The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hey mprime, Did you happen to know what the valve specs are for the new 4 valve engine? I can't find them anywhere, but i assume they are different to the previous model that only had 2 valves? Thanks, Luke The factory service manual states that the intake is .004 and the exhaust is .009. Sorry abo...

I've been pretty happy with the Puig I ordered from Revzilla. I even bought the upper deflector, too. It's nice not having any buffeting on the freeway.

Nice looking seat! That's the same place I ordered mine from and I also chose the OEM seat pan. Absolutely no regrets!

I'll take a look at the manual when I get home unless someone else beats me to it.

Wow, weird how that the U.S. model has rear drum brakes. I don't yet have the PCX, however, I am considering it. Here in South America, it comes with disk brakes in the front and rear wheels for 2024. It's also available in 3 colors, white blue and metallic silver. Another weird thing is that the U...

Why did you replace the rear shocks so quickly? Did you uprate them?

I did the same thing with my '21. Replacing the stock shocks with YSS made for a lot smoother ride with adjustability.

Definitely cold. I always let them sit overnight before doing that job. Intake was probably at .003 which is within tolerance.

I just did mine and it was a real pain. The service manual doesn't mention to remove the storage box, but it makes things considerably easier. Also, there's a very limited amount of space with which to manipulate your feeler gauges. The valves are deep into the head. I wanted to get a set of gauges...

I was able to purchase a manual for $50 from helminc. They list a 2021 manual and I believe it's stayed the same for 2022. I started out working on old VW's many years ago. It's a lot easier now that there are really great videos on sites like YouTube. I am lucky that I'm to the point where I can fo...

I've had good experiences with Babbitt's Honda.

I run the same Puig windscreen. I liked it by itself, but combined with the Puig lip extension it's perfect. I also installed the Dr. Pulley sliders, but kept the same weight as stock. Is that the flecked white? It almost looks like a dove gray in that first pic.

I just did the 4000 mile service, myself, a few weeks ago. During the valve inspection I observed that two of the valves were a little on the tight side and had been over tightened at the dealership. Adjusting them made no perceivable difference, but I know that they are correctly set now. It's not ...

I usually run premium and try to use E0 when I can.

That's happened to me once or twice. Are you satisfied with the aim of your headlights? It's possible they need adjustment.

I bought mine from Helminc and it was $50. For a factory manual it's extremely basic.

I sure hope they do. I have a factory service manual for my '21 and it leaves a lot to be desired.

I like the Puig, but I did order the factory lip extension. I'm looking forward to seeing if it eliminates the little bit of helmet buffeting I get on the top end.

A number of us have ordered seats from Thailand and had great results. Pretty inexpensive, great quality, and lots of options including have one built on a Honda seat pan. I gave him my height and had the bucket moved back 2 inches. Shipping was a little high, but it's DHL and only took a few days t...

Anyone know what the dealer fix is? I've had it happen a number of times now and it's pretty annoying.
