Re: My pcx 2016 dyno stock vs malossi variator

A quote I just ran across from you. "Oh, and the scooter is geared to an indicated 120kph or 74.5mph, but it doesn't have the power to get there..." I can't figure out if you are arguing against my point, for my point, or just not picking up what I'm putting down, but this is what you sai...

Re: My pcx 2016 dyno stock vs malossi variator

I'm aware of all of that, and I run the NCY Variator and Drive face. Many people on this forum run after market. variators, none of which has gotten anyone a top speed on flat ground of roughly 78+mph on it's own. The bikes simply run out of power in stock form before that can be achieved. Unless S...

Re: 2013 150 Engine Mods?

It's too bad that there isn't a company that has packages put together with everything you need to build your engine to level A, B, C, etc. Take the guess work out of it for those of us with less engine tech experience. Sorting through all of the threads with "I'm doing this, than maybe that if...

Re: My pcx 2016 dyno stock vs malossi variator

Is that 130kph on the road, or on the center stand? If on the road, how, when your producing less hp that a stock 2013 pcx150 according to the dyno in your attachment. The dyno reads power at the wheel, not the engine. With a CVT you lose lots of power to the wheel compared to a chain drive. I don'...

Re: 2013 150 Engine Mods?

I just ordered a CM 175cc BBK off eBay and plan to run it with a bigger injector on stock ECU initially. From there I'll be doing the 31mm throttle body and intake manifold, still on stock ECU if possible. Moving on to the Takegawa sports cam and high compression piston with a piggyback ECU to fini...

I keep seeing oohing and aaahing over the same variator and roller mods etc, but is there anything new in the way of engine upgrades like big bore/cylinder kits etc that work on the Americ...

Re: Rear Shocks

I was told they no longer make the XXL Shock, and that the spring in the new XL versions covers a wider weight range that overlaps the old XL and XXL version.

Re: Homie was right!!! 13g better than 12g rollers!

I have the 13 gm rollers on my pcx and love the improvement in takeoff. I like them enough that I now have 13 gm rollers for my wife's bike and the ncy drive face. I am saving up for the ncy variator. Then my wife's bike should be much faster than mine. All we want to be able to do is hit the mid 7...

Re: Tuning the Forza 300 CVT

Do you have any thoughts or data on what would be an optimal combination for PCX 150? I'm running 12.5 gram rollers at the moment.

I just ride and smile. I couldn't give a rats A$$ who acknowledges me or not when I'm riding as long as no one runs me over. Most bikers laugh in a parking lot when they realize what it is, and dismiss it with a chuckle and head-shake, but will give me a nod or some "cool" hand gesture on ...

Nothing wrong with that.
IMO Honda should do a 200cc PCX with ABS.
That would be the dogs doo-dahs.
Oh yeah! that would be sweet! Unfortunately, that's not a market they can cater to, for financial reasons. I get it, but I don't like it.
