The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just back from holiday and others said scooters are the big thing [basically in any warm climate]. If anybody knew BMW recently released one they kept it to themselves. The established brands are quite well entrenched. A friend from Thailand said The PCX is the most common scooter for Westerners and...

"Wear Windscreen" - - forgot about that one, thank you for the reminder...embrace it...

By the way PCX150Rider, that's a BEAUTIFUL picture!!! I forgot to mention, the rear brake is a drum brake, and unlike the front is NOT self-adjusting, which means someone, preferably the owner, manually adjusts it once or twice a month (depending on how much use it gets.) Squirrel's new PCX (bought ...

You could do what motorcyclists do and pull up to the pump and fuel while sitting on it, although the filler neck is kind of low to bend the nozzle at the right times so fuel doesn't drip out of the filler nozzle. I think the preferred way is to get off the machine the same way people get on and off...

Hey Mel, glad she's out riding! Squirrel and I went out Sunday for 1/2 hour in 30F & 12MPH winds. SHE was fine, - - > I <-- should have dressed warmer. We started making adjustments when it started to get cold, and as things can be improved upon we do so, and before you know it you're riding in ...

Not to sound cold, I'm with 2Uz, it's easier on everyone to check out rather than fade away. Neither is good, neither is easy on the family, and WhiteNoise I feel for you. riding@100mpg we need pictures! How can you start a goodbye thread without pictures??? I like scooters, they're really nice for ...

Those are all important concerns, so I don't consider it a pissing match. The legal and safety points are important things to keep in mind. My only concern with LED lights is their brightness. LED's are getting better, but since there aren't any name brands widely available it becomes a gamble. Gil...

Those Chineese replacement bulbs are a great idea, maybe try to find some quality ones though... ....In reality any changes to the distance to the reflector are likely to be minor and won't have a material effect on beam pattern or intensity.... Not to start a pissing match, and only for information...

There's only one socket in the stock bulb housing, and the reflector is set to reflect from a particular bulb. If you change the bulb setup it will be similar to seeing a curvy, sexy gal in a fun-house mirror, then she moves and the curves are in the wrong places... In this case the light won't be r...

I built Race Ramps, so I drive a bike up the ramp onto the flat, then pull the center part of the flat section out, leaving the bike supported by the flat sections under the wheels and kickstand. That should also let all the oil drain out of the screen side of the PCX, necessitating removal of only ...

In the U.S. they're called "marker lights" and they mark the sides of a vehicle, be it a car, truck, or motorcycle. Scooters and motorcycles (which is a "scooter" above 50cc -or- able to exceed 30 MPH under ideal conditions) is required to have a "daytime running light"...

I was referring to when you said "I dance with ants in me pants each time," and somehow you one-upped yourself with the explanation.

Lee Ann Womack even looks creepy in that video, like zombies got her.

It could be, BMW has been exporting production to China: https://www.motor1.com/news/147314/made-in-china-bmw-export/ Motorbike Magazine guessed the same: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorbikemag.es%2Fbmw...

67hp at the crank. 52hp at the rear wheel on a good day. It’s incredibly not powerful stock. HP is not where it's at on V-twins, it's all about torque, which comes on early and keeps on going (right until factory retard-ation). It's also light, so it gets up and goes. The V-Rod (recycled V-Max) has...

Motorcycle ownership is declining. The hipsters don't typically want long-term commitments, and buying a $4,000 machine you have to have a license & insurance for plus maintain is counter to the culture--not saying they're all that way, just Uber/Lyft are typically more their style when they can...

That's kind of weird @WhiteNoise...

Congrats @Tyke on getting a new bike, always exciting.

Aren't they mounted that way for use with ABS systems?

I remember that bicycle! Never on one but admired them. The Fury is incredibly powerful stock, 95 is no problem. The ECU limits the top speed, remove the limit and it'll go to unsafe speeds without hesitation. Changing the pipes, reprogramming the ECU, and possibly larger air intake (stock is fine) ...

Good points Mel. the phone was on the RAM mount for GPS to find the HD entrance, and it died a fast death. There's an SAE plug up there that powers USB ports, but the cable was disconnected by the battery to plug the heated gear in (need to make a Y-cable, it's a constant upgrade for cold). Eventual...

Stranded in the cold with no phone is an issue; they could have given me all sorts of shit but instead did the complete opposite and turned what could have been a huge headache into a great day. (They only asked that I buy a Harley on the way out.)* The gentleman who aired her front up popped in to ...
