The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Nobody seems to care about improving performance on this forum except for a couple of us out there. lol

Installed Lowering kit front and rear. Sinatlled an exhaust from Wirus-Win and a Chimera Intake system. Changed out the handlebars and upgraded the tire size. A good amount of CVT tuning to make it accelerate better and increased the top end around 10MPH. Also added ancle bitter CVT covers too. and ...

Im going to go on a whim and say the Crank shaft that the Variator rides on is all the same from a 125cc and 150cc.

Most Variators say 125/150cc application.

Comes thru the hole you see, goes thru the screen and drains thru the bottom cut out... Its fine. lol

OK OK enough is enough. No one on this forum has a PCX 150 that will consistently run 75mph without a displacement upgrade. Downhill doesn't count. Tailwind,,,great but doesn't count. Alice went down that rabbit hole and Physics filled it in and she's lost. Stop the madness! Consistent "cruisi...

ha ha hah. That's Great.

I did the 2 feet on the clutch assembly and slowly step off. These Contra's dont have compression like a car spring or something lol

How about the pillow springs? What kind of effect would there be, if I changed to heavier ones? I have a lot of experience with Clutch engagement and Contra spring experimenting. Pillow Springs I never experimented since all my tuning life i didnt have any on any of my scooters but I know what they...

The higher clutch engagement is due to stiffer engagement springs. That is not the contra spring. Contra spring changes the rate of shifting.

Go with softer engagement springs if you want lower engagement.

I would second finding a local welder. Any time I buy anything from Webike I just mentally prepare myself for it being no warranty or anything given the language barrier and how long it takes to even receive someone you order. You could be down months while you wait for shipping. Any shop that has a...

Any part numbers?

My objective was more top end, not how fast I could get there. If you tune the CVT correctly, you can obtain great acceleration, and retain top end speed. The goal is to go as light as possible with the weights but heavy enough to get full Variator travel. Allowing the belt to fully travel, instead...

I have a '17 and I got almost 10mph increase in speed with just a Variator and Driveface.

Just did some research and it looks like the 17-18 still have the same gear ratios. The 2019+ have the steeper gears, Thus giving you less top end even with an aftermarket Variator.

I just got a quote of $75 to do the job. It's the only legit service center and scooter dealer on SI so I'm going to pay the $75. Looking forward to trying out these City Grip 2s! That's a really good price given you have to remove the exhaust, Swing arm and changing both tires. You will love the t...

I'll be the disgraceful one then. ha ha ha. Cant go around caring what others think of my "wicked" ways. ha ha ha

This is not Facebook. You dont get quick responses. lol

I think I answered you on FB too... Newer PCX's have shorter gears so they don't respond to Variators as good as the older models.

Disgraceful? lmao Settle down morality captains. Its Harbor freight, King of Crap tools, they are not a small mom and pop shop, not putting anyone out of business.

Dont be mad you didnt think of it before.

Remove the wheels yourself. If you don't have the tools (Like I didn't) go to harbor freight. Buy an electric impact and socket set (under $100). Then remove the wheels, take them to a mom and pop shop that will charge $20 or less for both. Then install and return all the tools you bought. Ive had s...

The IAC is #7 in the diagram. Not really a way to test it but only by cleaning it.
As for the Speed sensor. Thats back by the tire on the top of the Swingarm.

I had the idle issue. Turned out the IACV was bad. Unfortunately for me I had to change the entire Throttle body and Wire harness given 2017 models are weird in between models.

Try cleaning your IAC. see if that helps.
As for the speedo, No clue maybe a bad speed sensor?

Would you mind providing the exact sizes again and tell me where you purchased them from? You literally didn't even have to move the tire splash guards? Literally no alterations at all? I just got my bike but I'm very tempted to give these a shot! Front Tire: 120/70-14 Rear tire: 140/70-14 City Gri...
