Re: Do I have to use MB oil?

Appreciate all the answers. I bought the Forza new (2014 model sitting at the dealership for several years), and I believe it came with regular oil. So after the initial 600 mile interval, I'll change it to full synthetic, right? The dealer said they didn't carry the MB oil because nobody around her...

Do I have to use MB oil?

Cycle shop only sells Honda 10W-30 MA oil for wet clutch motorcycles. The manual says to use MB since, I'm assuming, the Forza has a dry clutch. Does it make a difference and can I also just use full synthetic Mobil 1 10W-30 automobile oil? This will be my first oil change after the 600 mile break-in.

Re: PCX the USA from one end to the other anyone?

Just to add to my previous post: Took make a very long story short, when I finished my scooter trip in New Zealand, I went to India. Reason was because I had regrettably skipped that country during my world bicycle trip and had a chance to go back with a super low air-fare. I got tired of backpackin...

Re: PCX the USA from one end to the other anyone?

A little background: The first time I ever rode a scooter was in New Zealand in 2015, during the middle of my round-the-world bicycle trip. I'd been burned out from cycling, but I still wanted to see New Zealand on two-wheels, so I bought a used 50cc scooter. I got all kinds of chuckles from motorcy...

I've always wondered where people who live in paradise go for vacation. So I looked it up and it seems Hawaiians go to Vegas a lot.

Re: 2017 PCX 150 Windshield Windscreen What do you use in U.

I installed the National Cycle Touring shield a few days ago. It comes up to the chin, and I kind of wished I bought the Tall version even though I'm only 5'6". It blocks some hand wind, which I welcome. The helmet noise is a bit louder, but if you ride with a tuck and right up to the windshiel...

Re: battery replacement interval

When I bought the used scooter at the dealership, it wouldn't start and they had to jump start it. It hasn't given me any problems since. What are the signs of a dying battery besides not being able to start right away? Lights dimming? Noob here.

I actually once held the world record on the Twilight Zone pinball machine (yes, we actually keep records). I'm also trying to complete the entire eskimo roll skill set on my sea kayak.

Re: what are the differences between the 2015,16,17,18 model

The SMAX’s seat height was way too high for me. Plus it felt wider than the PCX, which made tippy toeing almost impossible. I had to stand up at every stop to stabilize the scooter. But the rest of the scooter was nice. The drivetrain was incredibly smooth. I actually loved the Piaggio Beverly. But ...

Re: What's your other hobby...

One reason I got the Sony MX100 is because it had a one inch sensor, which was unheard of in a pocket-sized camera. I thought "that's great!" even though I didn't have a clue what that meant (I still don't). If I had gotten a nice DSLR and set it to Automatic, will I still have gotten that...

Re: My driver's license test on the PCX

It doesn't come with those dots (whatever they're called) on the ends of the visor where the pinlock attaches. I have to get a new pinlock-ready visor. I still would've gotten the Qwest, but come on, some cheapo $100 helmets have those dots. I'm short but have this big fat pumpkin head. I had to ord...

Here's a bit more detail on what happened. After I said hello and he refused my handshake, he explained to me that under no circumstances was I allowed to open the visor.
