Honda Air Blade

Post by JaeMelo »

Hey guys,
I recently got my hands on this new 2015 Honda Air Blade that has been sitting on the show room floor for quiet sometime. It shares the exact same block/transmission from PCX 125i esp model. I'll most likely be spending my next paycheck on a Yuminashi 150cc/164cc kit and probably their variator kit and this exhaust for a 150.

Here are the nudes ;)

Once you got the tuning bug, I'd look into fitting the larger PCX brakes up front to slow you down from those hairy 164cc speeds. :-)

Neat bike, congrats! That frontal close up of the headlights looks like an owl face! Very cool!

Update :D

All I can say is wow... This thing is ridiculously powerful now. I can't wait for the cams and torque driver to go in just to see the difference it'll make up top.

Nice going, but you're strangling lots of untapped power by using that stock exhaust with a BBK.

Yup I am aware of that. This is just a temporary solution until these guys over here have my exhaust ready. The cat is basically gutted out along with the added wider down pipe. I'm hoping this'll do the trick along because it definitely satisfies my sleeper obsession. :)

Hey Jae, I see a fellow Bermudian. I stay up by Spanish point and see you had posted on here about your mods for your airblade looking sic btw. Just trying to verify that a pcx exhaust fits on the airblade although mine is the Vietnam model so a lil different body wise than yours. I am just trying to get a few smaller parts first ie exhaust clutch and the like and its proving very hard for me to find. Any help you can give would be great.

Regards
Bobby

Also I see you say you put a pcx 150 exhaust on the bbk so it look like the body mounts for the exhaust are the same but do you know if that downpipe would bolt up to the stock 125 and if so what year/model pcx exhaust did you use.

Hey mate, I've seen the 2016 airblade in person and the engine is exactly the same as the 2015. Mine also has a vietnemies manual under the seat so we're on the same boat. The only difference between your bike and, mine are the body plastics. Im 100% sure you'll be able to put a PCX 150 exhaust on it without a problem.

btw if you need front clutches I am about to put in another order in a few days for a standalone ecu, I can grab a clutch also; however I will say that the stock clutch is perfectly fine... The real power comes from the lighter rollers that come in those front clutch/variator kits. If I were to drop 6x 10gram or 8gram rollers in your stock clutch right now you'll feel the same power as buying that $200 clutch from cycle care.
