I have gone thru 2 driveshaft bearings in 1 year. Estimated 6k miles. Bearing #10 https://cdn.partzilla.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=50/MTE/d/4/NTAwNjQ3OA-43f687ad.png Screenshot_20241003_095713_Gallery.jpg That's the bearing that failed on me. Mine was really hard to get out. I tried a bearing puller...

This is a great post.
I feel you only need to change the countershaft for a large change in speed.

Here is a link to a post I made viewtopic.php?p=153447#p153447
and here is a table of gear ratio and speed calculations.

These details are for a 2014-2018 model PCX150. Maddiedog put up a great post about changing the final drive gears. https://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?p=61957#p61957 https://www.hondapcx.org/download/file.php?id=6541 However, you don't need to press out the gears to make a big change. By only re...

I've done a tyre change a few times. It's not easy. The first time took me about 3 hours.
You need to use a lot of force.

This happened a while ago, but I'll update it.
The bits were parts of one of the main bearings in the transmission case (gearbox).
It was a bit of work to get the bearing out, but I replaced it. Problem solved.
It's been running well for more than 15,000km.

Do not let the oil get low so that the oil warning light comes on. This is bad. If you are worried about oil, check the dip stick regularly. It's possible the oil leak is just from spilling during a refill. It is easy to spill the oil and it will run down the stand. When the sump is drained oil can ...

First, don’t overthink this. PCX is an extremely reliable machine and used all over the world with various grades of gas & oil, sometimes they never get checked and they worked fine. It’s a can you sophisticated Scooter built for the third world. The only thing you really need to watch is the o...

The clips are annoying. I think I broke the same one when doing valves recently. I plastic welded it back on, but I'm sure it will break again. You may not have mentioned grease on the weights, but I've seen people suggest this. I think it's best to use very little grease on the drive pulley area as...

https://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?t=4373 A big job. Might be easier to see if you are using all the CVT pulley first and address that. There are after-market drive faces that are slightly larger. 120mm vs stock 117mm. Which will give you a bit more. Do you have a tach.? So you know if the engi...

This post is helpful. But you don't need to remove the side panel You should be able to get a small socket wrench onto the three bolts on the CVT cover (the front one is the hardest) and from there continue as you show. It saves time and less chance of damage to side cover. I don't put grease on the...

Be sure to tell the shop about the drain bolt not wanting to thread back in. It looks like it COULD be threads from the casing the drain & fill plugs thread into - like someone overtightened it and stripped the threads (some of which then galled into the bolt threads which is why it doesn't wan...

Thanks,
I'll be opening it up and replacing the bearings. I'll look at changing the drive gears to a fast ratio also.

I started to hear a faint whining sound, like gears meshing, sometimes when slowing to stop. I'm not sure if it's related, but recently I changed the belt and rear tyre, and so removed the clutch assembly, drive face, rear wheel (and removed and cleaned the rear brake). I decided to do the transmiss...
