The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I have had my 150 not even 2 months yet, and drive it pretty much daily to work. I am at the 600 mile mark, and just realized the other day my front tire was a little low on air. I drive a 55mph commute with many hills, and I weigh 195 plus gear. I was getting 74mpg. I will see if the tire pressure...

Well, I ordered the City Grip in the original size- 100/90- 14. I am actually looking to trade it in on the Forza...so good I didnt get a bigger one. I almost wonder if Im wasting money by putting on the new one or just trade in as is and return the new tire. Not sure if the Dealer is actually givin...

So what are everyone's updated thoughts on their Forzas? I am looking to trade in my PCX for the Forza, and would like to know your longer time thoughts since it has been more months...of course some may be warm weather riders and havent really riden much since this post...but if you have, please up...

You You- no, but thought a slightly larger tire would ever so slightly improve fuel economy, speed and ride cushion- al beit on a micro level.

I have seen many discussions on types of tires, but what about size? I am down to the wear marks on my PCX 150 rear tire. Has anyone tried to use a bigger tire on the rear? What size will it handle? I was thinking like a 110 or 120/ 90- 14... but wondered if anyone has done similar?

Thanks.

My local dealer has some Burg 400's in. How do they compare to the Forza? At $8K, I would hope they are like a Cadillac...

I really wish that I had not already ordered a tall one so that I could have accepted your offer, but I am the type of person who believes that if a dealer goes through a lot of effort to get something that has been requested by a customer, it is the obligation of the customer to go through with th...

Is it ABS?

Where, may I ask, did you get this tape from?

Thanks

Well, if you were getting 100 mpg on the PCX, and now are only seeing 60 on the Forza...I would probably see 40, since I only get 73-75 on the PCX. :-( It depends how you use it. I am getting 78mpg commuting on the Forza compared to 85mpg on the PCX. Journey is 27 miles, 25 miles A-road and a coupl...

It would help if he had actually read the manual first. The way that it says to do it is the one way he didn't try, i.e. upright facing to the right (exhaust) side. There is a cutout on the floor of the storage area which the chinpiece sits in which the incompetent MrVansan failed to notice. It wou...

One guy couldn't fit his full face helmet under the seat anywhere. did he realize that the only way it fits in the front is to turn it sideways? Go to YouTube and search "Honda Forza 300 Full Review English" by MrVansan, he tries to put what appears to be a normal size helmet under and ca...

I got my PCX 150 in August of this year 2013, and have 1791 on my odometer this morning. It had 5 miles on it when I bought it. Only service has been its initial. No problems thus far. I just wished my mpg was better (ranging from 71-75).

Well, if you were getting 100 mpg on the PCX, and now are only seeing 60 on the Forza...I would probably see 40, since I only get 73-75 on the PCX. :-(

I'm a little disappointed that Honda didn't put a larger tire on the rear. 14 on front and 13 on rear??? Why? Definitely will affect road comfort. Also, from some reviews I have seen, the under seat storage is a let down too. One guy couldn't fit his full face helmet under the seat anywhere.

Well, I have tried Premium, Mid-Grade, and Regular, and this last time put non-ethonol 90 octane and have not noticed any real differences. Maybe (maybe) 2 more mpg with the non-ethonol, but that is not enough to really say there is a definitive difference. I am only getting 72-75 mpg with mine. I d...

Thanks Ronin.

That was funny Meissinger. I can picture the split second panic you must have felt as that happened! Darth- glad to see you on this forum, I remember you on the CTX forum. Did you test the PCX or just went straight to the Forza? I have loved my PCX, but because I ride 55 roads every work day to comm...

Are these waterproof?
