Hi all,
I recently purchased a used 2013 PCX and unfortunately during the process of transporting it my front tire has significantly come out of alignment with the front forks (image attached). I tried doing the age-old twist between my legs and up against a wall and it won't budge. Has anyone encountered this issue and if so, is there a way to adjust?
Much appreciated,
Kyle

Bodywork looks misplaced on the right of the bike too. Looks like it will need a partial strip down to see the extent of the damage.
Who transported the bike? If it a professional company they will have insurance to cover this.

I don't think it was in transport. if you notice the tire on the left side of the bike, the tire is flaking which means that it has a few kilometers done like that already crooked...

I'm going to say the forks are bent. And its definatly got something going on with the bodywork too so ig guess it could be bent under their too.
Remove the mudguard and wheel and rotate the fork lower as might indicate if bent. Defibatly remove the whole front fairing assembly too

The other thing is that maybe some bolts are not tightened enough.
I would dissasemble everything and see where the problem lays. Probably is something stupid, specially if the scooter didnt have the problem before the transport.
