The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Nice pictures. Not a soul there. Was is really so cold that nobody dared go out?

Looks nice. The chromed parts on the variator and airfilter box catch the eye. I like it.

Fuel consumption (PCX 125), according to Spritmonitor.de (130 counts):

min 1,95; Ø 2,53; max 3,22

Under 2 litres / 100 km seems achievable if one's hand is light on the throttle. I'm getting an average of just under 3 litres / 100 km, but my hand is heavy.

I made an experiment how far the PCX 150 would go on 20 Baht. 20 Baht could buy 0.4 litre of gasoline (price per litre was 49.90). The engine stalled at 15.8 km. So I figure with my style of driving I can only reach 247 km on a tank. It gives around 40 km / litre. This way is a little inaccurate, be...

I'm all for decently sized scooters. That is, there's a limit where a two-wheeler (more so, a scooter) can grow to. 300cc seems to be a good compromise on size and power. Once I've gotten over the PCX having a center tunnel (I prefer flat floorboards), I could easily entertain the idea of buying a '...

--------------------------
Looks like it has a triangle on it -- so it's probably a hazard light button for emergency flashers.

None of the stuff I've read mentioned that.

--------------------
In the photos above there's a red kill switch button readily to be seen -- so no idle stop. For Thailand expats and Thai citizens there's one clear improvement: a halogen light bulb.

Nice pictures, thanks! It doesn't look as bulky as I thought, which is a good thing. I could see myself upgrading some time in the future. I'll just wait a while, in case any issues should arise. The Forza shares some parts (apart from the engine) with the SH300. The exhaust/silencer is one. The eng...

Just the other day I was in downtown Trat. I was a little bit frustrated about my PCX's capabilities on the open road and then I saw this. Well, at least some people are not afraid of the first scratch and I shouldn't be either. I wonder if one can squeeze a Honda Forza 300 in this spot? A PCX 150 p...

I was very frustrated yesterday, when my PCX 150 wouldn't go an indicated 100 km/h comfortably two-up. I faced a strong headwind, it rained sporadically and the road was invested with crazy cagers -- one of them trying to overtake me on the left (shoulder) when I refused to drive on the shoulder mys...

You have to ride on the shoulder? ----------------------- Yes, preferably on the shoulder or at least as far left as you can. The police can make an excuse to fine you if you don't keep left or you overtake. The law regarding two-wheelers does not make much sense anymore. It's a relic from another ...

Why so many companies were making 125cc's is beyond me. For just a bit more displacement you are freeway legal[...] -------------------- Here in Thailand, no two-wheeler -- no matter how big -- is allowed on the freeways/motorways (expressways/tollways). Years ago 200cc was the largest displacement...

I went to a friend's house in Saen Tung, a 15-minute ride from Trat City. The place was in a nice residential area, a muban as they call it (or ban chad san). Most of the houses are attached, but some big mansions belong to people who must be loaded. In this photo of my PCX and my friend's Nissan Ma...

you you wrote:Theres a cleanable mesh filter on the left side of the engine.

---------------
Much obliged -- again, thanks.

Thanks for the kind replies.

One more question... Is there an oil filter cartridge/mesh to be cleaned/replaced somewhere in the engine?

My PCX has now 1330 km on the clock. The first service -- oil change (engine/gearbox) -- was a while ago at 1006 km. The guys at SMD Motor Trat didn't do anything else. I enquired about valve adjustment, but to no avail. "Not needed now". They didn't bother to clean the air filter or even ...

I got my first bike, a Honda Nova Tena two-stroke 110cc (actually 105cc) in 1998. I was 32 at the time and living in Thailand for a while. Very soon I changed that for a Kawasaki GTO 125. I learned to ride here in Thailand. At first, I had no driver's licence, but as soon as I returned home to my na...

It looks somewhat like Honda Phantom 200. I think Daelim's earlier model was even more so (VT 125 Evolution).

I just returned back home from a short 60 km trip to Khaosaming. Yes, that's the place where I got my nick from. I must tell you, the PCX was a different bike today. She seems to be opening up. This time I took another approach. First, I dropped the missus, didn't put my little red riding hood gear ...
