The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I think ya got something there, Oyabun. The OP didn't say he was already riding it (getting heat in it) when it was dying out. Say, Smee, has the MIL(check engine) lit up at all on the bike when this happens? Definitely a problem in there to be addressed.
Post back, yeah?

Might take a look at the spark plug. If it's worn, replace it. If it looks good, try gapping it to the wide side of the spec. for a bit hotter spark. A cold motor has a higher fuel demand. the controller will enrichen the mixture and a hotter spark will help light it until there's some heat in the c...

Once it gets below 50F I drive my car.

That you're uninjured tells me you made the correct choice. Well done!

Fuel additives are not needed. Only when you are not using the scooter for a long period, you can add a cleaner 1 time. "Cleaner" is not necessary to running/maintaining/storing gasoline powered machines. Please avoid it. It doesn't fix anything. If your fuel system is so full of contamin...

Going away the weekend but when I parked up at work this morning I remembered to actually check to see if the high-temp light lights up when the key is turned to the 2nd position (where the fuel pump engages) and no, at no point does mine light up at all - not sure if that's right or if it should h...

So Cathy, didja get the latch back together? If you really want to get into the mechanics of the bike, the manual is reasonably priced from several guys on flea-bay.
Ride safe!

That's correct. The overflow is how the radiator is kept full. If the radiator's full there can be nothing in the o/flow and the motor won't overheat. The coolant sensor is mounted in the system at the motor, itself. It has no knowledge of anything except the coolant temp in the motor as it circulat...

Brass and aluminium. If you CAN use a torque wench on it I'd advise no more than 18 ft lbs. Like I posted, I stopped when I felt the washer yielding. Not difficult to judge and no leaks present.

[/quote]I have no coolant (or very little) in the reservoir as it's about an inch below the low!, but no high temp light ever and the bike rides fine. I'm taking it to a dealer next week, but this seems to suggest what one dealer advised on the phone - if the high temp light does not light then the ...

Femco is nospillsystems re-branded for North America correct me if I'm wrong They appear to be the same , Mine is stamped "Femco" and it came from Amarillo TX. Here's the link, again: http://www.femcodrainplug.com/index.php I called and spoke with Kyle Ottmers. Here's a shot of the contai...

Bngo.....a winner.....nice josh.....can you give us a direct link to where you bought it? And the model number to order? I think i might do a minute scollop if i mounted it, like we discussed? Thanks! The scallop to do would be a decent, maybe 3 MM deep to accommodate a thin-wall socket, ideally. H...

Okay, I got that Femco oil drain valve on my '13 150 today. As advertised, it's a "close fit" at the hex section to the forward case rib. As the valve hits the supplied copper washer, the hex JUST tags the rib at a point. The rib is tapered and is slightly wider as it meets the rest of the...

What makes the fuel cap(not the access door) bad?

My '13 has a temp light to the far-left of the cluster, next to the odo reset button. The icon looks like a thermometer.

I doubt there's much to compare between car and bike tires aside from the most elemental characteristics.

Your oil loss problems could be attributable to the engine not running in properly. Using fully synthetic in a new engine is usually a mistake, it prevents the engine from breaking in properly. Synthetic should only be used during break in for engines which are intended to use synthetic from day 1,...

Really going to need to put tech on it. I doubt we're going to fix it, here. Will it do this rocking with two people on it? That would make it easier to point out, otherwise, try to explain to the tech what/where he's looking for. Speed, load, etc. So the the test ride is fruitful. If it's as pronou...

Welcome!
Lucky you didn't lose the spring. It hooks into the notch below the pivot on that hook that holds the door shut. That's what keeps tension-forward on the hook. Where it hooks at it's rear is a hole in the hook's assembly. You'll see it.
Enjoy!

Oh, man!
Praying for you both!
