Re: What have you done to improve the PCX suspension?

I noticed the hard suspension too and I let out some air in the stock iRC that came with the 2018/19 pcx 150. I run mine 26 front and 30 rear and it feels much softer than before. The iRCs seems to have a very stiff sidewall so letting out some air has improved the comfort significantly. I weight 96...

Re: Clutch chatter

They're now selling carbon type aftermarket clutch pads that solved the problem. Used mine 30,000 kms without any problems. I think you can find them in Vietnam as well I'll give those a search, but as I'm not too familiar with the local language here it's easier for me to just get the original hon...

Re: Clutch chatter

Necroing an old thread cause the clutch drives me nuts sometimes on my 2018(or 2019 in the US) PCX 150.

Would the 22535-KVB-900 clutch work for my PCX or is that for the 125 version only?

Re: 2019/2020 PCX or SMAX

I've ridden the 2014 Smax, I've also ridden a 2017 Aerox 155/NVX 155, and currently ride a 2019 PCX 150. The two scooters are kind of bad to compare directly IMO. One is for more RV riding, the other is for more sporty riding. The riding position reflects this a lot. The Smax and Aerox all felt more...

Re: What windscreens are available for 2019 PCX150

Hello I recently purchased this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32962231741.html for my 2019 PCX. I'm 5'11 and while it does block the wind on my chest area, it does create a lot of turbulence where my head is. I wear a full face helmet that was actually pretty quiet before this shield, but now it's...

Re: Crashbars from a 2018/19

These will be fine if you're wanting to ram other scooters off the road. For crash protection though I think you'd need them to run higher up towards the handle bars like fish said. These look like it'll create a pivot point and could potentially catch and cause the top part of the bike to flip over...

Re: Michelin tire installed, bench & review

They still put IRCs on the new bikes? I know that I read somewhere on this forum that some of the newer bikes were coming from the factory with City Grips. There really is a difference in their grip in wet weather. Mine came with the iRCs. I purchased my PCX in vietnam where dealer reputation is at...

Re: Whats with the decrease in Bhp?

I think in general that old adage "there's no replacement for displacement" is true. Yea it might have higher horsepower but it might come at a high RPM at the cost of good usable torque. I've no doubt they did it for higher fuel economy figures and probably emissions as well. Still though...

Re: Michelin tire installed, bench & review

I've been interested in these tires since I saw them. The tread pattern really appeals to me and the seems to have very good wet grip as well.

Do these tires offer on par or better dry grip than the stock iRCs that comes on the 2018(2019 in the US) PCX?

Re: Question regarding smartkey system

Maybe you are leaving the key close to the scooter and that might be activating it? Wrap the key fob in aluminum, so that it wont connect, maybe? That's impossible. I live in an apartment complex on the 8th floor. There's 8 floors worth of concrete and steel between key fob and bike and no direct v...

Bosch is a good example ;they report that a very small part of the ECU stays alive to receive the signal, it is about a draw of 10 μA, Which in battery that is 50% completed already still would have 41 days of sleep before the battery went dead. A full battery would last nearly 90 days In sleep mod...

Re: Question regarding smartkey system

Never actually happened to me, the longest I left the bike is 1 month with alarm. The alarm was disabled because it was low in battery but it left just enough juice for the scoot to be able to start and recharge. So I'm thinking there might be something wrong with your PCX if your battery is flat a...

Re: Question regarding smartkey system

So the smart key system doesn't use any power(or negligible) if it's sitting there? I'm not sure if I turned on the alarm or not, I don't usually bother with it and this is the first time I've left it sitting for this long. I ride it every day so it should have been topped off on electricity before ...

Question regarding smartkey system

Hi all, first post newbie here. My PCX is a 2018(or 2019 in the US) and has the smart key system. It works great but the last month I've had to leave it sitting for about 3 weeks and came back to a dead battery. I figured it died cause the computer sensors was sitting in standby mode waiting to dete...
