The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hey Dole, I recently read that no amount of riding can fully charge your battery, and that riding will only maintain it. The alternator (idle/stop hybrid motor) should be able to keep the battey in top condition even if the idle-stop is used as the ECU is supposed to diable idle-stop if the battery...

I would start with the bike battery. If it has a bad cell it will work sometimes and at other times it won't. While you are riding it is charging, but once you stop riding it starts draining. That is the nature of batteries. If it has a bad cell it will not charge that cell, so it will already have...

My PCX is only 100 mileage. This problem occurred 4 times. Last night was the worst, no matter how madly I tackled it, the PCX just wouldn't wake up. I tested it again just now, first, same old symptom, turn the switch to ignition, went dead. I walked away and back in 2 minutes, pust down, light on,...

I stopped for a beverage on my way home, and was never able to wake it up. have to push it all the way home, real pain. The start system just won't respond. move it a few yards no response, let move it still no response. the PCX is brand new with only 150km, press the remote, lights on showing batte...

What is the penalty for illegally owning the PCX scooter..? How does one get tags for it without getting caught ? Most PCX owners here will do the fake license plate, not 100% fake, because they use the plate numbers from other scooters for PCX. It is a complicated process. The police usually keep ...

Possibly the best mid-end scooter you will get in China. This bike is technically illegal in China, but still a lot of buyers. Smuggled from Mekong to border city then sold to around the country. One PCX owener said "illegal, but my passion makes it "legal" ". My guess is that t...

Simply put, PCX is not for sale in China, therefore, you won't be able to give it a license number.

It is warm here south china, approaching the coldest spell of a year, reaching 3C lowest... usually 20C year round.

I check as per the manual. same as you said, thank you.

#3. The engine oil light may be coming on because your oil level is low. Put your pcx on its center stand when checking your oil. Take the dip stick out and wipe it off. Then insert it back in without screwing it in. Check the front side of it. The oil should be within the high and low marks. Thank...

alx123 wrote:#2 just use the honda oil. esp if your scooter is new and still under break in..

OK, Sir. Thanks.

In answer to #1 .... Pulling the left lever activates the CBS. I am forgetting the percentage of distribution between back and front brakes. What I have found with mine is that there is a significant difference between using just the rear lever and both levers. Thank you for your indepth informatio...

Could you kindly advise me of: 1. If I only pull the left hand, i.e. rear break, does the Combined Break System take effect? as I have the habbit of using only rear break cos the front break is where the throttle is... busy hand... 2. What motor oil do you gents use? any recommendations? It seems MB...

my 2016 pcx150 makes the same noise. There seems to be a rattle at certain speeds. Is yours similar, it sounds like its a rod knock Absolutely, Mike, it is the knocking sound as you described, which is more precise than rattling... it happens when I accelerate from 30-60km/h. Just hope it will go a...

Thank you.

I just got my 2016 PCX last night... Everything feels good except when I speed up where I can hear the rattling noise from engine. After reaching around 50-60 km/h, the rattling seems to disappear and the entire scooter sounds very smoothe... Is it normal for PCX, do you guys have the similar exper...
