Re: Old vs New Forza 300

I live in a hilly area of Queensland, and a 50cc bike is dangerous. Easy to get into trouble with low power and hard to get out of trouble with low speed. As I mentioned in my first ever post, it's no fun going up a hill with a bus up your clacker. :o :o :o

but you have a 2015 soooooo why did you get the recall To be honest homie. I'm not sure what year my bike is designated due to the confusing system dealers use. It's the first LED model released. Also I'm gradually losing brain cells and have no timeline in my mind to remember when I bought it. I c...

Re: How long does it take for the engine oil to warm up?

After servicing with Honda recommended oil I always add some MOS2 Liqui Moly friction reducer. No idea if it makes any difference, but at about $4.00 a shot, it's cheap insurance. :P :P :P On another note has anyone seen my multi grips? We use them to remove corks out of sparkling wine bottles, and ...

Re: Excited new PCX 125 owner

I'm 77 and had my titanium knee for about 5 years, after putting up with pain for over 3 years. Best thing that ever happened. Only drawback is I can't kneel down, that's no biggie. It took about a year to get used to the clunking sound it occasionally makes, but my specialist was right I don't even...

Re: Noise on back wheel or clutch

My 2016 PCX has made that noise since new. Still making it 12,000km later.

I've asked the service guys three times and each time they tell me there is no problem, it's normal. As they aren't backward in earning extra money, I'm happy to accept their word.

Re: Ideas for riding in cool weather, and looking good?

But scooters don't have accidents, so I shouldn't have to be concerned about safety, should I?? Had to smile and agree with your comment. I've had two offs since I have owned the PCX and both were at less than 5km per hour. Both times my protective gear and armour prevented me from harm, with no dam...

Well, Our weather is improving aside from all that pollen, so I think Spring is here. I even had to cut my lawn again. That was a quick winter. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be riding for a little longer. I had to rush my wife to the ER yesterday, so she is in the hospital now. At her doctor'...

You can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.
