2015 PCX 150 died on me the other day!!!!!

Post by tallcoolone1963 »

Anyone else here have a 2015 PCX 150 with drive-ability issues?? Mine died on me the other day on the way to work, completely lost power and just shut off......it's not out of fuel, battery/starter good, im thinking an electrical problem the way it just quit like that....i had to walk it about 2 miles to the Honda shop, they haven't figured it out yet...... :o I've only had it a month with barely 500 miles on it.......... :(

I have no idea if this is the same thing, but when i purchased my 2013 pcx 150 i took it home and pulled the tail plastics off in order to add more tail lights. What i found when i pulled the panels was a mouse nest! Guess what they used for their nest....the plastic covering for the wires, as well as any other plastic they could find inside the backend of the bike. All of the wires were completely exposed in the back, so it would have grounded out the electrical system if i had driven it much longer. Have the dealer check it for mouse presence in the bike. They get in while the bikes are in the crate in transit.

Thats an interesting dilemma you encountered there! I never even considered the possibility of some critters getting up inside it....fortunately (?) it turned out to be a bad stator in the starter/alternator assembly, so it's covered under warranty (sigh of relief!) I just bought a shop manual for it, for future use, and noticed there are ALOT of changes from the 2013 model to the 2015 version....many i wasn't aware of, like the windscreen-i bought a 2013 version and it didn't fit at the mounting area....DOH!!!!

I had my 2015 PCX die with a bad fuel pump. See my video on here.
