The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

If there's anything they can charge you more for then they will. I've heard that it goes up once you've passed your test too.

Congratulations! Cannot wait to get the L plates off mine. I enjoyed riding the 750 on my lesson but I still think the pcx will be a much better machine for my commute. Passed my theory test this morning. Only went and got the highest score they'd ever seen (otherwise I wouldn't be dragging this old...

It'll last the rest of your life...

Going out on a 750cc on Friday!

If I never post again, something went horribly wrong...

The therory test is multiple choice, and pretty much common sense. If you've been riding a while, you should breeze it. Try this practice test, that's what I did before I took it for real - http://www.safedrivingforlife.info/take-official-free-practice-driving-theory-test/motorcycle-practice-theory...

I got a 2m Almax chain too but assumed it would be way too heavy to keep under the seat. Might give it a go now. I've just been using an alarmed disk lock when I'm out and about and was considering getting a smaller lock and chain to take with me, so hopefully I won't need one. I've also got 3 cover...

I changed from the stock tyres to Michelin City Grips and they certainly seem a lot grippier and give me a lot more confidence. I've only done about 600 miles or so on them but I've ridden in some pretty nasty rain and a little bit of ice and hail etc. Disclaimer - I'm a newbie so the confidence may...

True. Carefully took the split pin out my snapping it into pieces then sprayed a bit of wd40 on the stand pin thingyo. It didn't seem to want to move (didn't try too much force) But I noticed that the stand was now flipping back up into place so I whacked a bit of copper grease one, put the washer a...

Dealer's miles away. It'd be a proper hassle to take it back so I'd rather sort it out myself - unless it's something that could get worse / really shouldn't be happening at 6 months / might be a sign of some other problems?!

Cheers for the advice. It's only 6 months old so I'm hoping I can get the pin out easy enough. We'll see tomorrow!

Thanks. Doesn't look too bad but I didn't know you could reuse them. Never used one before. I sprayed a bit of white grease stuff on and tried to work it in a bit but hasn't helped. I'll do it properly tomorrow!

Thanks for this thread gn2 - my centre stand has stopped springing up into place so I'll be giving this a go soon.

Does anybody know what size split pin I'll need?

Well, the Maypole cover definitely works better than the Oxford and ebay ones. Still a bit of rain on the back of the seat but not too bad and the rest of the bike was fairly dry. Think I'll keep this one! Thanks for the advice.

Me? Sadly not kidding.

I remember having an argument with my driving instructor years ago, because I slowed down when a cat ran out in front of me (empty road and I checked the mirrors!). He said I'd fail if I did that on my test, so I said I'd obviously try to avoid running a cat over, even if it meant failing my test. H...

Lookin' good JoJo. Where did you get the brake levers from?

I sprayed acf50 all over the place last time I washed it. Didn't have a a clue what I was doing. Just avoided the brakes and tyres (hopefully) and my bike is STILL rust free after almost 300 miles, so it clearly works.

Chigman - that ebay one looks pretty good actually. I only went for a cheap one after spending over twenty quid on an Oxford one that didn't work. I've ordered the Maypole one now though, so if that doesn't work it'll just end up being an expensive dust cover. They do seem to be a completed waste of...

Thanks, I'll give that one a go. Third time lucky?!

I've got waterproof trousers in my bag, but when I see it's dry outside, I don't put them on, only to find that the cover's been working in reverse! Luckily I keep a small towel thing under the seat now.

So, 'waterproof' rain covers - are any of them actually waterproof?! I've tried two now (an expensive Oxford aquatex one and a cheap ebay one) but both leave puddles on the seat. They even seem to collect whatever little rain there may have been during the night and seal it in ready for you. I bough...

I'm getting a bit addicted to these vids. If I have any free time I'm either out on my pcx or watching videos of you out on yours! I need to sort my life out! Hopefully my New Toy Syndrome will wear off soon!
