The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

.... Appreciate your reply will update when I've bought it. Thanks You have to post pics once you get it or it didn't happen. ;) :lol: Took me a while to figure out how... Not like you folks haven't seen one before but here it is. 50miles in and I've never had so much fun on a scooter. Cannot recom...

Sounds like a good plan. Keep us informed!

The story tells itself but don't look to electric vehicles to save us from the disposable engines and air pollution. To charge up millions of vehicles a day? It's not possible to deliver this kind of electricity grid on this planet... ever :lol: California thinks they will be the first to go full e...

Well all we really need is two brand new PCX's to put this to rest, one very gently ridden and one very aggressively. The proof will be obvious on the compression gauge. So who will participate? pledge your next new PCX... sign up now :) We'll use your PCX to document the numbers. If you believe th...

So the decision is to remove the housing and at the very least blow out anything that has settled in there and check the bearing sometime over the winter months. If it's "the usual suspect" then "blowing it out" won't do anything. Re-greasing MAY help (there have been unconfirme...

Is it electrical?

I'm guessing that he's referring the the switch assemblies?

Yep, one pic nicer then the next! Thanks for allowing me and others a viewing Mav, very professional and pleasing to mine eyes :) The pleasure is all mine - thanks for taking the time to look. They're all for sale by the way (it's a trivial matter for people to get them printed at their preferred l...

The quoted article also says "Cruise power settings above 65%, and preferably in the 70% to 75% of rated power range, should be used to achieve a good engine break-in." That's not WOT..... Also, isn't that Lycoming engine equipped with a diameter & pitch propeller that prevents the en...

Unlike a clutch bike you are naturally seating your rings on a twist-n-go with the aggressive WOT acceleration and deceleration habits of city traffic. No long highway runs or endless country roads for the first 300 and dump the oil at 600 for sure. Then ride the crap out of it and I think your com...

How worried should one be about braking too hard ? Obviously emergency stops need to happen if they need to happen. But I missed that bit of guidance (my OM is in Japanese...) and practiced some low-ish speed emergency stops yesterday just to establish braking distance etc. Is that a terrible thing...

Thanks for the kind words about my photo - there's a bunch more of mine here if you like my style: http://www.pbase.com/cjsouthern/gallery/scenery Beautiful photos! Wish I had that skill! Loved the ones with the flowing water. :) Many thanks for the kind words! The "water effect" comes fr...

I especially like using my FF helmets when the bugs are out. Going by marsh areas along the shoreline the gnats can be quite numerous at times and they hit my face shield like sleet. It's always better to wear a FF helmet but there are occasions when I'll wear my open face for short hops. During wi...

Meant to be termoscud, it's the wrap on leg cover, a must for any scooter owner in winter in my opinion :) http://www.tucanourbano.com/eu/motorcycle-scooter-leg-covers-hand-covers/termoscud.html?p=5 Thanks for that - can't say I'd heard of them before. I normally just wear some thermals under a win...

I can see small images, but it says "You must be logged-in to do that." if I click on any of them to view them larger.

Alrighty, I took the bait! :D I See what you mean. That's a beautiful photograph! How's the back feeling these days? Back is pretty good for the most part thanks - still not getting any younger though, unfortunately. Thanks for the kind words about my photo - there's a bunch more of mine here if yo...

I'll admit it - I'm envious!

But I'm serious - from working under the instrument panels of A-4K Skyhawks to installing a LOT of computers to lying on boulders creating images to ... servicing my PCX.

Hard evidence in the event of an accident is one thing that comes to mind.

Thanks for the replies. I cruised up to a local motorcycle shop, just after posting this, and picked up a real helmet that blocks all of the air from my face. I think I'll be just fine now. I've been riding a Ruckus for the past couple years with a half helmet, but now that I'm going far over the R...
