The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just wondering what the best thing to do is...will the garage be able to fix a slow puncture or will i need a new tyre ?
and if so am i better off buying the tyre myself and taking to them to replace it ?

any advice appreciated

Not sure about scooters but i had a puncture repaired on my car and used that tyre for nearly a year and it was fine. Depends on where the puncture is though.

Tricky question. Trickier answer.

One of them might help??

I didnt realise the tyres had an inner tube...

Ummmm. Mine don't have tubes....

I see...thanks rich666 !

Scottish,
as a rule of thumb most places wont repair a bike/scooter tyre, but if the hole is center or just off centre some will plug the tyre also if its too near the edge of the tyre a reapair is def a no no. depends how well you know the guys really. get a price of the new one if needed from them or get it yourself and slip them some cash/biscuits for fitting it,if it can be repaired its up to you ultimatley. Ive rapaired a scoot tyre with no problems.

Sound advice, cheers trigg.

Although it's not recommended to place tubes in tubeless tyres, I've done it and didn't have a problem.
You can get tubeless puncture kits. e.g. this one
Check that it isn't the valve first though...

How do you check its not the valve ? Its a very slow puncture btw, takes 2 days before going flat.

Also whats this 100/90 about ? tyre thickness ? what sizes can the PCX take for the rear tyre?

you check if it's the valve by taking thr dustcap off and putting water in the valve and if it bubbles you need a new valve.
Or put the wheel in a deep puddle with the valve under the water and look for bubbles.

100 is the width in millimetres
90 is the aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio of the width to the height expressed as a percentage of the width, so 90% of 100mm = 90mm high.
The front is 90/90 so 90% of 90mm = 81mm high.

The only fully correct fitment for the PCX rear is 100/90, however you can get away with a Maxxis 110/80 M6127 on the rear as that is 88mm high.

Tyres available in the correct size are Pirelli Diablo Scooter, Michelin City Grip and the OEM IRC ones.

Much obliged gn2

the little scooter i had before my PCX got a puncture after about 1000 miles, slapped a tube in it and it was fine until I sold it nearly a year later.

As gn said it's not recommended but if it worlks and saves you £50.

I had no clue that was even possible! Good tip about the tubes. Would be great to have around if you need to wait on shipping for a new tire
