Re: 2025 US model PCX - phone mount

Personally, I think those plastics on the bars looks hideous. Then again I think the stock bars on all PCX are ugly (hence me changing out my bars to Z-bars.

I would suggest just removing the plastic covers and exposing the bars to use a traditional Bar Mount. Or you can notch the plastics.

Re: 2025 Honda PCX 160 US model

I am almost decided to trade in my 2021 PCX for the 2025 - just so that I can get the 6-year Honda warranty extension. My son rides this in college and I need trouble free riding for him. I know these scooters - just about nothing goes wrong but I need some peace of mind. The dealer told me he has ...

Re: PCX2025 with upgraded rear shocks

I feel the stock rear shocks are the softest shocks out there. Most aftermarket would be stiffer, I could be wrong.

I run some Takegawa lowering rear shocks. They are stiff but I run them bc they are shorter than stock which is what I wanted since I lowered the front.

Re: Rubber swingarm bushing squeak

Spray everything down with some WD40. Spring, bounce it, spray, bounce it. Should be easy to isolate the issue. Then once you find the issue, you can just wash off the WD40 from where its not needed and then use the Silicone spray.

Re: Tire size purchase problems?

If a shop ordered the wrong tires once, I would never use them again. I always buy my tires online myself sized to match what's on the bike. Partzilla is my go-to for everything scooter related.

I know the newer PCX has a 14 front 13 rear. Unlike the 14 front/rear like older model PCX's.

Re: honda discontinued the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) for 2

You have the same issue I had way back in the days with my 2017. From what I learned, 2017 and some 2018 have cross over parts from the parts bin. The original sensor and the replacement might not be the same on the mounting surface either. What I had to do was change a small section of the wire har...

Re: 2016 PCX top speed!

By changing the weights you can get the engine to rev to max power rpm (8300?) which will increase top speed on a 125 to 122kph or about 75 mph. Your weight may vary. Larger drive face as you say will also help unless it raises the gearing to a point where the engine cannot rev to max. Thats incorr...

Re: 2016 PCX top speed!

My 2016 pcx150 is standard and tops out at 63 or 64mph. I was told if I change roller weights I could get 67 to 69mph. Mine has givi 30ltr top box and touring screen. It is grey colour. Awesome scooters. Change the Variator. Weights alone doesn't do much besides increase or decrease your accelerati...

But from what you said it would seem that at least one of the three assumptions is inaccurate. From your years of experience can you tell me where I'm making my logical error.

Re: Stock variator performance

I run a tach on all my CVT bikes. Best way to properly tune the variator. I spent decades perfecting my CVT tuning skills for speed. Variator will never "consistently" start to shift at the same rpm. It's much more dependent on more load vs less load, a heavier rider vs a lighter rider or ...

Re: PCX Borekit upgrade Final Drive

I have taken apart my transmission a number of times. You will need a bearing puller, and you might be able to get a couple of the bearings off with some deep sockets. https://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/c7f358f04aec81e7c5e0be4c56edf041/6/2/62601_zzz_alt1_500.jpg?auto=webp&...

You are better off hiding an air tag. This is going to drain your battery since it has to constantly be getting power.

Re: fuel tuner

Personally, if you are going to mess with the AF, I would recommend a wideband along with the Tuner. I have intake and exhaust, and just reading the plug it runs a pinch on the lean side. Only real benefit for a stock bore bike IMO would be is to raise the rev limiter assuming you are bouncing the l...

Re: Honda PCX or ADV?

If you ever plan to do some backroads/off roading/dirt riding, get an ADV. Better ground clearance.

PCX is for road riding only. Of course, you can go on dirt roads with a PCX but the ground clearance is not as good. Sleeker.

Re: Bits in the transmission

That's the bearing that failed on me. Mine was really hard to get out. I tried a bearing puller, but it kept slipping out. In the end had to weld a steel rod to the old bearing to pull it out. I can't believe you've been through 2 bearings. There must be a problem somewhere? A misalignment or simil...
