The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

You need protection for your fingers [rubber glove, or strip of rubber to get a decent grip. That first one is real tight....... as you noticed.
Just now went out and removed mine to verify that it comes out just like a screw. [c clockwise] protect fingers....... and you'll get it out.

Mine was made there also (Thailand) I Should have said C. clockwise if you are looking from the riders seat , forward.
If looking at the bulb from in front of the scooter,[through the glass] then clockwise. [removed it just now to double check]

The bulb comes out as a screw would come out. (c. clockwise] Some rubber gloves or a strip of tire tube wrapped will protect your fingers and give you
better results. Had the same issue as you.............perseverance will get you there. Need that protection for the fingers though.

Have had similar issues with my PCX . Your last post [ 150 PCXER] proves the readings are bogus. Wish Honda would go to the " oil window"

One more thing........[Peter Faulk moment] On the 2013 PCX.......The removal of the under step body part isn't necessary, if you have a i/4 inch
ratchet. with proper socket. That one hidden bolt is accessible .

Thanks again for an excellent tutorial! Do you bother with any lube for rollers/boss? [graphite powder or something else]? Thanks.

Man! You guys are old! Yeah........me too : ) Hope you can hang in there Mel ......and everyone else.....as long as you have some good days. Another month [just about here] and my odometer turns 75 [age]. Thankful to still get out......saves me a bundle on Therapist visits! : ) Really enjoy it.........

I've had many motorcycles over the years and most of them had an "unsweet" spot somewhere in the RPM range. 1 , 2, or 4cyl included.
Even the GoldWing [1980] Comparatively slight and hardly noticeable on the road. Maybe the 6 cyl are smooth throughout the range.

The fact that the whine disappears at higher RPM's is good thing. My PCX has a whine that correlates to 25-30 mph. It's been that way for ages.
Not sure ours have the same causes or not?? Never have been able to figure what causes mine but @ 69 K , not worried about it.

I have a 2013 PCX [w/o the computer] and routinely get around 130 mpg USA [during summer] Think with "your" gallon, 150 mpg may be accurate. My Forza does have the computer and it agrees with a calculator [close] much of the time. Really amazing [accuracy]. Enjoy your new ride..........

Someone will be along to confirm about the strut [or not] My 2014 Forza strut went bad and use a prop rod. [wood dowel] Not Elegant.......works for me.

Mine was built in Thailand. You bring up an interesting point/question. Pretty sure when ordering the belt,I specified it was for a 2014 Forza. Was sent belt #23100-K04-932. [Honda's [oem parts list] specifies # 23100-KTW-901 BELT, DRIVE (MITSUBOSHI)(replaces 23100-K04-931). [No mention of the belt ...

It's a 2014 Forza

The one I ordered and received from Bikezbits this year, Forza/Nss 300 drive belt 23100-K04-932

Thanks for the offer Canthai.... Already have a new one on hand. Thank You Mike P. for the heads up/work around.

Thanks ..Good price but I don't think they ship to USA . At check out I get this Unable to place the order...No reason .. I ordered a Forza drive belt......less than a year ago [same price] Recall the shipping was near $40.00. Thought that was steep for something so light weight. Still ......not a b...

Amazing feat.........look forward to you running in the Scooter Cannonball....... maybe?

What year/how many miles? My belts don't get to age very much.....If that was my situation......[old belt with few miles], might be inclined to put
a new one on and keep the old one as a spare.

Kept my last motorcycle [guessing 6 months] after getting the PCX. I rode it so infrequently, it just seemed
sensible to sell it. Have no plans to go back...... although, might be nice to scratch that itch once in awhile.

That size should work OK. Best that it is a tire designated for front use. If you are stuck with the rear tire and using it on the front,my understanding is that it;s supposed to be reversed. [arrow for rotation going backwards] when mounted on front. I haven't personally done this with the PCX but ...
