Shitty posting / flaming in the Performance forum
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 10:19 pm
Since the PCX is an economy vehicle, there is understandably a lot of opposition to performance mods. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and therefore, free discussion should be allowed about performance, just as with anything else on this forum.
Because of the opposition to performance, most threads have historically degraded quickly, resulting in frustration of those posting, and real actual results completely hidden. My logic here is (for those of you against mods) -- the people who are modding and discussing it are not costing you anything. If you don't like what they do, don't read this subforum.
I'd like to see more people freely discussing performance mods unhindered by flame wars, to encourage potentially cheap solutions for performance. An example I'd like to cite is the "K-Mod" for the Honda Reflex. Through people's trial and error, they found a free way to adjust the stock variator to deliver more optimal power for most usage scenarios. If performance threads keep on track, and useful information is found, we might together find a cheap or free way to slightly improve the top speed of the PCX -- which is a MAJOR problem for many riders.
The thread inspiring this poll: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=600. As usual, I will NEVER censor you, edit your posts, or delete them. The offensive or off-topic posts will simply be moved off to the (locked) Drama and Bullcrap subforum, where they can go to die.
Please answer with your opinion in the poll above. As before, I wish to stay as hands-off in moderation as possible, but I feel some occasional moderation may be necessary to encourage civil behavior here.
