The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

So I'm on 24k km now and time for valve adjustment. Not checked how much dealer here in Thailand charge for doing that (I've already done all the service, buying everything online and taking it to a local mechanic), what worries me is knowing Thais, even at dealers, rushing the panel removal and bre...

I used to easily see if there were any new topics or posts under Forza 300 section, but I can't find a way to do that now, nothing PCX related interests me as I have a Forza...! Any ideas...? Before when viewing Forza 300 section could see on the right side the last post's username and date ... htt...

Interestingly, looking at the photo closely looks like the faint pinky color is now spread across the area....! This is not very obvious looking at it with naked eye, the camera I think shows it more.... Anyway, I heard that this white panel is like $35 or $40 US dollar equivalent from Honda shop he...

So I took the bike back to mechanic, he said nothing to do with me, no break fluid was used, brake reservoir not opened, only oil lubricant and cleaning foam was used etc. ...! I looked a bit more carefully, bike on side stand parked , any drips from left handlebar falls on floor board, not on paint...

I was also struggling with scratches before, what happens is that dust and dirt and oil and dirty water and stuff get in the scratches and make it dark grey or black color, horrible on white paint - that's where maybe black or dark color is better, but I prefer visibility and it's cooler under hot s...

Forgot to say , tried WD-40, sometimes after washing I rub a bit of WD-40 on black plastic parts, so I tried it on the stain...., nothing... As I mentioned before this is not brake fluid, as far as I know, it's pink color and was used to lubricate levers out of a spray can, but it seems is just as b...

No idea really, this is Thailand so they just grab whatever grease is close at hand...!
I think I'm going back there for more investigation of brake caliper and also show him the mess he made on my side panel paint, see what they can do...

Thanks for the info, I thought you greased those clips/guides at bottom right of your image, that's where the pads sit - and I guess move (!?), I thought that is where it gets stuck, perhaps also due to deformation and/or dirt there ... !? By the way, I checked to buy new ones of those two clips, bu...

Mine are cold That's good to know, I think mine shouldn't get this hot, it's not right... I also touched the front wheel disk after 5 min riding, and after even using the front brake a few times it was not even warm. So the back brake pads are sticking as they say....! Need to find a solution, I ta...

I think mine is a gloss white, as far as I can tell....!

Well, I noticed a few days after replacing my brake pads that the mechanic had sprayed the brake levers with some cleaning agent (or for lubrication, not sure), and when parked this have dropped droplets from left handlebar on paint work near left foot panel....!? now pink stains on white paint, ter...

Ok, after 200km I think the pads have bedded in, so from cold I ran the engine on center stand for like under one minute at about 50kph, rear disk was hot but I could touch it, hold and press hard with my fingers, then would get a bit uncomfortable... Then rode it around, again from cold , for like ...

It's 30c here every day, and every day almost a perfect day for a ride, you should come and live here in Thailand, whatever pension you get you back there can have a better standard of life here than in Canada or US or Europe... Back to rear disc brake, the weather is so hot and exhaust so close if ...

Just thinking about this, to test if the rear pads stuck, no need to go for a ride, just put on stand from cold, rev a bit for 2 or 3 minutes, then stop and see if disc is hot, would that work...!? But maybe the disc normally has a slight contact with pads anyway، and that's normal, and that gets th...

Well, I have read all about this rear brake pad issue and changed it the first time at 13k km, almost worn out complete at that time.... However, kind of forgot about it and as it's not possible to see those damn pads easily unless openned, I didn't bother, thinking I would go for a full service (24...

In case you don't know Google Translate app has a camera option that you can point to any text and it translates quite well, best is to first download the Thai language in full via it's offline menu option.... Failing that try to find the manual in PDF or other formats online, then maybe a way to tr...

Here in Thailand me and my friends have occasionally forgotten our key in ignition and left it on the beach or in the mall parking even...! Bike never touched..., many people leave their expensive helmets unlocked on the seat and go away... - ones thing you got love about this place...!!! , of cours...

Well, as it's very quiet on the forum do I thought I post that I finally scrape the Forza on a curve today.... ! I've been pushing it a bit too much lately as had no idea of the limit, also the new Pirelli Angel Scooter tyres have been so good, so today passing a BMW 320, that wouldn't let me pass o...

I say totally pass, my bike 2016 had original Dunlop tires until early this year and there appeared fine cracks on it even it had almost half threads after 10k km, it was also very hard and very slippery, and skiding on occasions, I strongly recommend only buying one year old tires at most - not wor...
