VocalNeal Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Dust in the clutch. Take it for a decent rural ride and wind it up to about 80-90 kph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 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'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Dust in the clutch. Take it for a decent rural ride and wind it up to about 80-90 kph. 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.

transam Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We "had" that problem, from a standing start, open her up a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkinbkk Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) 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?
