The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Can I run premium gas in my PCX150? Or would it do more worse than good?

If you can go without the Givi screen, you can purchase a tall windscreen from Honda. It's probably more expensive. But it looks nice from what I've seen. Otherwise, that attachment Givi screen will do.

After my first oil change Friday, my dealer said the engine looks great after he pulled it apart and checked the rings. He even showed me the oil they drained showing it didn't have any shavings or any issues. It actually looked really clean and unused for the most part. I'm feeling really good abou...

might be the benefits of cooking your piston rings during break in, maybe I should have done that...

Don't get me worried!!

Nice. Glad to hear it. I have this Givi top case: http://www.amazon.com/Givi-Monolock-Tour-Brake-Light/dp/B005LLQGHE The latch is not of the best design, and it took me a while to get it figured out when you close the lid. Once you get the hang of it, no big deal. Even so, I wouldn't say the lock c...

I got it to work! I just pushed the tab in then turned the key. I guess the latch tab sticks out a little bit, but once I pushed it in and turned the key it locked finally! So the answer looks to be user error lol do you have to do the same thing with yours? Do you have one?

Hard to troubleshoot it without seeing it in person. Have the guys at the place where you bought it fiddle with it. If they can't fix it, they should replace it if defective. They haven't checked it yet, looks like I'll just have to have them check it when I do maintenance today. But ill keep you p...

I hope so. I can't wait until fresh oil is in there and I'm in the clear.

I can't go faster than 64mph down hill at the limiter Since you're new... =P 2015 hits the limiter new at 65-66mph. I've got my 2015 going 75-76mph with a NCY variator and NCY drive face running 20x15 13G NCY rollers ($120 shipped for all parts). The 2015's have a one tooth difference on the intern...

I didn't bother. I rode it normally from day 1. As long as you warm it up before giving it the beans it'll be fine. I'll usually start mine in the garage, or outside my work, then I sit there for a minute or so, then I ride it between 30-45mph the first 4-5 miles, then I hit my highway to work/home...

Sounds like your lock either needs to be lubricated or it's not latching completely, hence the lock cylinder is not completely turned in the lock direction to release the key. What kind of trunk or top case is it? I assume you mean a top case, not the luggage area under the seat. It's the top case ...

A compression check is 100% a waste of time in your situation. There is literally about a 1/1000 chance at this point you've damaged your engine. And what if you have? Too late now to do anything about it, even in the exceedingly, and I stress exceedingly remote case that you've hurt something. Wat...

If you know how to help me lock my trunk to the PCX. That'd be greatly appreciated. I posted it

Some one posted for a new engine in the break in crowd; Fire the engine and let it warm up, take a 1/4 throttle pass. Shut it down and let the engine cool. Run the engine through a 1/2 throttle pass, and let it cool. Run the engine through a 3/4 throttle pass, and let it cool. Run the engine trough...

I can't go faster than 64mph down hill at the limiter

For every person that advocates a gentle break in, you'll find another that says ride it like you stole it from day one. I don't think there is definitive evidence that not paying strict attention to the break in period actually has any negative consequences. I've seen smart, knowledgeable people w...

CONGRATULATIONS! you are the 30th member of this forum to own a new 2015 Honda PCX. I dub thee proud owner and join thee to the front of the PARADE! 8) You were suppose to keep it down around 45 mph for 300 miles I think, but might just be guidelines and not rule. Something about how the rings woul...

This may be a stupid question. But I can't figure it out. I have a 2015 PCX150 with a trunk. I can latch the trunk shut, but when I try to "turn the key" to lock it, it won't actually turn all the way. It won't even let me take the key out until I unlatch it so the key hole can turn, then ...

I have a 2015 PCX150 and it has 520 miles on it. I have been riding it harder than I would of preferred, but I really don't have a choice. I commute 47 miles one way to work. 70% of the commute is at 55mph highway speeds. So I've just about been at it's limit the entire time I've had it. I will be t...
