125/150 parts compatibility and interchageability

[cessna151]

When i first bought my PCX150 i had no idea how it was different than the 125 other than the engine and many distributors still don't list parts for the 150. With some help on the other forum i have organized a short list of parts according to whether or not they can be used on both the 125 and the 150.

I will continue to add to this list as reports come in.

INTERCHANGEABLE
Variator (However, stock variators may vary slightly between the two)
Seat
Windshield
Wheels/tires

NOT INTERCHANGEABLE
Air filter/air cover
Radiator/radiator cover
Exhaust/header

Can anyone verify that all the plastic body work is the same on both?

Some plastics are, some aren't. The physical mounting points are the difference. Look up the frame between the 125/150 and you'll see they completely redesigned the frame system

Apart from the fuel flap panels it does seem to be the same

If that's the case i think it would be a good idea to sort out which ones are or aren't.

On a side note, why can't i edit my OP?

So which are and which aren't?

I don't know off the top of my head. The midsection is where it gets tricky. The bike is .6 inches longer wheelbase. And there's a spark plug access panel not present on the 150s.

There's no spark plug panel on the 150s? I've got an ESP 125 and just assumed it was a sleeved down 150, but its got the sparkplug access hatch

Look at illustrated parts diagrams on sites, you'll see

Life is too short, I'll take your word for it

I have the 150 service manual. Perhaps if somebody has a 125 service manual we could compare pictures to determine which are different.
