Re: Ride, hike@fly, ride

How do you find the little round convex mirrors? They look like a good substitute for my upper arm reflections.

Re: 2015+ North American PCX150 (LED) Variator Mod Feedback

Hey Chicaboo, No flat spots. Not quite the right question since the 10g rollers have the perceived affect of jumping the rpms up and keeping them steadily at revs that I would guess were close to 40mph (at about 15mph up until that speed) with the stock setup. Like mercilessly slipping the clutch o...

Re: Theoretical muffler question!

I dare not take the baffle off my Realize exhaust. As it is it probably annoys other road users less than me, but it's great car repellent after all.

It makes ploppy farty sounds and is quite terrible. Only slightly better with just a header pipe.

Re: Trade the PCX for this PCXish motorcycle?

The deluxe models (adds ABS, traction control, center stand, heated grips, self cancelling turn signals, more suspension adjustments) had an original sticker of 13,499 (I think base was 12,499) but Honda has recently dropped the MSRP for both models on their website Good grief I wouldn't know how t...

How about a more realistic situation, in that a 4 to 6 week defensive driving course be mandatory before the issuance of even a learner's permit?

Re: Just rollers vs complete variator

A BBK of around 190~200cc is a worthy upgrade, but the cost of having it shipped and installed starts to make it unobtainable. That's why I've been thinking that a TB+IM+injector+valve springs and Fcon might be a cheap way out, while paving the way for a BBK perhaps maybe one day. Who knows, Honda m...

Re: Just rollers vs complete variator

What I like about the PCX is that its a comfortable size, while the Forza 300 and Burgman 400 are on the big side and lose part of the charm I like about scooters. The PCX is perfectly adequate for the type of riding I do, but I do want more power and acceleration without having to ride a behemoth o...

Re: 170cc cylinder kit question

I know someone out there has put a big bore kit on their PCX 150, I just can't remember who! My question is what mpg reduction do you have compared to the original 150cc mpg? Is the little engine upgrade worth it? I presume that is done not increase your top end speed, as the rev limiter stays the ...

Re: Just rollers vs complete variator

Thanks Scooty, That's a very comprehensive post you put together there, and I appreciate the feedback. It seems the 2015 LED doesn't quite have the gearing as the older 2012 OWL does. Regardless, I'll see how I go with just the sliders while I try and chase acceleration. At this point I feel I need ...
