Re: For your consideration

Can't believe this 125 discussion is still going on :lol: Here we've moved on. Now PCX 150's and SYM GTS 300i. Even Honda Zoomer X but gains are smaller with smaller engines. Hey Demon. How's it hangin? Recently being purported here is that an older 125 may suffer valve float before the engine reach...

Re: Dr. Pulley & Contra spring testing

Will have to see if I can find some scales at work and borrow them. Don't have anything for grams at home. There is a thread somewhere on weights - the Thai 125's have 18g rollers while the rest of the world have 15g as standard. Put the weights in a Jiffy/padded bag addressed to yourself take them...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

I don't want you to interpret that as an insult. I say gearhead in the most affectionate manner possible. I think you have some balls to not only sell the parts, but stick by them and defend them. MD. I took it affectionately:-) What I don't understand is why everyone says they don't work. They are...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

You can call me boring and attempt to diss me all you like, I simply don't care. The benefits (if indeed there are any) against the cost mean that I will never buy an aftermarket variator for my PCX. I suppose on a purely personal level I don't care what you think either. They do work and that I ha...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

If you would like to pay for the testing you want I would be happy to do it. As I said before almost $550 for a V-Box is way outside my reach to quantify something I already know. Since you see to think otherwise why don't you pay for some tests to prove YOUR point. This has played out on the "...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

It's like this. With a fixed power output you can change the gearing. Longer gearing gives higher top speed and lower acceleration Shorter gearing gives lower top speed and higher acceleration If you want higher acceleration and higher top speed you must increase the power available. A JCosta on it...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

Acceleration is fantastic and top speed i dont see much difference from the stock same top speed as with the original 15gr o...
