Is it just me?

I have had the PCX a month, normally ride 1000cc bikes, Does anybody know the answer to this? When I roll off the throttle i can hear a light clattering from the engine, when you put the power on again it goes away. The bike has done 6000 miles (secondhand) and uses no oil and the oil stays very clean. I used to have singles 40yrs ago and seem to remember the single i had then 250 Ducati also made a similar noise on roll off. am I being paranoid?

Shouldn't be any noises on deceleration. Had two PCX 125s and neither made any noises. Something is not right, who knows what though.

I don't know if I would call it a clatter or a slight rattle, but I have had my used PCX (15,000 kms) for 10 months and have the same noise from the beginning. The shop looked at it and said they see nothing wrong. I'm wondering if it is natural noises from either the clutch or variator. I'm not too concerned about it.

Belt maybe? Probably nothing to worry about.

I know my PCX has some vibration and noise, but it seems normal.

Check the exhaust bracket, radiator shroud, etc. Could be rattling from that if something is loose.

Or the registration plate, a prime candidate for causing vibey rattles.

My PCX has a slight clatter / shudder coming from the CVT. I think it's the clutch engaging. It's likely glazed over, since I ride like grandma. I've heard of this on a few PCXes, and it is completely normal.
