2016 PCX top speed!

[dako]

Hello everyone,
Just bought a 2016 PCX 125 and its come to my attention that its top speed is around 60mph.
Due to the fact that I do long distance journeys this is a bit too slow.
Could I increase the top speed by purchasing lighter rollers? or perhaps an different exhaust?
Not looking to make it a speed demon but at least 65mph.
Please no comments telling me to get a bigger bike would rather make a small adjustment and keep this bike as I love it!

Where are you from? If your terrain is relatively flat, you might be ok.
Exhaust might give you 1 horsepower, but it's not enough to make the PCX a highway demon. Honestly there isn't much that will improve the top speed, unless you want to spend a lot of money. You can change some parts of the CVT transmission, not that expensive and easy to do, so that the engine stays at its peak power for longer but it won't increase the power needed for the scoot to increase it's drag limited speed.

If you want more power, then only the Big bore kits can satisfy that, but by then a bigger scooter might do the job better.

Welcome to our forum(s) dako
I'm in agreement with Gil's comment and suggestions.
But....we're gathering that You Want more....still.

So, my suggestion: is to put aside some time to research and read (most of us have time now due to covid19). Find our "Technical" and "Performance" Boards and browse through them looking for topics on More Speed (this is a very common question).
You will find topics with all the answers you're looking for....Plus photos!

Once you provide your location, we can get a better idea of where we can point you for parts and recommendations.

My guess right now. On your location is that you are from somewhere in Europe. I say that based on the fact that you have a 2016 125cc. In many parts of the world 2016 PCX was a 150cc. I know there are regulations in Europe that make the 125cc version more attainable for many riders than the 150cc model.

I'm not sure how the extra 5mph will matter in a long trip but yeah you can try changing the rollers.

Upgrade your Variator and Driveface.

Im cruising 65 with ease and max 77mph on my 2017.
