The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just slow and steady. I have ridden 10 miles on a gravel road on my old Metropolitan but I don't think I ever got over 5 mph the whole way. As others have said, be ready to shoot a leg out if you have to keep from tipping over.

Do a search on "snorkel" Here's 1 thread ... http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8068&p=112137&hilit=snorkel#p112137 I'm not sure if removing it is a good idea or not, it may have a function to prevent moisture for being injected - but I'm not sure. This is the thread,...

A while back I was reading a topic on the air flow or changing weights and happened to read that pulling a part out of the air box will make the pcx louder so others might hear you coming. There was a diagram put up showing which panel to remove in order to increase noise. Now I have done a search b...

I had a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 396, made to my specifications. I waited 2/3 months for it and just happened to be at the dealership it came in on a Saturday night after the dealer closed. I told the truck driver it was mine and had ordered it, he smiled and gave me $5 for gas and told me to not let ...

I still like maps. You have to divert your eyes off the road to check the small screen, enough time for something bad to happen.

For hand protection, this is what I built for my wife's bike, though we no longer ride in the winter. They aren't hard to make. http://www.instructables.com/id/Motorcycle-Hand-Wind-Deflectors-version-21/ I have seen that blog Mel and had forgotten about it. I will see what I can come up with. I thi...

Any dirt or metal particles in the screen? I have yet to clean my screen after 12,000 kms (1 year).[/quote] I didn't find any metal in the screen but did find a little bit of cloth fiber I would guess it came from the gloves of a factory worker putting the motor together. I'll check it again next ti...

Thanks you you, mine is 16-1/4 same measurement. I am looking for wind protection or deflection for my hands and I figured that some windshields that are wider might deflect enough wind and rain from my hands. I thought that the tall Givi windshield had such a deflection as well as being taller to d...

When I took the screen out there might have been a 1/4 teaspoon of oil that dripped out so that is why I questioned the 1 qt. when cleaning the screen. The oil is at the top of the dipstick after running it and rechecking the level so I guess all is well in the world now.....except where it isn't! T...

Go with the .8 quarts. About the only time that I have seen the entire quart used is when the engine has been taken apart. I check the screen during each oil change and it never takes a full quart. Just check it before you ride. Thanks Mel! Now I can salvage the rest of this beautiful Saturday on 2...

Ok, so I have changed my oil (first change) using Honda's recommendation and cleaned the screen. The manual says to put back .8 qt. if screen is not removed and 1 qt. if it is. I have put back in .8 qt. of oil and started it to check for leaks. none seen. I checked the dipstick after letting it set ...

Or a tall givi.

I can measure the non tall one if you want a reference point?

That would work I could compare to the Honda windshield. Thanks!

No one has a tape to measure the distance huh.

So Mel, what is the measurement from the top of your windshield to the center of the handlebars? Also I can't tell from pictures if there is an area to the sides that protects your hands from the wind when riding. A straight on picture is what I am looking for along with the height measurement.

I am wondering if it would be worth the time/expense to change out my Honda windshield for a tall Givi or other windshield. I measured mine and from the top to the handlebars to(between the 4 bolt clamps) measures 16 inches. I have noticed that some of the Givi windshields also protrude out to keep ...

[quote="Mel46"]Let me see what I have that you may not be able to see. I have a cup holder on the crossbar,

Mel, what kind of cup holder do you have and do you know where you got it?

They kept it that long you you so they could ride it and make double damn sure they had found the problem. I am not upset about the length of time they kept it. I would rather have them keep it until it is fixed than to get it and still have the same problem. Long story short, it is fixed and I have...

Great news, I guess we both lucked out this time.

Not this again... you know we have seen something similar to this recently on a 2017... still unresolved by the poster. http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7553&hilit=oil+leak Well after 30 some miles after I got it back from the dealership I checked the housing.....no leak! I gues...

So after about 3 or 4 weeks I got my ride back. I got the call yesterday from the dealership and the foreman told me I could pick it up anytime. I went today and got it home. He told me that they had replaced the 2 washers behind the fill and drain bolts on the rear axle housing with copper washers....
