Front End Damage

Yo friends. Be careful out there. A car pulled out infront of me and I T-boned it. My PCX still drives, but there was about 3k worth of damage to his car and Im lucky to have walked away from it. I havent gotten a price estimate yet (some are asking for $250 just for an estimate). The not so awesome...

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

So I have an update on performance. I went in and got the first 600 mile tune up recommended by honda where they adjust the valves. After this minor adjustment AND the fact that I removed the snorkel from the air filter, I feel a noticeable bump in acceleration. I still feel like its slower than the...

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

Putting their elaborate sales pitch aside, if you send an offset temperature reading to the computer and that changes the air/fuel mixture to be richer, wont that help with performance?

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

Man, thats so disappointing but the notion that trying to make the PCX faster is a big headache and not worth makes me sad but it seems to make a lot of sense. At the end of the day I really enjoy riding my PCX but the power loss from the 2013 model is noticeable. Im going to order 13g rollers and p...

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

Iceman - about how much % did they lose? Why did they do this? Homie - I care mostly about acceleration and less about top speed. I added 12g rollers to my previous PCX (2013) and definitely felt a pick up difference. Do I need the NCY vario kit or can I just add 12g rollers or maybe lighter like la...

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

Hey Alx123,
It def wasnt a 300, so the CC was the same as the PCX. Im not interested in going fast on another bike. Id like to go fast on my PCX :). Anyone add a turbo to a PCX ever? Might just do rollers and be happy.

2018 Honda PCX Performance

Anyone else buy the 2018 PCX and make performance upgrades? I rode a 2013 PCX for 3 years before getting a new one and I added rollers to the old one. For some reason my 2018 seems really slow. I even got beat by a Vespa today which really pissed me off. Thinking of getting rollers again. Anyone try...

Re: Acceleration ONLY! PCX 150 2013

Amazing picture! Thanks for sharing.

As an amateur mechanic, do you think I have the ability (and balls) to change the dr pulley rollers myself or should I take it to a shop?

Re: Acceleration ONLY! PCX 150 2013

Great tips gentlemen, keep them coming and thank you! I just ordered the dr pulley 12gram sliders. Cant wait to install. Is there a youtube clip you guys like to use as a guide? Scooterman - when you say remove the snorkel...I am a bit confused. Doesnt the snorkel connect the airbox and filter to th...

Re: Acceleration ONLY! PCX 150 2013

Great tips guys, thanks! Sendler - instead of doing that would it worth it to get a K&N pod filter and a new exhaust? Seems like doing this wouldnt be a huge gain. Scooterman - Im in LA.....we live in the best area for scooter riding! Could I get away with just getting the rollers and keeping th...

Re: Acceleration ONLY! PCX 150 2013

Yes SECoda, I'm willing to sacrifice as much top speed as possible (and a little on fuel economy) for amazing acceleration. To be honest, I'm not sure if anyone should be trying to get more top speed out of this thing. Its freakin scooter man! But, everyone likes different things so who am I to judg...

Acceleration ONLY! PCX 150 2013

Really glad I stumbled upon this message board. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to want my scooter to go faster, but I realized theres a bunch of enthusiasts on here, which is awesome! I've spent more time on here reading than I do with my girlfriend and there seems to be a lots of good in...
