

I hope you're being facetious. Nope. I don't check tyres unless they start to look or feel soft. Checking them lets air out. If you don't check them the air stays in. Other things I never check: oil level, coolant level, spark plug gap. TBH I just don't do maintenance, I bought it to ride it, not f...

Welcome! My guess is the lake district of northwest England. Yes, sorry guys :oops: ! I am in the North West UK and have changed my profile accordingly..... Wow, Cumbria.

I don't know, is it? I did wonder but I am taking it easy and am not a fast rider anyways.

Welcome! My guess is the lake district of northwest England. Yes, sorry guys :oops: ! I am in the North West UK and have changed my profile accordingly. 2 days in, commute wise, and the PCX is performing well. The hills are a blast to go up as well as down. :D As for maintenance, I am no good and j...

Hi all. Finally took the plunge and got a new black PCX125. Done 90 miles in 2 days and looking forward to my 3 day commute, 20 miles each way. Living in the Lakes there are many hills and I have 2 major ones to climb on the way there and 2 on the way back, so looking forward to seeing how it perfor...
