The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

RideLondon wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 3:42 am Exactly as the title says. I have a 2018 PCX, which has only done 1,500 miles since its last service last November (from 4,000 miles up to 5,500). Do I still need a minor service (oil and filter), or shall I wait until I hit the suggested interval of 8,000 miles?

Many thanks.

No.

Yes I think that is your original problem

Changing the oil at 1k is excessive.

Most bikes like this end their lives by being written off through accident damage or real neglect rather than engine wear.

You are almost certainly overthinking it.

Always go WOT lol. Or add an exhaust and you wont be able to hear it.

This is good advice. In a car you would just turn the radio up...

I purchased my PCX on 8/18/21. I rode it 340 miles on county roads, through 3 thunderstorms. I started my journey in Dallas and ended in League City, TX. My total trip took 7.5 hours. When I started my journey, the odometer was at 0, and my gas mileage was avg 92mpg. I weigh 200 pounds and I can co...

My 2013 model is great and dependable, though I am about to stop riding all together due to age. Still, it has been dependable and is esay to work on. This "throw away" generation thinks that they need the newest model of something in order to get dependability, so what I am seeing on thi...

Impressive. Great write up too.

New bike? Take it to your dealer and get them to fix it

To give an idea of the strength of the Givi rack, I've lifted the scooter with it. The problem isn't what weight the rack can cope with, it's the effect of the weight on handling. Nobody seems to be listening to this. The more you put on the backbox the more it takes the weight of the front wheel. ...

Have you tried it yet.

They are generally set to high for me but you will need to see for yourself. Sit on the bike, without gloves, and see where the fingers naturally lie.

Maybe damaged not destroyed?

Well, gents and ladies: I had been shopping for an ADV150 this winter, but I put a deposit down on the first new PCX I saw advertised in my region, then waited patiently for a bunch of long weeks. When it arrived, I backed out, and a couple of days later, ordered the new Zuma instead. It arrived in...

So what are you getting next? :lol: Already got it, its one of these: https://www.transport.gov.scot/concessionary-travel/60plus-or-disabled/ :lol: Oh and I swapped my old 2010 Micra for a 2017 Fiat 500 too. :D I think its 67 in England for a bus pass :roll: My avatar is the inside of a K11. Two ye...

Perhaps this was all a typo misunderstanding (85 vs 65) and the OP is less blown away now.

So what are you getting next?

Thanks for your replies. Mel46, I did buy adjustable levers from them but they adjusted further away, not closer. Their closest setting was the same as the original ones. I asked if they had ones that adjusted closer and they told me they didn’t. You You, I think it’s once I’ve grabbed the brake le...

you you wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 4:01 pm Looks like two stroke oil to me.

Aye, it could well be.
Ah, how I miss the smell of two stroke.....

I do wind down the car window to smell it sometimes. Getting rarer

The mechanic put in Motul 7100, but I wasn't there when he poured it in to see the colour. Turns out Motul 7100 4-stroke oil is indeed red, very weird. Every day a school day. https://d23zpyj32c5wn3.cloudfront.net/images/product_descriptions/technical_data_sheets/61288/7100_4T_10W-40_%28GB%29.pdf?1...

Hi everyone, new PCX rider here. I’m loving my bike so much but having all sorts of trouble reaching the brake levers. They are so far away for my tiny hands that sometimes when I brake (especially in fast braking situations) I’m actually rolling on the throttle. Strange as reaching for the brake l...

Chances are if you ran it another 1-2k, they would self clearance. lol. Just wondering ..... have you ever experienced loose or tight valve clearances naturally correcting themselves over time? Not being critical, just curious if this can occur. My experience has been that prolonged incorrect gaps ...
