Honda PCX150 2013-2017 Service Manual

Motor Scooter Guide's own detailed production history untangles the genuine model-year confusion around this exact range: "Honda USA then skipped the 2012 model year as they made the switch to a larger engined PCX150 model, which arrived mid-2012 as a 2013 model in both the USA and Canadian markets... Honda again skipped the 2014 model year while they prepped a new version of the PCX. This heavily updated PCX150 was launched in summer 2014 as a 2015 model." That same source confirms the depth of that mid-cycle overhaul: "while the second generation of PCX looks similar upon first glance, it was actually a major departure" from the original 2011/2013 body.

Power throughout this entire range comes from a 153cc liquid-cooled four-stroke SOHC single-cylinder engine, part of Honda's Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) architecture, delivering a claimed 13 hp on the 2013 model, rising to 13.4 hp for the 2015-2018 configuration — Motor Scooter Guide's own spec sheet confirms this real, if modest, output bump accompanied the second-generation body redesign. HondaPCX.org's own forum discussion among longtime owners flags a genuinely important US-market equipment distinction worth knowing when servicing an American-spec bike from this range: "the 2017 U.S. model PCX150H still has the 'cigarette lighter' type socket in the front storage compartment. No 'Smart Key' and it gets IRC stock tires... the 'Idle Stop' feature has never been available on U.S. models either. But we do get the 'Parking Brake'" — genuine equipment differences from PCX150s sold in other global markets during the same model years.

Autoevolution's own detailed 2017 spec sheet confirms the second-generation body's defining features carried through this range: "a redesigned bodywork, dual LED headlights, a one-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and five-spoke alloy wheels," built around an underbone steel frame with a 31mm hydraulic telescopic fork (99mm travel) and twin rear shocks (76mm travel), braking through a 220mm front disc with a three-piston caliper and Combined Braking System (CBS), paired with a rear drum. Motor Scooter Guide's own account confirms one genuinely distinctive quirk of the earlier 2013-generation body specifically: "some unique attributes of the first generation are the widely hated small backrest (aka 'the hump') on the seat, and an upward sloping top edge to the black side panels" — a real styling detail that separates a 2013 model from the cleaner-looking 2015-2017 second generation at a glance. Power runs through Honda's proven V-Matic belt-converter CVT automatic transmission across the entire range. Motor Scooter Guide's own confirmation that this fundamental engine architecture carried forward largely unchanged through 2018 — before a more substantial 2019 overhaul actually reduced bore slightly to 149cc while improving intake and exhaust flow — closes out this exact 2013-2017 specification as a genuinely stable, well-proven generation of Honda's best-selling commuter scooter platform.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2013-2017 PCX150 running the way it was built to.
