The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

if my eyes are not tricking me, it's this one



it looks like this new

I can see you reached the tire's wear mark in the second pic..

Time to change..

the Fujifilm's waterproof little camera would also be perfect for this.

there are older models that are being sold cheaper as well..

Mech changed my fork oil into some heavier weighted one (20w I think) and added (not changed) spring into my front forks. Front now feels similar to my rear YSS when it comes to humps and bumps. Road feel/feedback changed as well.

It's cheaper than upgrading into some YSS fork springs too...

Update:

A new battery solved my problem.

Update: With the right tool, a long nosed vice grip, it only took 5 minutes for me to remove and change the broken stud. No heating, nor any lubrication needed.. Thanks to @Springer1 for the advice 109994306_3479386395427602_8514831910715315294_o.jpg 110259036_3479386782094230_6231885967619419746_o....

Now, it starting to rain here in Thailand. Idiots riders and drivers + wet roads. Be alert all the time.

Riding in BANGKOK

Mostly straight "boring" roads..

I need a change of scenery

Forza 350 = $5500
Forza 300 Y2018-2019 = $5350 (used $3800 approx)
Older Forza 300 (used $2000 approx)

I was almost tempted to buy the older Forza, but now it feels like so antiquated.

They probably did this as the Forza 300 was a flop against the Xmax.

Does this mean Honda will stop producing the 300?

Can't wait to see cheap used 300's on the marketplace.

In Thailand, only the front brake is ABS. I'll pass. u

Thanks for the tip. I will try to pull it out with the right tools first to see how it is, then heating it up might be an option if it proves to be difficult.

Vicegrip

I heard you the first time, but I don't own a vicegrip at the moment.

Fortunately for me, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

There might be just enough space to do what Youyou suggested.

Thanks for the tip especially about the "Kroil" spray. I can't find it here in Thailand but I'm sure there are other alternative brands of penetrating oil here.

I'm crossing my fingers that there's just some parts left for me to grip with a pliers or something..

studbolt.jpg Untitled.png Don't know how I did it but I did, I broke one of the stud bolt (#16 on photo) connecting the exhaust to the cylinder head. Probably over tightened it and it just broke. :roll: That was a few months ago when I changed my rear brake's shoes but the other bolt left held the ...

Might not be just the rollers. Sounds like the entire variator was changed into an aftermarket one where topend is the priority. Plenty of aftermarket variator sold here in Thailand and Thais love them as they love to WOT in the highway.

I'll go to Honda and tell them you want OEM parts in there.

By a mile. stock shocks bottoms a lot.

Preload is adjustable.

Thanks Old Grinner.

Yeah, no snow just 100 deg F heat and 80% humidity to deal with..

But as usual we carry on. LOL
