The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

This is a diagram of the part. The bearings that go bad are #18 and #19 The bearings come individually or you can buy the entire assembly, ready to install. Clutch bearing.jpg The set #8 is part number 23205-kwn-640 Have your mechanic price that. It takes very little time to replace the assembly. S...

Just got an initial quote from a bike garage I have used previously. Not a main dealer although I will be contacting one tomorrow. All inclusive of VAT: Bearings - £29 for both £36.00 for a new belt I asked to be fitted £50 per hour labour...didn’t know how long it would take, maybe 2-3 hours. The m...

Thanks to all of your help it seems that the source of my ‘odd’ acceleration noise has been pinpointed. Many thanks for all you comments and advice. Sad to discover that this is a known issue with my version of the PCX for which I would have thought Honda has some obligation to remedy the fault. Tha...

Ouch! Sounds like a bad clutch bearing to me. It should not growl like that. Ouch. Oh dear! That’s not good, but if it means the source of my noise issue has been pinpointed, that’s a huge plus. Would that explain the noise when I twist the throttle for a burst of speed, then? Looking to a fix, is ...

If you purchased it in May of 2013 it fits right in the time when Honda had the clutch bearing problems. An easy way to tell if it is that would be to put the bike on its center stand and spin the rear wheel backwards. If it makes a grinding noise then it is the clutch bearing. I believe there were...

If you are certain the noise is coming from the engine and you felt it could be a safety issue or an indicator of a possible mechanical failure then it wouldn't hurt anything (except your wallet) to have an authorized Honda dealer mechanic take a look at it. Or if you feel confident with your skill...

The drive belt is the original one fitted when new. With only about 8000 miles on the clock I understand from speaking to respective service engineers that it’s replacement is not due for me yet.

Thanks for your response. So the fact that the noise is only evident when I twist the throttle seems to rule out a clutch bearing problem...?

Mel46 wrote:What year model is your bike? There were some clutch bearing issues with the earlier models. Also, what is your general location?

It’s was registered new in May 2013.... just before the new PCX model came out. Now about 8000 on the clock. I live in East Anglia, right on the east coast.

I have an odd noise that I am hoping someone might be able to explain, please. Although I have had my 125 PCX almost 5 years, bought just 6 months old from a very reputable dealership, I have been aware of what I can only describe as an engine noise/rattle when I accelerate quite hard. No sign of it...

What about the Givi 322, which is 18.5cm higher than the stock? So 6.5cm lower than the Ermax and 4.5cm higher than the Puig.

[quote="beos59"]Ok finally Ermax +25 screen mounted.

What colour variation is your screen, please - clear, grey, smoked?

Thanks Dustoff66. So smoked is darker than grey? I thought it would be the other way round so that is interesting. From the pictures you have posted it certainly looks good on a red pcx. Quite light. At 180cm I guess there should be no issue.

Thanks for the response. I can see that gray would look nice on a white pcx. I neglected to mention that I have the red colour like the images in the posting above. What is hard to determine is the colour of screen within similar images. My instinct is to opt for a smoked screen but need to be sure ...

Can I ask what your thoughts are on colour, please? I am also looking to order an Ermax +25 windscreen for my Honda PCX and am torn between a clear, grey or smoked screen. I am conscious that I will be commuting in the dark in winter months so I am not sure what choice is best overall. What would yo...
