Dust in the clutch. Take it for a decent rural ride and wind it up to about 80-90 kph.

Agree.

We have done 4k on ours without any vibration but I do regularly ride it 'flat out'.

With "dust" do you mean abrasion from the belt? Or dust coming from the outside?

On my Nouvo there is an airfilter sponge filtering incoming air. Seems this filter often gets neglected on services, never seen a mechanic cleaning it.

will try what vocal neal said take it for a spin and wind it up tp 80ks.I took it for a 1000km service and mentioned the vibration and they took off the left hand cover and blew some dust out,not sure if it was the clutch.let you know.thanks.

We "had" that problem, from a standing start, open her up a few times.

25.5k km and it never was more than a minor annoyance now and then. Well they changed the belt at 25k km and the belt is as good as ever!

Mine does the same when cold.

Use more throttle when starting out when cold. After the belt has turned a few times, and the glaze is off the side of the belt, it grips the pulley halves better and does not vibrate.

Had a very simlar problem recently with my Honda Forza (16K on the clock)

Juddering when cold, under load or on an upward incline start.

Took it in to renew the rear tyre last week and asked them to look into the juddering issue?

They removed the clutch plate (Fig 5) from the housing, showed me the wear on the pads (still within tolerances) and explained the dust accumulation would be the culprit.

They cleaned out the housing (Fig 1) and now its as responsive as new. Juddering gone.

I would guess the remedy for a PCX would be the same?
