something to consider. when tightening the variator, tighten and little, the hand spin the variator. tighten a little more, and hand spin yet again. keep doing this until torque is achieved. by doing this, you verify that the variator is properly tightened. just some thoughts.
Just a tip...you dont have to remove the lower panel to access the cover bolts hidden behind. If you weld an 8 mm socket to an old screw driver or type of steel shaft thats similar... works for many times, need someone with very small hands is handy for that too. Thanks also for your clip. Clean job.
to compress the clutch assembly spring, place it on the ground and then put both of your feet on it and press down. with the correct socket and your impact wrench, you can easily remove it. then release your feet slowly and there you have it. consider that.
That is one way, but using the correct tool avoids damage to me and the part. If someone else wishes to do that, it's their choice, but I didn't think suggesting taking the nut off without the proper spring compression tool was something I wanted to recommend (liability and all)
Clear and informative video. Helped me understand the work I am about to have done on my PCX with the parts I have sourced myself. Seeing the video, maybe I should have had a crack at it myself!
I was hoping to see more about the clutch roller and needle roller bearing replacement. I've just bought those parts for my 2012 PCX150 (7,500km) - the bearing has been noisy since new, but has now reached a point where I want to sort it out. I also managed to get some of the correct grease from Shell, I'll probably have to take it to someone to strip the clutch housing, extract the old bearings etc.
I didn't do much with the needle bearing because I just replaced the assembly. Since I had the spring compression done at a shop, there wasn't anything to show on camera.
@@honkerman74 6:01, do you perhaps have access to an old clutch assembly to provide the PCD and diameter of the three holes in which the spring compressor pins locate? I have a friend who offered to build me a spring compressor.
I need to replace my belt. I bought Honda stock parts but I really been thinking out replacing everything. I live in a hilly area and would love to hit the freeway to get to work. The scooter does great on any road that is 55 or lower
great video. I have a SH125i and they share many of the same parts. my bike isnt even a year old yet and i get this annoying whirly bearing sound from the transmission at idle. wheel dosent freely spin when on stand. i thought it may be lack of gear oil or this, that bearing or needle bearing behind the CVT. how many miles/KM before you had to change yours?
Did you have any issues with vibrations during intial take offs with you previous variator, and if there was, did the new variator get rid of that? Thanks.
I know your scoot is a bit different from the newer 2015 up PCX, but would you still say that it would be a worthwhile upgrade to one of those too? I'm very surprised that you were able to get to 70+ so easily! I'm overseas right now and I currently have a Honda Click 125i, and I top out about 100 to 110 kph. When I get back to the states, I was heavily thinking about getting a PCX 150, but didn't know how it would do at highway speeds. Since I live in TX, and everything is via highway, I didn't know if it would be scary or uncomfortable taking it to speed like that.
research and see if they have aftermarket steering dumper for PCX. I used to have Yamaha 135LC, after upgrading the engine I was able to get 150kph (94mph) but it got scary at 120 (75mph). with steering dumper I can ride up to 143kph (89mph) with just hand. best thing I ever did
Which grease did you used for greasing the clutch bearing and final drive shaft? Is it ep2 grease or ngli 2 or ngli 3? Can we used ngli 3? Please let me know.
I'm trained as a motorcycle tech, but I work in a car dealership at the service counter. I content myself with puttering around with my own bikes from time to time. I do have a dream of one day opening my own small shop.

@@charlesdwilson2112 Do you have the link for the "inside of a driven pulley"? You bought 4 things but only listed 3 links and I am looking to recreate your work on my pcx. please help!
@@llanos5000 I never changed the rear clutch. I will still use the factory rear (hit) clutch as it works fine. He was having an issue with bearing noise and did a replacement.
It's a generic clutch holding tool. There are many different brands available online. Just google "Clutch holding tool" and you will be spoiled for choice.
modified pulley is better sir..here in asia we almost used modified pulley because the oem has a good alloy quality than aftermarket like nyc, that is a taiwan brand
I think this was around 10k miles. Please bear in mind that I subject my scooter to a lot of high speed riding, so normal use should not groove the pulleys as badly was what I found
@@honkerman74 "NCY Variator and clutch bearing replacement on a Honda PCX 150 scooter" Is the title of your video!!!!! You went to the shop so where does it show how the change the bearings??? It's doesn't!!! I know where the bearing is and now thanks to anther video that DOES show how what tools to use but you advertise something you simply do not show... You are not replacing any bearings you are replacing the variator and the rollers...
The bearing is inside the clutch. You replace it by buying the whole piece. It’s less expensive and time consuming. Did you even watch the video? The answer is within the first minute of the video that the bearing is inside the driven pulley

@Scootin' Fool When you replace the assembly the bearings are already installed?

Do you have a list of the part, where you ordered them and how much per parts?

Great guide, I shared it with a fellow reddit reader. Great JOb.
oh, thanks. :)
Great video. I bookmarked it for when my 2013 PCX's variator goes south. Do you have one on the bearing too, or was that included in this replacment?
good video man thanks for the upload
Nice video..How many grams is the standard original rollers in PCX 150?
Did you have any issues with vibrations during intial take offs with you previous variator, and if there was, did the new variator get rid of that? Thanks.
Sorry , can you write the tork in Pulley nut forward and backward because I did not understand the numbers. Iam from Spain. Tanks.
According to the manual, torque for the forward pulley nut is 59 Nm / 44 ft/lb. for the nut on the rear pulley, the torque should be 49 Nm or 36 ft/lb
Scootin' Fool Tanks man
I did the NCy kit same as you did 2015 PCX led . I used sliders not rollers . but I'm wondering if I can use my stock rollers with new variator ?
The turbine of variator pulley is the same size of oem?
Regards
Did you replace the gasket on the crank case?

This was 4 years ago. I'm sorry, but I don't recall. It was grease they put on it for me at the shop where they assembled the clutch.

@@llanos5000 Those are all you need. The outer face- the variator and rollers.
The variator is the inside face.
@@llanos5000 I never changed the rear clutch. I will still use the factory rear (hit) clutch as it works fine. He was having an issue with bearing noise and did a replacement.
Where did you purchase your holding tool ? Is it worth the money ?
I don't remember. It's been a while. I did a search for clutch holder tool
So, how do you like the NYC variator now?
It works well. I’ve got about 5500 miles on it with no trouble.
Any chance I can have the Clutch removal tool part number?
It's a generic clutch holding tool. There are many different brands available online. Just google "Clutch holding tool" and you will be spoiled for choice.
got a link for parts?
tbh, this was four years ago. I think I got the NCY parts from scooterworks, and the inner portion of the driven pulley I got through my Honda dealer.
you think that the kit will work on a 2016 150 pcx?
Yes is should work on all models from the 125/150cc models. I installed the kit on my 2015.
modified pulley is better sir..here in asia we almost used modified pulley because the oem has a good alloy quality than aftermarket like nyc, that is a taiwan brand
Mine has worked just fine since installed.
how many miles did it have before it went bad?
I think this was around 10k miles. Please bear in mind that I subject my scooter to a lot of high speed riding, so normal use should not groove the pulleys as badly was what I found
Where do you actually replace any bearings? You don't even have a clutch compression tool yet the title says clutch bearing replacement
the bearing is inside the rear pulley assy. I had the pulley assy pressed together at a shop, then greased the needle bearing heavily.
