The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

What you've done ,is the main thing. Some go by the "book", The oil change is most important. Other stuff is probably good to do. I've personally neglected much of it and got away with it. Of course expendables have to be taken care of, Like Dave mentioned. If it isn't broke, don't fix it ...

You got that right [both counts] Have replaced a number of the plastic panels on mine and not too bad if you do it yourself. Bought
the parts through the dealer and shipping was free to the store. As for the valves......absolutely correct. If the scoot is running well,
Don't screw it up!

Yes.... wish there was an option for a thumbnail. Maybe there is?? What ever happened to the simple paperclip, to open files?

Very nice PCX ! Almost looks like an "off white" shade/color. Enjoy!

Click on [full editor & preview] Then below to the left, there is an [Option/attachments] Click on attachments. Then click on the box below that says "add files". It should open your stored files and from there you can select pictures. 100_1387.JPG Hope this helps.

Does yours use oil between changes? Mine still uses quite a bit. Wish I knew where it is going?? Not out the exhaust, and no obvious leak.

Nothing recently...Had a good experience, but that was quite a few years ago.

Got a boat hatch spring to fix mine. It's about 11 inches long and works well. You may prefer the original equipment. Nice that the fuel pump was already taken care of. Enjoy

What a deal! An almost new 2014...... Very nice. The ones we got here in USA had a recall for the fuel pump. [2014] Wondered if that was a "thing" Over there?? We could put our serial # in a web page and find out if the recall had been done or not. Mine needed the pump and Honda took care ...

Was wondering if the "Roller rocker arms" might have been a factor in the maintaining of the valve settings. I'm quite sure my checking was valid. Accepted,004" in the intake, 006" unaccepted. The 009" accepted in exhaust, 011" unaccepted. No obvious evidence of oil lea...

There was a guy over in Greece that was on here a few years ago that had way more miles. He had done some serious modifications [maybe a rebuild] But the Honda Helix is also known for topping 100k , no problem. They filter the oil with a thimble screen also. What amazed me, was finding the valves di...

An addendum to the above. Know that it's hard to believe....I'd be right with you had I not "lived it". Pretty confounding..... Needles to say,
That will be my last valve check. This PCX will be with me till one of us dies!

The PCX has been using oil for a long time but it's gotten worse, lately. Have to add every 200-300 miles. Knew it was probably coming from the Valve cover, as it was dripping on the exhaust header. Never any evidence on the garage floor since it vaporized on the exhaust. Bit the bullet and decided ...

Yeah.... noticed You already reviewed the shield. [old-timers] : ) Hope they get the key problem solved.
Once that's done, think you're really going to enjoy it.

Thanks.. That's a really nice setup. Can see why you like the Shad. How's that windshield ? [comfort] Is the original seat a keeper?
Enjoy it in good health.

Nice reviews [windshield/top box] Thank You. Looking forward to the photos.

You're welcome. Have to agree.......not user friendly. Vespa has the right idea with their dog box, easily removed. No "good"
reason other scooter manufacturers can't do the same?? Happy New Year to all.

Honda is liberal when it comes to oil changes [5k]but over does it on the valve checks. Have had my PCX for about 10 years. More miles than yours. Still waiting for it to "act up" [hard starting, lack of power etc] Runs as well as ever. I Had intensions early on to do a valve check but a m...

Rest on top. For Forza and PCX
