The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I am experiencing occasional cutting out, like running out of fuel under wide open throttle.

Since my PCX is a 2013 model, what would I need to do to gain access to the fuel tank to clean it and replace any existing fuel filter on the scooter ? Thank You.

There isn't a separate fuel filter, just a strainer on the fuel pump and it doesn't require any maintenance.
What you are experiencing is most likely the rev limiter.

At what speed (mph) do you feel the bucking, stuttering ?

Maybe the injector has a bit of skunge it it? MY auto mechanic nephew swears by Techron, a fuel additive. I used it in my snowblower (admittedly a MUCH simpler engine), and it seemed to help. IT would be $7 gamble, and I don't believe it would hurt anything.

+1. Does ‘t take much, put the remaining in your car or lawn mower or at a 2nd fillup on the PCX. Just mix % wise as recommended. Lucas makes a similar product- they work.

"I am experiencing occasional cutting out, like running out of fuel under wide open throttle."

When your PCX reaches the rev limiter it starts cutting out as a notice to you that it has reached the maximum you can expect from it. If it is a 2013 150cc that has not been modified, don't expect to reach 70 mph. It won't without some mods.

April 9 2019 I noticed it as I opened the throttle wide open over 50 mph. Since then I have been experimenting with wal-mart injector cleaner. I use pure gasoline 99% of the time.

Changing the spark plug would be my first move.

What milage? Have you had it from new? Has it been serviced?

Are you sure you are not hitting the rev limiter

I have only had that happen to me twice. The first time, it was the valves that needed adjusting. The second time it was the rev limiter. I solved both problems and it hasn't complained since then.
I would say check the obvious first. How many miles on your bike?
