Rear Vibration

Post by d1ckyh »

Loving my new PCX... just hit the 200 mile mark. I'm probably being a bit picky but ever since I've had this, from taking off to about 35mph, there is a vibration somewhere in the rear. I fixed some of it by replacing the plastic plate cover the dealer had put on, but there is still some vibration. I suspect it is either the rear fender the plate is attached to or possibly the plastic exhaust cover, both of which I checked and are on solid.

While the sound doesn't affect the performance whatsoever, the vibration is sort of irritating, for such a high quality build. My Chinese scooter never had a rattle or vibration, so I would expect my honda to be quiet as a mouse.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

"from taking off to about 35mph"
Do a search here. There are many threads on vibration/ shudder at take off etc. Could be glazed clutch shoes, could be number plate shaking, ...You have to be as specific as you can when describing the symptoms. Post a video!
