This product looks nice although I have not tried it.

Just check how much power the heated apparel requires. People hear "heat" and then assume it is big power like a kettle or hair-dryer or room heater. But if it is a jacket lining or glove lining then it shouldn't require much power. For example, a typical heater/kettle/hair-dryer is 2000W ...

There is nothing unpleasant about a straight 6 engine.

Is it possible to remove the circlip first?

CIRCLIP (40MM)

The 1st thing that came to mind was to use heat. As gn2 suggested.
You can also use the heat to draw in some lube.
I like your aluminium press device. I would tighten it up and then whack the bolt with a hammer after heating and lubing the seizure.

Two disclaimers regarding testing on the stand: 1. It might not be a good idea due to vibration. Be careful not to break something. 2. It is not intended to accurately simulate real world conditions. I believe it is more helpful though, because it gives one more control over the test conditions. Wha...

The one posted by Scompton1 is Hi/Lo : http://japan.webike.net/products/21192097.html
Looking at the pictures and connection diagram, the HID globe has 2 burners.

Has anyone here tried the kit?

Gravity is 9.81m/s^2. If you have a 1/10 slope then the additional acceleration contributed by gravity is (1/10)*9.81 [m/s^2]. Regarding your formula, I got confused when I didn't get 120... then realised that it gives answer in mph. Thanks, it is a nice formula. What you learn on the stand is what ...

I think for the sake of testing variators for top speed, I would test it on the stand (if I can reduce the vibration it currently has). Testing on the stand doesn't show much as there is no real-world wind resistance. Top speed at 13.5 hp is about 120 from TS=Cx(HP^1/3) Using 31.5 as the constant (...

its a twist and go scooter...does it really matter ? I look at my speedometer whenever I want to know what speed I'm travelling. Sure I don't care if the speedometer is 10% out as long as I know about it. Then I can estimate my actual speed which is important to me... I wouldn't have looked at the ...

I really considered putting an outlet on my wife's PCX but she said no. I had planned on putting it above the place where the gas cap is situated. Where above the gas cap? I installed mine mainly because my phone runs out of juice quite quickly when using GPS. I fitted the leftover USB plug (from t...

You people are too serious. Read GN's comment with a scotch accent and it doesn't sound offensive. Frankly, loud pipes are more far offensive than GN's comments. See, his comments can only offend those who choose to read them... and then choose to be offended. Loud pipes disturb entire neighbourhood...

I agree. The PCX is a beautiful work of art.

Also, I would right a short review for the product on their website.
eg: This mask does not fit the PCX. I emailed Bikerbits and they did not respond. Very disappointing.

I made and installed USB charging point on my PCX150 this morning. Ingredients: USB extension cable from old computer. 5V regulator from old printer (see photo below). Small heatsink from old UPS 2 capacitors and some wire. 1.jpg Finished product: 2.JPG Connected +input to the headlight fuse so that...

I bought this Honda PCX Variator which was custom made by Mad Max Bangkok Shop. I get a very stable upper end top speed of 110km/h. thats it? i do 109km/h with stock variator. One has to specify whether that is true speed or speedometer reading, otherwise the numbers are meaningless. My PCX150 is s...

How it works..someone more technical may answer that question better. I know it has an removable attachment next to one of the lobes,i assume an intake one? Takegawa cam comes without it supplied but it has made provision for it that one can reuse from the stock cam. The only thing is you need a pr...

I found this stuff quite interesting to read. High level explanations of the some of the technology used in the PCX: decompression feature, swing-back, efficiency improvements, engine optimization, offset cylinder, spiny sleeve, transmission. Some lovely pictures and animations in there. Idling stop...

If he's only doing 20mph, then the shitest black tyres will do, right?
I think I could take that corner faster on my PXC with Dunlop TT900 tyres.
But I'm not familiar with the IRCs.

I don't think fantasy speeds have any relevance to a discussion concerning grip around tight corners.
