Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
If you insist... won't come cheap, its proprietary to GY6 clutches and I don't see any Chinese knock offs out there. Which surprises me considering all the Chinese scooters on the market. This tells me people are getting this done in other ways like we see on YT. You buy it, use it and sell it to me for 30.00 because that's all I'm willing to pay for that contraption.eggman wrote: i really need a link to a spring compreser

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
Well yea... if it were me and I had one with a few years on it I would replace everything under the CVT cover.
drive faces, rollers (stock or performance vario kit)
belt (the NEW cogged belt)
clutch assembly (bearings, shoes) the whole assembly not just the bearings
A couple hours work
Estimated cost 250.00 usd
Tools needed - impact wrench, torque wrench, drive face tool
Subscribe to my YT channel for part numbers, torque values and walk through video's if you don't have the service manual.
Go for it! Ride like new... there's nothing wrong with your engine, it's just 4 years of normal wear on the drive train for you.

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
Hey look at what this US seller has
I don't know how these compare but the price DAHAM!
stock vario faces and boss bearing w/10gram rollers (toss the rollers out for 15 or 16g ones and you might have something a PCX runs with)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GY6-150cc-157QM ... 2516.l5255
clutch pack complete
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GY6-Scooter-Clu ... 2516.l5255
rear drum shoes
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chinese-Scooter ... 2516.l5255
front brake pads
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disc-Brake-Pads ... 2516.l5255
All speculation here, nobody knows yet until they try and fit it.
BMP motor parts who knew?

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
Mine can pull 240 ft lbs I think so be careful with those. Again don't even think about using it to re-install. I see guys on YT doing that and they must be crazy because that's the crankshafteggman wrote:ps the impact wrench took off pulley bolt with just holding pulley with bare hand

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
Thanks for sharing that video that recorded the bad bearing noise. I spun the rear wheel at the Honda dealer yesterday when they were giving me the quick tutorial on how the PCX works. I listened carefully and it sounds normal right now. . .so using that as a benchmark if I detect any changes I'll have a reference. Wanted to make sure it was OK before I took delivery of it today. . ..

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
We are not likely to see the bearing issue on anything LED. This was a sightly irritating problem for a very few 2013's and maybe a couple 14's. Plus one poor fellow who has had two bad bearings on one bike... what are the chancesPCX150Rider wrote:Thanks for sharing that video that recorded the bad bearing noise.

Re: so is this the sound of a bad bearing
Not really. I did it no problem. Its not that strong really.eggman wrote:ordering parts tonight im scared those who used feet to compress spring do i need to be a heavy guy?
I sat in a seat and held both sides down with my feet and when the nut was removed ( Slackened off beforehand) slowly pull your legs up to release the pressure.
No problem.
Fitting it back is just the reverse.
You should try compressing a road spring on a car to 1/3 of its length to fit it. They go off with a bang if the clamps fail.
