The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

It seems to me that what you're really wanting is validation of your proposal. I'm coming up on 52,000 miles on my PCX - many of them spent at WOT - and I've had regular oil changes at twice the book interval. As alluded to by most, it's just the wrong tool for the job. Period. Not even close. You'l...

I used to hold rear brakes hard down, then hold throttle wide open for about 2 to 5 seconds. That makes it very smooth. This is the correct answer. Just to clarify for others, need to hold the RIGHT brake lever, which is rather convenient since your right hand will be on throttle. I prefer to upgra...

Coming up on 81,000km. Last changed at 33,000km - so 48,000km on this set.

Not so, often been quoted by people suffering this condition on this forum. The issue is brought about by being too gentle at take-off for long periods. Yes, the problem will come back if you go easy off the start line to frequently, but the suggestion does normally provide a fix over a couple of d...

I agree - you're not an expert.

Local Honda dealer advised;- Give it a couple ''hard'' accelerations from a standstill to de-glaze the clutch plates /shoes And when - oops, I mean if - that doesn't work then "bring it in to us to take a (chargable) look at"? I suspect that "a couple of hard accelerations" is a...

Hi I have a 2016 PCX 150 with 15000 kms and the clutch is shuddering quite a bit. It improves a little when the bike warms up, but it still seems to be pretty rough compared to my previous 2014 PCX. Is this normal? If so, can it be improved? Thanks, Noel I chased my tail with this for a while and i...

Unless somethings changed with later models, they don't have an oil filter -- only a strainer (which can be easily accessed during an oil change but doesn't get replaced). I used to check mine "more frequently" but it's never had anything more than the odd speck of something - so these day...

46k miles 2012/13 pcx just bought a forza but the pcx is engine sounds like its still ticking over like it did day 1 Everything stock? no rebuilds whatsoever? Which oil are you using specially for winter? greetings! If it helps, my 2013/2014 is at 80,000km (50,000 miles) - everything stock - no reb...

After my first dealer oil change I switched to full synthetic oil. With synthetic oil you can expect less wear on the engine, and changing the oil at 4,000 miles is still considered early (the recommended change cycle for all synthetic oil is 7,500 miles). I have done this with every bike I have ow...

My PCX is at 80,000km and running fine. I do oil changes every 4000km.

I experience exactly the same at 30 000 km. My commute is 25 kms, 20 of it at WOT (90km/h road but everyone goes around 110 so to keep up I just am at WOT all the time). I check the oil level on a weekly basis and top of when needed. On average now around 100ml / 500km but I am not concerned about ...

Like I've said before, at least it's observable on your dipstick that the oil level fluctuates, between the high and low marks. I repeat, on my bike, that doesn't happen at all. It's always above the high mark. That's the difference. From where I'm sitting there aren't many possibilities, either; 1...

The reason why it appears to you that I over-think about this issue is because since February this year when I started this thread until now, no one has any clue as to why this phenomenon is happening to my bike. The mechanics have no idea, neither does anyone on this forum know either. I can't say...

As someone who's done quite a lot of long-distance riding on my PCX I'm in agreement with most of what's been written above. In short: Will it do it? Yep. Is it the best tool for the job? Nope. If you already owned one and wanted to make that kind of journey occasionally then I'd say "go for it...

Honestly, you're over-thinking this FAR too much. Mine does exactly the same thing. My bike is up to 50,000 miles now and burns a bit of oil between changes (which I do myself). When you do a change drain everything out - rock it on the centre stand - put in 800ml - and don't even bother checking it...

My dealer recently changed my front tyre and noted that my front disk pads were worn out and that there was corrosion on the pistons - and estimated USD equivalent of $145 to $200 to "make the problem go away". From past experience I'm somewhat weary of them; I'd stop short of calling them...

I don't want this to turn into a pissing contest, so I'll just leave it by saying that you might like to revisit the excellent site that you linked to in your first post (thanks for that by the way) - it pretty much hits all the points I made; - Lack of indoor ventilation is the big one - In a poorl...

If two people are wearing masks and standing six feet apart they cannot infect each other. Unfortunately that's just not the case. If the breath makes if out of the mask then the virus makes it out with it; one doesn't breath humid air into one side of a mask and have it come out the other side wit...

Coasting - I agree 100%. You just Gotta stay away from everybody except the people you know in your family that are not infected. Have your food delivered, use fast food and prescription drug windows when you can, and just stay away… There is no other way to be more sure than this. Agreed. Just ima...
