as someone who's had 3 PCX's (2 125's and a 150, one of the 125's was fitted with a J Coster variator)....
i would like to say...
understand that this is a small capacity single cylinder auto scooter.......a new variator, will give you a little improvement in acceleration / top speed - but its not going to be like swapping to a 250cc...
Even if you changed the variator, and put on a "performance" (FFS) exhaust / filter, i'd say the cost and the faffing around factor are hardly worth it....
Just enjoy your pcx for what it is...a cheap and cheerful little scooter.....

Re: fuel economy improvements
I think everyone gets your point by the number of times you have posted this but if people want to spend cash tinkering with their bikes it's up to them. It's not hurting anyone and it gives them something to talk about. Where's the harm in that.hatari wrote:as someone who's had 3 PCX's (2 125's and a 150, one of the 125's was fitted with a J Coster variator)....

I spent a grand total of £13.50 on a set of sliders and it did improve the performance in my opinion. Next time I will give the money to the worlds starving instead if it makes the difference.

Rather put that money towards a more expensive scooter.Alibally wrote: I spent a grand total of £13.50 on a set of sliders and it did improve the performance in my opinion. Next time I will give the money to the worlds starving instead if it makes the difference.
