Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

I have always turned wrenches but I finally found it time to get an impact wrench (corded) and I also ordered the variator tool (mainly because I have seen people use it for both the variator and clutch). My plan is to keep this scoot for a looooonnnnggggg time, so both tools will most definitely co...

Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

Good job man! The experience of tooling your own bike and a careful honest assessment of the aftermarket products will be appreciated. Go find yourself a nice stretch of highway where there are no twists or turns, no heavy traffic and no police 8) It will be hard to put the heavier rollers back in....

Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

Installed everything today. Not sure if I am a big fan yet, but I only road for a few minutes (literally not more than 3 minutes). What I noticed, revs a lot quicker... and you can feel it with quicker acceleration, but you can also hear it with higher revs. Most definitely does not feel the same as...

Re: Spark Plug Part Number Help

We use the iridium's in our super high temperature Harley engines because they run cooler... perhaps not suited for little 150cc water cooled engines. If you experience problems take it back out first and use the OEM recommended plug before looking elsewhere for issues. Will do. I will keep my stoc...

Re: Spark Plug Part Number Help

Thanks for your help Homie. I puchased the NGK 9198 CPR7EAIX-9 IX Iridium Plug. Looks like it should do the trick, but I will let you know next week. Still not sure why the last 4 digits would be different. I know that I will get blasted for getting this plug as over kill and not needed, but I just ...

Yes, that is the stock/oem plug. I was looking at the iridium plug.
I will check out the specs and see if they match up.

Thanks for your help

Re: Spark Plug Part Number Help

Most of the info I found on the CPR7EAIX-9 4848 is from other countries and CPR7EAIX-9 9198 is mostly from the USA.
Specs seems to be close if not exact, but I just want to be sure.
Thank you.... Thank you

Spark Plug Part Number Help

Hello and a pre-thank you for your help. To keep it simple, which plug will fit the PCX and/or are these the same part? I have been searching all over google for the info. The closest that I can come to is one is sold over seas, and one is for the USA, but hopefully they are the same part. NGK CPR7E...

Good to see you on the forum, tcpcx13. Whereabouts in TX are you located? I am from Big D originally, though now living far to the north. Also all-Honda, with a 2015 PCX and a 2002 Accord. I am from a little farther down South, here in San Antonio. Lived in St. Louis for a while, but happy to be ba...

Re: NCY variator and rollers

When are you planning on putting in your new parts? I currently have mine here with me now but I will not be doing the install for about 2 more weeks. I love the stock performance of my scoot and I cannot imagine if it was even a little bit more quicker than it is now.

Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

Here is a picture so people can see what they would be getting if they choose to go with the rollers and NCY. I chose these rollers because of availability in USA, and because they work with the aftermarket pulley/drive face. I want both quicker acceleration when needed and higher top speed when nee...

Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

You have to have gloves to ride at that temp. I scooted up to Walmart the other night and even though I had on my running gloves my hands were frozen after my 20 minute round trip. Keep scooting and enjoying yourself, no need to post a video. I enjoy turning a wrench and learning about my vehicle so...

Very good find on the tool to keep everything from spinning while trying to tighten bolts on the variator and clutch. My parts just came in today but I will not do the install for a few more weeks. I did get the 13G rollers because of everyone saying they are the best fit for our scoot. Are you stil...

Re: Rollers vs Sliders ? Which is better

I am sure that you are one of the reasons why I am buying the NCY setup Homie. I read through so many posts collecting info, and I know that I read lots of your posts.
Are you currently using the NCY products, and if so how long and how is everything holding up?
