The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

OK, so here are pictures of both the self-stick plastic bumper pads I used, and the now trimmed down OEM rubber bumpers. The difference between the plastic bumpers and the thickness of the rubber pads (outside the bottom of the seat) was 1/16 in. which was about how much I tried to trim off the back...

Very nice. Both of 'em.

Because it's not adjustable.

It is. Slacken the two small bolts, move, retighten.

The 2 bolts that hold the latch to the frame? There's no slack in mine.

@JonW, are you going to shave the edges of the old bumpers? or are you going to cut thru them cross-section to lower them? I'm going to try and take 1/16in. (which is the difference in thickness of the rubber PCX bumper and the self-stick plastic furniture pad) off the back side of the bumper while...

The Honda dealer would have been happy to order me two new replacement rubber bumpers for around $1 each, but they were no different than what I had taken off the scooter so I declined. For yucks we looked at the comparable part on the 2015 model which was around $5 each, so clearly something about ...

You mentioned "slammed". It's not to be slammed down. It's pressed down using the heel of the hand as you use the rear handle to pull against with your other hand. The thing is sort of "mashed" down over the latch. Honda wants the seat to be a very firmly clamped part of the bod...

Jon, rest the seat down and finish the job using the heal of your hand to push it down. You'll hear it latch closed. This is Common practice closing the PCX seat. I had a 2011 and it was the only way I could latch it. Now I find myself doing the same procedure with my 2015. Routine and...."mus...

The seat on my 2013 PCX150 won't latch regardless of how much force I use on it. The top of the latch mechanism seemed pretty beaten up (I assume the previous owner had the same problem) so I bought and installed a new latch mechanism. Same problem. So as a test I pulled off the two rubber pads on t...

Unfortunately it's not a depression that is left. It's two hard plastic posts in the shell sticking up that if you sit back onto the newly liberated area of the seat to gain legroom for the feet forward position, you will feel them. I should let her speak for herself, but I believe she fills in the...

For a few bucks she'll add some padding to minimize the depression left by the removed bump stop. That's what I'm planning on when I order mine. No need to futz around with the seat shell.

I bought a Lithium battery and replaced the lead acid one in the bike. I now use a ctek charger and alternate between the two batteries, keeping the lead acid as a spare. I've been looking into using a Lithium battery for the fast charge-ability and reduced weight. How's it working out for you?

Oh oh oh...ohkay. Understood. No issues hmm...unless you bought the fruity "lemon" variety. JOKING!! You might get yourself a tender just to have it available. Not expensive and they go on sale every now n then. Up to yerself :P ~ Happy Trails ~ I have one attached to the PCX's battery si...

I get why you'd want easy access. And I realize why a tender would be useful for long periods of not being used.

Being new to my PCX (bought in late fall and immediately put into storage) I just wanted to know if there was some electrical issue I wasn't aware of.

I don't get why you even need a battery tender. Are you not using your scooter for long periods of time and the battery is getting drained? Is there something wrong with your charging system? I use one on my battery during the winter when I remove it and store it (the battery) in the house. But duri...

Not only does it drive up everyone's insurance rates, it costs all of society when costly severe head injuries exceed insurance coverages and hospitals and doctors or mediicaid and local governments are expected to eat the bill. If someone makes a stupid choice to not wear a helmet and they get unlu...

Got it - thanks.

How do you mark all posts as read, so the next time you log in you can easily see all new posts you haven't seen yet?

Usually there's a link to something like "Mark all read" somewhere, but I can't find anything like that on this forum.

Thanks.
