Tools needed for a PCX 150 for a valve clearance

Post by LukeMelb »

Hey

My 2012 pcx 150 has reached 22 000 km's and I want to start servicing it myself.
This would include replacing many of the parts such as the air filter, rollers, belt and doing
a valve check. Ive watched many videos online and decided to do it myself but have no clue
in buying specific tools I need, can anyone recommend a specific tool set to get these jobs done?
Btw I've already purchased all the new parts mentioned. Any advice would be welcome too :)

Service Manual
Metric socket set and wrenches
Plastic tools http://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-au ... 67021.html
Torque wrench if you don't have a feel for it.
Impact wrench for the clutch work or the special tool to hold the housing whilst using a breaker bar to bust that nut loose.
I cant help you with the valve clearance video because my YT vid is for 2015 PCX only.

Lots of Patience

homie's video for the '15 pcx is a great addition to the guides on here (always good to see a visual thing), but this may help you (or scare you away) from getting to the valves on the '13 model - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B5fEOb6uck
If it starts 1st time every time and rides well, gives good fuel economy then maybe leave the valves alone (I don't advise this, just a thought) :)
