Heavy use and tough conditions
Wet, dusty or full-throttle riding
Honda says to service the air cleaner more often if you ride in unusually wet or dusty places, and the crankcase breather more often if you ride in the rain or at full throttle. It gives no exact distance for either.
Coolant, final drive oil and brake fluid
These three are on a calendar interval in the chart, whatever the distance. Honda marks replacing them as work that needs mechanical skill, so most owners leave them to a dealer.
Regional differences
This is the schedule in the English 2021 manual, as hosted by Honda Romania. Honda's manuals for other countries and years are separate, and the intervals may differ. Check the one for your country and year.
This page does not cover the PCX Hybrid or electric versions, or other model years. Honda lists a long set of "inspect" items (lights, suspension, fasteners, steering head bearings and more) that we have not copied here. The mile figures are our rounded conversions.
How to track this in Loggy
Loggy is a free maintenance logbook app for iOS and Android. A PCX is often a daily commuter, so the oil is due sooner than on most bikes. Add yours, log each oil change with the odometer reading, and set a reminder date for the next one.
- Log each service with its date, reading, cost, receipt and photos.
- Set a reminder for the next service. Loggy reminders go off on a date, not at an odometer reading, so pick the date from how much you usually drive.
- Add your old paper records so the whole history is in one place.
- Export the history as a PDF or transfer it to the next owner when you sell.
The free plan has unlimited vehicles, reminders, PDF export and vehicle transfer, and no ads.
