Re: PCX 125 Died Mid Ride

Hi all, sorry for lack of replies over the past couple of days and thanks for continuing to troubleshoot and advise - in the video, I have the button pressed in the entire time, it is cutting out and restarting itself. I'll try and get a replacement battery to test and run the spark test as suggeste...

Re: PCX 125 Died Mid Ride

Hey gn2, same part of the world as me! Never changed the air filter and picked this scoot up with just 2k miles on the clock but checked today and it at least "looked" to be in good condition. I can't get it off at the pipe to check because the screw that holds the jubilee clip thing in pl...

Re: PCX 125 died mid ride.

Nothing to report in the trickle of oil that came out, you you! Sorry, not very mechanically-minded so might have given an inaccurate explanation of what's happening when I start the bike. Push the brake in, push the starter button, bike splutters into life and usually conks out after a few seconds ...

Re: PCX 125 died mid ride.

Morning all, not looking good I'm afraid - thought I'd take the opportunity to change the oil while the bike was out of action, was horrified to see a trickle of only ~100ml of oil come out. No idea what's happened there and where it all went, but I'm guessing the engine has siezed? Prior to discove...

Re: PCX 125 died mid ride.

That amount of use is nothing really - pizza delivery bikes must clock up lots more in all weathers and are constantly stopping and starting the bikes. Could be fuel, a connector come loose, loads of things. Do you see any flashing on the dash? Often there is supposed to be a flashign sequence if t...

Re: PCX 125 died mid ride.

Seems its just the alternator (atart) working and no fuel/drive. Check the belt to see it's actually ok. I'll take a lookie at the belt tomorrow, iceman - thanks once again for your advice and input! The belt giving out was my first thought, even as the PCX was losing power, but I've only put 9k mi...

PCX 125 Died Mid Ride

Hey folks, After a rear wheel puncture last week and (seemingly) successfully swapping out the wheel on my 2013 PCX to my 2016 PCX, disaster has struck again. Riding home today, 60mph, the PCX 125 lost power mid-ride and came to a gradual halt. Pushed the b*stard about 2 miles home! Now, the bike st...

Re: (PCX 125) 2013 rear tyre onto 2016?

Got the tyres swapped, was pretty painless except the 2016's 24mm nut was a right bastard to loosen!

Re: (PCX 125) 2013 rear tyre onto 2016?

Not sure about the tyre fitting, guess so, but for bikes, road tires typically require 80 to 130 psi (pounds per square inch); mountain tires, 25 to 35 psi; and hybrid tires, 40 to 70 psi. As the PCX tyre pressures as nominally 29psi front and 33psi rear, any decent bike pump should work but it wil...

(PCX 125) 2013 rear tyre onto 2016?

Hey all, Currently running a 2016 PCX125, the rear tyre gave out on the dual carriageway last night :x . I've got a spare (for parts) PCX 125 2013 lying around. Would there be any issue putting the 2013's rear tyre onto the 2016's? Also, am I right in thinking a standard bicycle pump with the correc...
