Does depressing the Forza’s turn signal switch cancel it ?
Yes... Forza is press to cancel.
The current 2018-> model is also push to cancel.

Re: Valve head cover bolt broke...

It isnt a lbft, ftlb thing? Use Nms like the rest of the civilised world :lol: :lol: Good thinking, might be. Anyways, small fasteners like that need small (length) wrenches, larger stuff like torque wrenches makes for too much leverage. I also use anti-seize on almost everything. Especially when t...

Re: Cager technologies on the road in 2018 that are helping

Perhaps this should be a separate thread but, a recent cager technology I would like to see banned is auto-dip headlamps. Often these days I find they either don't detect motorbikes, or are extremely slow to react. I am increasingly having to slow right down or even stop due to idiots using these. D...

Re: got a new tool for my pcx

That's a nice one! Recently I bought a Kawasaki Corded Impact Wrench on Amazon. It was under $100 and should be fine for working on the PCX or lawnmowers and stuff. It's heavy duty. . .large. . .may have to use two hands with it. Not as nice as yours but it did come with a carry case and 4 SAE sock...

Re: Which Givi topbox?

Hi all, I am looking to buy a Givi topbox (40 Litres), but there are dozens on the website and I have no idea which is best for my PCX: https://www.givi.co.uk/products/cases I think 40L is sufficient to fit one full-face helmet (AGV K3)? Thanks. A bit late, and just for reference - Givi can supply ...

Re: Battery Tender Charging With Battery Being Enclosed

I will be returning to the US next week for a 3 week break. When I am done, I will leave the battery in my Yamaha Majesty connected to a Battery Tender. I did this last winter with the battery sitting on a shelf and it worked great. This year, I want to simply connect the pig-tail to the battery wh...

Hey Barry! Nice to hear that I'm not the only strange person that prefers the smaller stuff. ;) We're in Shoreham By Sea, so not a million miles away.

Re: Hello from West Sussex, UK

Hi Lilly and welcome. I am also from West Sussex (near Haywards Heath). I passed my big bike test as a teenager, then didn't ride for many years. I got my PCX new in 2011 for local journeys, e.g. home to & from station as part of a London commute. It has been completely reliable (so far), and I ...

Re: tucano urbano grip

Hi, I would like to ask which tucano urbano grip is suitable for Honda Pcx. Do I need one with weight end or one without? If you mean the bar muffs, it is the one for bikes without weights (even though the pcx looks like it does have them). Go to this page http://www.urbanrider.co.uk/bar-muff-selec...

Re: Tucano Urbano Termoscud

I guess it depends on the type of journeys you do. With an end to end commute, proper warm/waterproof trousers are probably best. If, like me, you use the bike to go only as far as the local railway station, the leg cover is ideal. No need to struggle putting on/removing waterproofs in an open-air c...
