Hello,
Bout time to change oil for first time. Does anyone have the torque specs for the oil drain bolt for the 21 pcx?

Congrats on the new bike. If it came with an owners manual, the torque specs should be listed along with a 'how to change the oil' section.

You can use 15 foot pounds and you’ll be OK ….that’s what Yamaha recommends and I’m sure Honda is the same

I have a torque wrench but hardly ever use it, especially on the smaller nuts. I've changed the oil lots of times over seven years of ownership and still use the same washer (flip it occasionally) - no leaks and just tighten by what feels right without excessive force.

Mrags89..I don’t use a torque wrench on my oil changes either…but if interested the service manual shows 18 ft.lb (24 Nm) on the drain bolt, and 15 ft.lb (20 Nm) on the oil screen cap.
How many miles so far? Hope you’re enjoying your new PCX as much as I am! Cheers
