The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

what i mean is how do u suport pcx while i remove wheels will it sit on milk crate

Milk crate should do if it fits, scissor jack is good with a peice of plywood to spread the load, doesn't really matter, anything

cool ty 4 ya help i always wondered if it will sit on crate balanced

i just looked under my pcx the only flat part is plastic do i put crate under that?

Yeah' the crate should be fine, try to spread the load evenly across the crate to avoid bending the plastic in too much

cool ty ps u r in my old town well almost i was in margate

I found the PCX to be pretty lightweight, I used to undo and remove the axle nut then with one hand hold the front of the scooter up and pull the axle with the other hand then roll the wheel out the way and kick an old car battery under the forks and let the front down so the forks rested on the battery.
When I swapped the forks I rested the scooter with one fork on the battery, removed and changed the other one then swapped the battery around to do the other side.
I was able to lift the scooter with one hand and put the wheel and axle back in with the other.
The Forza was a different proposition, the battery had to go under the bodywork, a Forza 300 is much heavier.

A small scissor jack found in most cars works great as well.

The problem is balance. Once the bike is on the crate find a way to stabilize it on each side so that it won't accidentally fall on its side as you do something that could move it, like pulling something apart. If you are doing this on a cement surface, get some 2X4s, one on each side at an angle, plus one to go under the bike, to connect the two other boards together, like a triangle /_\
The two side boards are attached to the bike some how (hole through each board and a rope passed through the hole and bike and the other hole??). It should make the bike stable.
