The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

My insurance was a whopping £430 fully comp for my pcx. Im the wrong side of 40 and maximum ncb on the car but as a learner in the insurers eyes on a scoot they hammered me. I swallowed it as i saved it in fuel and commuting costs compared with a car.I hoping this years is a little lighter on the wa...

Sorry to hear about the theft but at least the insurers came through.This is the reason every time i leave my pcx when im out or at work its attached to something with the almax.I often drive around a bit just to find a post to attach it to.Itss easy to lift into a van and off then to deal with the ...

Even though i dont always enjoy riding my pcx with so many idiots sharing the roads i dont think i could could ever go back to commuting in a car.The fuel economy and speed through traffic is a winner for me.Only the other saturday i needed to pop out for something but the thought of sitting in traf...

Glad i read this thread as its something ive done on one particular mini roundabout near my house a few times now.Not done it since i now take the turn like an old granny.

Im surprised no one has come up with an electronic work around on the limiter yet.Cars have remap options soit sohuldnt be too hard on these i reckon.I suppose its probably not easy to to mod and make money from it at a reasonable price.

Ring around your local auto locksmiths as their prices should be cheaper than a dealer.

Well im just coming to the end of the next tank and its already done more miles than normal for a tank.I always fill it up the same so its incredible really.Would love to know what they have done as im still riding it the same but getting better fuel economy which i cant complain at. Just to add whe...

Ok bit of a weird post this one.My fue leconomy has just rocketed up since ive had my 2500 mile service.Just had 129 mpg on the last fill up ! The only thing ive done different is ride a little bit slower on a route i have done loads of times before.What could they have done on the service to make a...

Handlebar muff have to be one of those must haves for the really cold weather.Since fitting mine i honestly dont think i could ride another scoooter without them unless its summer.They also have the added advantage of keeping your gloves dry when it raining.

Mine is the givi e370 39L topbox.In it i can store my armoured jacket and trousers.Bearing in mind these are fully thermal lined with hip,knee,shoulder,elbow and back protectors it shows how much you can get in one topbox.It doesnt make any difference to how the scoot handle imho. I love the fact i ...

Well had a few phones over the years and reckon the iphone4 i currently have is definately the best of the bunch for my needs.Camera is ok but i have an slr if i need wow photos.The biggest thing for me is the apps i use everyday. I only got this phone as a free upgrade and never had anything apple ...

Mine has dropped with the cooler weather too.Coldest ive been out is -3 boy do i appreciate those tucano urbano handlebar muffs when its that cold !! That was working lates a couple of weeks ago, the wind chill is the real killer as its probably a lot less than -3 when you get some speed up. Tbh ive...

I have now placed a order for the GIVI E370 topbox with the rear plate kit, but also added the GIVI E108 Stop Light Kit which the E370 supports. Sounds like I'm going to have some fun fitting this xD If you are fitting the stop light kit may i suggest you fit extra leds underneath the red reflector...

ask yourself, have i been sitting on the bike while it is on the center stand? have i rocked back and forth to roll forward off the stand while sitting on the seat?had a passenger on the back while doing these procedure's? i've been a owner rider for 50 years and the quoted procedure's are no-no's....

Ive got other commitments on sunday and im also new to this scootering lark but enjoying it somewhat.I use mine most days and was commuting to victoria last autumn most days. I filter quite a bit now but some days i just sit with the cars if my sixth sense tells me too.Ive been driving 25 years so g...

Oi watch it that black pcx could be mine as im in bexley too !! ive been doing the A2 the past week and others days over croydon not been up new cross way since november it think.

Considering im not using the stop start function and carry a heavy almax chain eveywhere im still getting 100 mpg average.Not bad considering its all stop start city commuting. Now something worth bearing in mind is that i broke the scooter in by really giving it some for the first 20-30 miles NOT f...

Im with gn2 on the riding position hence why i reupholstered my seat.Sure my mods to the seat have ruined the clean lines of the pcx but boy is that seat comfortable. I can sit wherever i want now and the extra foam means it is like sitting on a sofa everyday on the way to work.

I am posting this link but please be warned its EXTREMELY GRAPHIC but is the reason i wear fully armoured trousers,jacket and gloves for every trip on my pcx.
