I got a bosch c3. Wish they had put regenerative option in c3. Might be a good idea next time to unplug the batt for extended idle period.

list la wey.....i plan to get 1 also
currently using 125cc scooter je

1. Remote cannot sync with the scooter. Engine cannot start eventhough LED & meter is ON. Happens too many times. Very annoying problem. The knob has to put back to "O" & press the remote bottom button long long for both to sync & Engine to restart. Suspect is design flaw. But typical of BSH. No action. No recall.

2. Double stand Crack my floor. The right side is too sharp causing my floor to Crack.

3. Engine loud like grass cutter sound. My previous 2015 PCX Engine sound smoother. Even after change EO & use 97 also same.

4. The U Box is narrower than my 2015 PCX. My Givi helmet had to place facing forward else the seat cannot close cannot lock. Even though honda claim is 28 liter but is narrower than my PCX's 25 liter. PCX 25 Liter is wider can fit in Givi full face helmet.

5. If I put hot water bottles inside the U Box, the water will turn cold very fast. On my old 2015 PCX, the water bottle will remain hot warm for at least half a day if the seat is kept closed.

6. The seat can be pry open using hands to steal your wallet & phones you keep under the U Box. Happens to me once lost about rm200 inside my wallet taken by the thief.

7. Engine no power. Not enough torque. Twist the throttle ON fully also the pickup very slow to respond. Very problematic when at round about situation.

8. When brand new for first few weeks , the exhaust when hot had a funky burnt plastic smell that will go away only after a month or so.

9. Parts are expensive. A lalamove driver crash into me & broke my ADV front fender but refused to compensate me. I ask Impian X. They quote me rm120 including labour. It's just a piece of plastic.

10. The left hand side glove box with the phone charger is ridiculously smaller than my 2015 PCX glove box. I tried transferring all the items from my PCX but cannot fit inside the ADV glove box.

11. After 3 months never ride. Battery light indicator turn ON. Suspect battery low cos of the keyless system keeps trying to detect my remote even though the scooter is OFF. Lousy auta half baked technology from honda. Old school keys 🔑 ignition is better. My old ex5 & PCX even after 6 months the battery never give me such problems.

12. The seat is too high. I'm 1.8m yet I have trouble touching the road with both my legs at traffic light stop. This scooter is not suitable for short legs people. PCX seat high is much more comfortable. I can rest both my legs touching the road with PCX.

13. The seat material is too sticky. If I want to adjust my bum I have to stand up. On my PCX I can just slide my bum to a more comfortable position cos the material is slippery smooth without lifting up my bum while riding.


14. The honking sound is too soft too low pitch like birds chirping. Really ridiculous compared to my PCX which is loud & clear.


15. The only thing good about ADV is whether you are tall , short , skinny , fat , old , young , you look very good riding this scooter.

16. Should have sent my old 2015 PCX for repairs instead of trade in to buy this ADV. Wasted rm11k to buy something I dislike within a year. No YouTube reviewers are going to give you such honest reviews like myself cos they also afraid to offend the mighty cash rich BSH of Penang.

All sounds like user expectation issue rather than bike issue

🙈

ADV is 2k more expensive than PCX. If no user expectation issue , I might as well buy a cheap Honda beat & be satisfied with it without any issue.

Price does not goes with more "materials" to it, more like going with more unwanted expectation.

If you think you over paid for this piece of "crap" then sell it loh and use back PCX.

Many surely will buy up your piece of "crap" without similar expection

It's a Honda. But quality like sampah. And it costs me 5 figure in RM. If those YouTube reviewers are honest instead of lying, I might not buy ADV. Power of dreams social media advertising.

12.3v - low battery. Ride it for at least 30 mins. The battery should be replenish by then. Not full but more than enough.

You are right. Yesterday I ride to Tesco lotuss car park & let the engine ON for 30mins. Today no more the battery indicator. Luckily.

Another tell tale of not enough juice in the battery is your start stop refuse to function. Nothing serious.

As usual, don't belip battery indicator means battery weak and come ranting grand mother story on how one is cheated to part his money on something not to his expectation.

**... malubodo keep eating pop corn and drink coke ...**

Wait what?

Bike under warranty no? Take it back to the dealer to check lor.

My battery is coming up to 4 years old. Waiting for it to fail so I can replace it with a liOn battery but it is still going strong.

Some people choose to rant and let off steam rather than doing things right.

That aside, battery lasting 4 years? Wow.... that's good.

I am new to biking and brands of parts appeared alien to me.
What brand of battery is ok in general?
Dry cell or LiO battery.

Thanks for the comprehensive list.

I've seen similar feedbacks from my various groups' members lol

All i baca is user issue except No.3 sound like grass cutter.

3. Its a single cylinder, what did you expect?
4. ...Didn't you check this before buying the bike?
6. Same can be said for plenty of bikes, no? Take a thin piece of metal like a screwdriver and poke it around, you'll eventually unlatch something.
7. User error, up cc or look for lighter options.
9. Honda life, sir. Didn't you get the details of the lalamove driver? At least the license plate?
10. Again, didn't you check this at the shop?
11. 3 months lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo your car also kong ka kiao la
12. User error
13. PCX sure is more comfy
14. Did they let you test this in Impian?

And yes, I agree PCX is slightly better and ADV is not worth the premium but you have some people who buy bike for looks, that or they die2 must buy brand new

ADV may be more suitable for tech savvy owners.

Keyfob:



2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... means PCX is better than ADV for you.

11... see number 1. maybe something u need to disable for the keyfob.

Maybe I'm wrong because the keyfob only for US model, not other regions.

12, 13 - seat problems not suitable for you.
Some ppl only one foot down, not both. You're tall doesn't mean all bikes can do both feet down. We all learn do one foot down one day or another. Sliding off the seat is bad for me. I'd prefer a sticky seat.

if it had so many problems, why did you even buy ADV instead of keeping the PCX if PCX is so much better than ADV?
you didn't test ride or checkout the bike before buying?
if so, then you really can't complain though.
one thing to note, lots of people always say they are x amount in height, but didn't really state their inseam height. Bruh, being tall doesn't mean high inseam also. everybody's proportion is different. Some would say, oh I am 170cm, can flat foot.. but maybe a 172 cm cannot though..

Chill.
For cheapest solution you might want to go to any workshop and charge your battery first, see if the situation improved.

My battery was manufactured in 2018. Still works ok, but then again, the bike is daily driven.

Ryan F9/Fortnine has a pretty good video on youtube on battery types. you can watch it to save me explaining.

I'm going to LiO to save weight. My bike is stupid top heavy for what it is. difference is 2kg.
