What is the recommended air pressure in PCX tyres?

Post by BonJokey »

Although my PCX is from 2010 it has only done 2,500 miles and i have had it for 6 months. My problem is knowing how much air to put into the tyres. The official log book does not even say and neither does the Honda website. I have trawled through this forum and found 3 different PSI numbers.
What is the recommended air pressure for the original PCX tyres, front and back?

I believe it was 29 PSI for the front, 32 on the rear if under 200 lbs load, and 36 PSI if over 200 lbs load. I'm running to the tune of 31 front and 37 rear, just a little bit over in case of leaks over time.

With Passenger:

Do you have your Stock IRC tires on ScooterMan? I'd be nervous with higher pressure. :| Naw, Not I.

Thanks for adding your location.
Please don't get discouraged. Try downloading one of the apps that kapcx just posted. I downloaded a free app called Auto Resize. Very easy.
