Go Anywhere Bike

Post by rendra »

Hi all,

Been following the forum but had not post until now.

I'm located in Indonesia and has been riding a 2013 Honda PCX150 for 7 months now. My odo is close to 4k kilometers.

I love my PCX as it appears to have the 'go anywhere' capability. Been using the bike for mixed pavement touring, and some of the trails were purely outback trails. The PCX performed excellently that I forgot having an enduro trial bike which I usually used for my tourings.

Not much modifications on my bike. I just have a Givi windshield and top box, an Arrow M10 exhaust, change the rollers with a lighter one plus stiffer clutch springs. For the tires I put Michellin M45 dual purpose 110/80-14 tires on both wheels.

Here's a video clip of my last touring trip to the Ujung Kulon National Park in West Java, Indonesia http://youtu.be/wHtuBOl2vc0

Some photos of the bike on my adventure trips...

Did you change the shocks or are they original? Hopefully you aren't using a pressure washer to wash your scooter. Love those tires!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and compliments :)

Mel46: The bike is nearly full stock, all the suspensions are original. I mostly ride alone, and with all my gear and supplies the stock suspension works just nice.

Now thinking of tuning the bike with the Takegawa bore up kit to make it 170cc. Overall the current power output is okay, but with a little addition I believe would become fully satisfactory. Is there anyone in this forum that has experience with the Takegawa bore-up kit for PCX150?

Cheers!

Sadly no one here has the bore-up kit yet for the 150, but you are welcome to be the first.
