The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

If you really mean 50 kilometres per hour, and that's not a typo, that's no problem at all. Even stock, really... The stock variator is best for low gearing. Just add some 11-12g sliders if you have a 150cc, maybe 10g if it's a 125cc. If that's not enough you can get a KN Planning HD clutch from Web...

150kph is around 90mph or more. That PCX has got some mods...

I think I would just buy a flatter riser with less sweep angle that still clears the dash with brake levers and cables. A black riser, black Forza collar and mounting blocks. Sounds like a good combo that can still mount accessories. Good luck with modding this, I can't wait to see how it works out ...

The OWL doesn't need power to open the seat.

Also, cold bottles of water under the seat quickly become warm bottles of water after so long...

Update: It's been 3 weeks since the crash, and I'm back at work full time this week. I can't wait for this raise in 6 weeks, I hope it's a good one! My buddy said he was going to come around yesterday and look under the scooter, but he decided to help his neighbour instead, and hurt himself doing so...

Let's hear what the experts have to say shall we? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMTuFcZAvIM :geek: Oh no, Mexican robots trying to teach me how to pronounce vague American words. :? I'm still torn between "Horse pipe" and "Whore's pipe". And what do either of them need with a ...

Errr, what? I didn't learn this word in Murica school back in 82.
How do you even say it??? Horse pipe, House pipe, Whore's pipe?

As a ballpark, I found 21mm or almost 7/8" to work OK for me. And funnily enough I've seen other people recommend that much pre-load, too. Because my pre-load is adjusted from the bottom I don't have to remove stuff, but I can only do tiny 1/8 turns at a time, so it takes a while... I might be ...

If you're crafty with small delicate petite hands/wrists (Asian), you can get away with just removing the grab rail and lifting the back of the bin. I am not blessed with such qualities, so I take the whole seat storage bucket/bin thing out, but leave all the side panels on (for the OWL anyway). Hom...

Don't tell the dealer you removed the oil level check bolt on the transfer case. The bad dealers use that as an out...
Just say you've observed the leak, and it comes back after cleaning, and have noticed the level dropping on the dipstick.

After reading that and trying my dads AGV K3 today it seems its totally hit and miss ov er what helmets will fit. So i've cracked and bought a Givi top box. This is after me swearing blind i'd never put one on a bike...times change! It changes the riding character of your bike. Not in a good way, e...

Now you're talking! BRB, gotta get me some friends...

Since it might be her last meaningful Mother's Day, I took mummy dearest on a nice long drive down to Coolangatta to look at the ocean from the cliffs. That's quite a nice change from living near the bush/forest/woods. I think I might be doing a few more day trips like that before she ends up in a n...

Don't forget to factor in the cost of a concrete slab to sit it on.

W, X and Y?

No idea sorry, find the specs and compare, look at the prices and make a choice.
Also, YSS are half the price of NCY, so it's up to you if you want to wait or not...

Since the new model was called the LED, I coined the term OWL for the older PCX because the headlight assembly looks like an owl's face.
I've recently started calling the US version of the OWL the SNAIL because of its antennas and being so slow compared to the AU version.

grndslm wrote:I definitely noticed that the rear shocks could use some improvement....

What's the model # on these?

The best value shocks are YSS Z series without the oil reservoirs.
PCXdemon and I have both had our YSS G-Euro shocks leak...
The newer G-Plus shocks with the reservoir at the top may not leak?

My Daytona variator with Advance Pro drive face adds more than 20kph top speed on the centre stand (152kph).
I don't benefit from any of that on the road because my stock variator is already faster than wind resistance allows...

The collar at the top is the same as coilovers for a car, they let you adjust the length of the shock so you can raise/lower the bike a bit. In turn ,it adjusts the preload of the spring at the same time. They won't change the stroke length, they just increase the compression (pre-load) on the spri...
