The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

My 2018 can probably hit 100... if tied down in the bed of my Ridgeline... still Honda powered, tho, right?

Seriously, though, was that 85 downhill or drafting?

That's why my 2018 got upgraded. Never liked the stock ones.

If its like the the Silverwing yes, but it's pretty ugly under there.

I'm curious too. My older Forza was easy because it has exposed handlebar bolts, but my Silverwing has a cover like the new Forza.

Struggled with the same thing. Had the PCX for town stuff and a Silverwing for the faster/longer stuff and then found a NOS Forza at a dealership. Wound up buying the Forza in addition to the other 2. The Forza is my go-to bike now (better commuter because I can fit my work laptop under the seat), b...

No idea where I got the idea the Grom was 4 valve, but you're absolutely correct. Also, it's interesting that the PCX125 has that tech and the 150 doesn't. Cost saving?

I think the Grom/Cub/Monkey 125 uses a 4 valve head. Wonder if that's where the tech is coming from.

Just over 700 miles on the Forza now, it's become my go-to bike over the PCX. Better storage than the SilverWing or PCX, plenty of in-town power. I go to my happy place pretty much every time I hop on. I'm seriously considering selling the shifty bikes since I don't really feel much like riding them...

thanks jburner... I have that same screen waiting to go on.. maybe I'll put some tape or weatherstrip on to start with.

What windshield did you get?

I don't have experience with that exact system, but I put a similar one on my old Ninja.. the preload allows you to adjust the sag settings, while the valves allow adjustment of the damping forces on the front end. Ever ridden in or seen a car with blown shocks? That bounciness is a lack of damping....

My understanding is that red is the absolute worse color to try to match, and that's why it can be difficult to find.

should be able to get different bars if you prefer wider, taller etc. Only major consideration I can think of is cable/brake line length

One of the forums mentions that the S has a different gasket, and looking closely at the pics I think I can confirm that. https://fz07.org/thread/8818/spark-plug-ngk-lmar8a-9s/ "The one with the part number which ends with an S actually has a special gasket on it. It is made for a specific Hond...

Wow.. I thought my last gen PCX was doing well at 106mpg! I do have to run full throttle a lot thanks to US traffic that thinks it's a race to every red light.

I've never noticed the backlight on the odometer/mpg screen dimming or going off, so I'm guessing you have an issue there.

I ordered the Givi screen for mine, I'll be interested in seeing how the Ermax one looks vs the Givi

I suspect that weight limit is so Honda can simply shrug at you when you 'overload' it and something breaks.
