The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Sunglasses are no use because you can't swap between clear and tint on the go.
Which you need to be able to do.
Pop-down sunvisor eqipped helmet is my preferred option.

You don't need to know the year for fuel, they all use the same.
First reg in Feb 2018 means likely manufactured in 2017, but not guaranteed.
Depending which country your in it could be a 2017, 2018 or 2019.
As previously stated, the VIN will tell you actual year of manufacture.

Forza is easily the best of the three for carrying a passenger.

Long trips with passenger?
Forget 125, not enough engine.
If its a Honda you're set on, get the Forza 300 or 350

You've found one of the few areas of the PCX which demands constant maintenance. The black yoke and chrome stanchions need to be rubbed over with ACF50 at least once a week, daily in winter, to stop this corrosion forming. If the stanchions corrode in the working area it can cause oil leaks through ...

Sold mine with 33,000 miles on clock, engine was running sweet like new.
Don't think the valve clearances were ever checked.

Not a fan of theme changes generally, but will doubtless get used to it in time.

I used to easily see if there were any new topics or posts under Forza 300 section, but I can't find a way to do that now, nothing PCX related interests me as I have a Forza...! Any ideas...? Before when viewing Forza 300 section could see on the right side the last post's username and date ... htt...

GN - what battery is good for the PCX and costs around £20 (before the usual looking around and reading loads of reviews)? That post you're referencing was from 2016, I can't remember stuff from last week :lol: Anywho, have had a look and found this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YTZ7-S-Q-Batteries-12...

For general public use any face covering is better than no covering.

you you wrote:Bit of a coincidence but my 1969 988 Morris Mini Cooper should be back on the road this summer after a 35 year break. Any interest in pictures?

Oh yes, very much.

Gn2 You have to to update that 4 decades on two wheels-counting the days since I first crashed on my first bicycle I am over 6 decades.

I miss the days before all the big corporate buyouts and what it said on the label was what you really got . . . for better or for worse.

You maybe don't remember the Riley Elf or the Wolseley Hornet...?

10,000 miles?! I won't even go that long in our car! Isn’t that pushing the oil to its limit? Nope its fine. My car goes 12,500 miles between changes and some cars go 20,000 miles between changes. I once went over 50,000 miles between changes in a car and did over 220,000 miles in it. Guy I sold it...

+1 on the oily rag

then.....

Find another MoT station for next year

Some BMWs are badged as Minis but real Minis are not BMWs.
There, sorted that for you.

Would seem to be Fish's term for the crankcase breather overflow tube.
The clear tube with plug which you're meant to empty every so often.
(easier to take plug out and throw it away)

Have you been guddling in the transmission?
Might have damaged the speed sensor or its wire.

Does the speedo sweep round at start-up?

Some Triumph motorcycles go 10,000 miles between oil changes.

Aye, they can be fine, but they can also fail.
