The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Haha....I am touched by your faith in my ability to learn and to do a professional looking respray job! Seriously though, the unanimous advise, to simply replace the panels, is as I thought but having informed opinions from those who have experienced this dilemma is helpful and much appreciated. Tha...

I have three small and relatively minor scrapes on three panels of my ‘red’ PCX 125. Not noticeable but I know they are there. Will it be cheaper and/or easier to just replace the panels, or respray them? Although I am willing to learn, I have no experience of rubbing down, filling and then resprayi...

On closer inspection...Customs charge, not import duty. Same thing, I guess.

Parts have now arrived. The new belt, weights and sliders from Thailand have incurred no import duty :-). The Driven set from the US did...just over £14. :-( But hey ho, still a lot less than I was quoted domestically. PCX now booked in for Thursday with my usual local independent...

True, but I can't do any more until the parts are shipped to me from overseas.

Sound advice. I bought my PCX back in 2014 from another main dealer 30 odd miles away. The one I approached is just over a mile from home. I would normally avoid a main dealer like the plague in the knowledge that their prices are always excessive. That said, they MOT'd and serviced my PCX for the o...

I am in the midst of getting clarification on billing from two garages so far ahead of the pack. Other quotes should also shed light on anticipated labour time, one of the reasons I wanted to hear from a main dealer who should know best of all, you would think.

Agreed. I am getting responses from several garages but decided to include the Honda main dealership for good measure and comparison. The local independent garage I normally go to agreed with the clutch bearing diagnosis. Just trying to get a clearer idea of how labour costs work. One said about an ...

Hmmm. Guess that answers that, then. Wouldn't you think a main honda dealer mechanic would know better!

Just had a reply from a Honda main dealer I contacted early last week for a quote. “I have spoken to our technician and we would like to have the vehicle here to carry out a full diagnosis prior to pricing anything up as it may be linked to a transmission bearing noise within the gearbox.” Could thi...

Yep, videos for the clutch issues and driven set is very common as is walk-throughs on the forum here - one of the common problems with the new LED pcx from 2014-2017. If you don't know, check the technical forum on this site as great maintenance guides from people such as Maddy Dog, Homie and othe...

Being a complete novice - as is no doubt abundantly clear from my post - I was quite keen to understand more about what is involved with replacing the driven face set, changing the weights and slides and replacing the drive belt. I found this YouTube video one of the clearest of all. It might be of ...

I fully agree. Parts have been ordered - 23205-KWN-640 FACE SET, DRIVEN, HONDA PCX 125 150 DRIVE BELT, WEIGHTS,SLIDE SET 12-13 23100-KZY-701 GENUINE OEM. Both items came to about £62 inc shipping and, as you pointed out, fitting will be much quicker and easier so cheaper cost to befitted.

Good to know. Thanks.

Ok. Thanks. So pot luck to some extent. Worse case scenario, what might I get stung for tax wise for a drive belt and driven assembly? Just trying to anticipate what it might be.

So have a positive mental attitude! I like that.
How does the possibility of import duty work?

Ok. Thanks. Understood.

The time needed to put the assembly in is half that of replacing the bearings.... If your mechanic knows what he is doing he should be able to replace the entire assembly in less than an hour..... That’s good to know. Thanks. So it should be possible for a competent mechanic to replace the whole dr...

I have contacted partzilla.com for an inclusive price to ship to me in the UK. Listed as $28.97 plus shipping. I also found a decent price on bikerbitz.com: £36.94 plus various shipping options just under £25. A lot cheaper than £119 for sure.

I am pretty sure thatpartzilla.com ships to the UK. They are the website that has the assembly for less than $30, plus shipping of course. Still, it would be worthwhile to find the assembly for less than £120. Heck, I bet the part plus shipping from partzilla is half that cost. Many thanks. I’ll lo...
