Now, there's something the US military hasn't thought of: parachuting a division into combat mounted upon their trusty 85MPH PCX150s!

... I believe the cvt is restrictive and filing the ends smooth of the disc that holds weights is a way to overcome this restriction. Can anyone offer a replacement cvt so that I can overcome this or any other restriction so that I may realize a higher top end? Caution is recommended in pushing the...

Re: 2021 PCX 160/125 owner’s review thread

I have spoken to a salesman at this dealership (scrubbed from attached photo since it's not relevant), inquiring as to why their price of a used 2021 PCX exceeds the MSRP of a new model by $700... He just stared at me wordlessly, at which I bid him well and departed. Note also, that they tack a mini...

Re: Just need to say I'm blown away that people doubt and refuse to believe the 21 can hit 85mph

Here's the link. Just guessing that the "85" is a typo of the intended 65. After perusing TopSpeed's pages for independent, trustworthy, and "hands-on" reviews on a half-dozen or so bikes over the years, it became obvious that the contributors are outstanding copy/paste artists ...

Re: Just need to say I'm blown away that people doubt and refuse to believe the 21 can hit 85mph

Assuming identical environmental conditions for calculating top speed, i.e.; weight, air pressure, fuel, temperature, humidity, etc. or Since the frontal area of the PCX lineage is roughly the same, just assume one machine is tested with different engines; If 13.5hp (9918 watts) / 10.3 ft/lbs. prope...

Re: WOT for a full tank...

While any engine can be run at 100% of design power, its life will be shortened. For example, even the stalwart Rotax aircraft motors run at the operational limit of 75% (ignore the 91% in the engineering design chart - it's for show) can have a TBO of just a few hundred hours. On one of my routes t...

Re: Average cost to remove and replace both tires?

I ride at every opportunity, and so, decided early on to learn to change my own tires in order to be proficient at it if needed, to save money, and to be of service to friends in the hobby - through the years, all have come to pass. The cheap HF tire changer, a couple of quality spoons, Dyna beads, ...

Re: PCX 150 Rear Tire On Front Wheel

Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom gn2. The tire has only a 'rear' symbol so I'll use it appropriately, and purchase a new front. I see that Michelin has a Pilot in our size and will try that.

PCX 150 Rear Tire On Front Wheel

I searched and searched but found no existing inquiry to answer this so, sorry if I messed up.

I happen to have an extra, new, 100/90-14 rear tire for my PCX 150. I need to replace the front tire. Does anyone know if the rear will fit / work on the front wheel?
Thanks!
