front mudguard

Post by freshers »

When I purchased my 2011 pcx125 the seller told me the front mudguard was rubbing on the front tyre due to the tyre being new. It's still rubbing, does anyone know how I can adjust it to move it away from the tyre?

Front mudguard? Fender. What size tire is on the front now?

You've got the wrong size tyre fitted, should be a 90/90-14 so its simply too wide.
There's nothing to adjust, you'll need a new correct size tyre.

Same size on the rear which hopefully is right! Looks like I need to speak to the previous owner!

I have a 120/70 14 on the front of mine without rubbing. It must be the 90 that is causing it. My rear tire/tyre is 140/70 14
