Re: Fuel pump recall woes

It turns out the parts guy didn’t order a new O ring. Mechanic tried to re-use the 6 year old one that was on the pump.

Re: Fuel pump recall woes

This is what it looked like the next day after getting it home from dealer.
Sent it back and just as I suspected, their parts department forgot to order the gasket (O ring), so the mechanic tried to re-use 8 year old gasket.

Fuel pump recall woes

After riding my Forza 40 miles to a Honda dealer to have the recall done, they forgot to order the part. They did agree to pick it up at my house when the parts came in a couple weeks later. I was a little concerned after all the lousy service work I’ve experienced lately, just in general with bike ...

PCX Body Parts

I’m considering buying a 2020 PCX with some body damage. Unlike the Forza, I haven’t found body parts online.

Does anyone know of a source for body parts for USA?

After putting about 400 miles on it (it hadn’t been driven in the last year), the sound has stopped.

Re: PCX150 fuel pump issue

Does the PCX 150 have a fuel tilt switch, that cuts off fuel, when the scooter falls over? Seems that I vaguely recall this on the Forza as a fire safety device. If the scooter was ever layed over, that switch may have activated. Don’t know what it takes to re-set.

Does that LIPO require a special charger?

Re: draining the fuel tank

Sounds like you are on the right track. Check the easiest first, spark, fuel, timing. If it sat a while, I would suspect bad fuel.

Brake light bulb type

Yep, owners manual only gives voltage. I want to put in flashing brake light bulbs, but don’t know the base type. Anyone here know if it is an 1157 or…….?

Don’t want to remove the lense, till I have the new ones.

Surging at hiway speeds

i’ve been noticing that the scoot seems to be surging a little at over 50 mph. It’s not jerky, but definitely noticeable. Fuel tank looks clean inside (what I can see). I’ve runs only ethanol free gas i. it. Ran some injector cleaner in the gas last week. Oh the tach looks steady..not seeing an rpm ...

Biker Bitz Old Stock

Got a drive belt delivered from Biker Bitz, There is a date on the label that says 7/23. Do you think that is some kind of expiration date?
It is a Honda OEM belt in Honda package

It feels pretty stiff.

Re: Drive belt service and …..

Thanks Dave. I’m ordering Honda belt from Thailand. Suppliers here in the States are triple the price. So, other than snapping, how can you tell when. belt should be replaced, by looking at it? There were no markings inside the drive case to indicate a record of the belt ever being changed. Oh yeah,...

Re: Drive belt torque settings?

I had a belt snap yesterday? I think it did. A neighbour helped me get the fat pig home. Hard for two old guys to get it into my Dodge 4x4. Truck boxes aren't as long as they used to be. I need a recovery day and then I pull it apart. Did you get it changed? Where did you get the replacement belt? ...

Drive belt service and …..

Recently purchased Forza 300 with 20,000 miles. No service history, so gonna change the drive belt. What is the wisdom of replacing rollers or clutch pads? Also, other than Honda brand belt from Thailand (Biker blitz), anyone have experience with Kevlar belts on amazon? What is the size of this belt?

Wheel Bearings


Where do you all buy front wheel bearings…and how do you tell which version is installed on you scoot. Honda parts diagram shows 2 model numbers.
