You should of upgraded to the larger size City grips. I put over 6k miles on mine and they were still like new. The bigger size tires are a game changer. Stock size is horrible.

I've been using the start/stop function sometimes on lights longer than 20 seconds(there's countdown timers here) but if that puts added stress to the part I will just leave it idling. Personally I've NEVER used the start/stop function on my 2012 PCX150. I don't see the point, at 2.25l/100km the fu...

My PCX has the original City Grips and they are very good. My SYM Jet 14 has City Grip 2 which are also great. I also have a J300 with the 2's and have no complaints. However, scooter forums across the globe always have those who don't like them, in fact some hate them, so it must all be down to pe...

I own a 2012 PCX150 and recently replaced the standard sized Dunlop TT900s with City Grip IIs front and rear (90/90x14 and 100/90x14). I hate them, the profile is extremely convex and I don't like the resultant 'tippy' feeling, something I didn't have with the previous Dunlop TT900s. I'm considering...

Greetings all! I recently 'upgraded' from the original Dunlop TT900 tyres to Michelin City Grip IIs after reading the fantastic reviews on the Michelin website. Frankly, I'm disappointed! Both the 90/90x14 (front) and the 100/90x14 (rear) have a very aggressive convex profile. My PCX150 is now incre...

You should have just bought the rear pulley assembly. Its less than $50. Comes with all the bearings and seals. I finally got around to doing the job (well, everything's out, it took around 45 minutes to strip). At just over 8,000km everything still looks like new. Ordered most of the tools from Te...

@Ganglylamb, many thanks, I only get to see your response now. I never received a message notification from the forum.

Great explanation and pics!

I'm planning to buy some valve adjuster tools online. What size is the nut and 'square' on the 2012 PCX150 adjusters?

An old thread, but still current. My clutch bearing has been an issue since buying my 2012 PCX150 from the first owner in 2016 (bought in 2014) with only 134kms on the clock (his wife had plans to ride to work on the freeway, but soon changed her mind). The noise is now so bad (while pushing and idl...

Thank you for the info. I was considering one of these two from Amazon: 1. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QGP7YD/?coliid=I3NCLIHSKX3PXQ&colid=2FSBOS7QCU27F&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it 2. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VY3RP7T/?coliid=I3Q2WVV0HH6MMJ&colid=2FSBOS7QCU27F&psc=1&ref_=...

Has nobody here set the valves on a 2012 PCX150 before?

Can someone please advise on the locking nut and square adjuster size on the 2012 PCX150 inlet and exhaust valves. I want to order a tool from Amazon, some list a 9mm nut/3mm square and others 10mm/3.5mm.

Many thanks.

Can nobody assist with these questions, many have replaced the belt and set the valve clearances?

The labor charge in my area is $129 per hour and the local dealer is definitely going to take it to me on the repair. If $129/hour is US Dollars then that equates to R2,154/hour in South African terms, you wouldn't even pay that here for a Ferrari/Aston Martin service. Here we can expect to pay R30...

Greetings! I'm planning to buy some tools for a clutch/drive face bearing job on a PCX150, was also considering getting a valve adjustment tool, I see there are quite a few options. 1. Can someone please advise on the size of the locking nut and square adjuster? 2. What is the size of the holes in t...

I can say with certainty that the best way to hear the noise without other noise interference is to turn the bike off, put it on the center stand, and spin the back tire. Go both directions, and if you hear a grinding noise then you can bet the bearings are going. During the 2012 thru 2015 producti...

thanks ralph I've given this noise issue some thought. Based on the design, the bearings function as follows: 1. Driven pulley radial bearing: this rotates only when the engine is idling and the scooter stationary; 2. Driven pullet needle roller bearing: this only partially rotates as the driven pu...

My 2015 with 7000kms has exactly the same noise as demonstrated in the video link. I had no idea I had a problem. I previously downloaded a PCX150 YouTube video where the rear wheel was spun without the clutch, belts and pulleys installed, it sounded pretty much the same as in the video and was put...

Apparently there was an issue with early bearings. What brand were they and which brand should I get to avoid a recurrence of the problem? I can get the two driven face bearings locally ex. Honda for roughly USD30, I may need to get an engineering shop to remove and refit. Should I also replace the ...
