Thus your top speed. This is why I'm saying upgrade your variator first. Your rpms are constant until the variator is completely extended then you start to raise rpms to redline. The longer the ramps the higher speed you are at before you reach lockup

If the ramps were clean it would be easier to see this. You can see how the two ramps in focus do not reach the top of the pulley. They are shorter than those on the orange pulley. This limits how high the belt can ride and your gear ratio.

ill take a picture of a stock variator later to show how the ramps are different

heres an example of an aftermarket variator that has full length ramps

Here is a picture from Maddiedog's thread. A large screen like he has will prevent much speed over 70mph. The takegawa variator is a good start to a solid performing scooter.

It's not that it's larger, it's the fact that the ramps are full length. The stock variator ramps won't allow the weights to go out fully. The ramps are cut short so just swapping to ANY aftermarket variator will provide gains. I'll try and upload a comparison picture.

You will find that you have a great improvement with the sliders in acceleration and midrange power however your top speed will only improve by 1-2 mph

I would order the takegawa variator through webike and put your sliders in. That will make a MAJOR improvement. Probably by 8-10 mph on your top speed. The stock variator severely limits the pcx. The ends of the ramps are squared off.

Wingz there is power to go faster, it's just a matter of faster with the ability to hold speed up hills that becomes an issue. I'm just trying to help you see that a variator is a much better option than the gear kit. The stock variator limits you to 68 mph before your weights are bouncing around. Y...

There is not. Enough power with the 150 to take advantage they said. It was suggested to install a big bore kit and larger throttle body first. Their variator will give you up to 150kph or 93 mph. With a stock 150 we are expected to reach 135-140 kph. I will find out soon as mine is on its way acros...

Mel, I assume it was the latch that you adjusted?

Pcx 150 with 3,000 miles, givi 322, 170lb rider, NCY drive face and variator with 13g rollers, 75 mph on flat in upright position, 77 mph down hill.

Wingz, I conversed back and forth with Yuminashi with the same idea in mind. I was told that with my 150 unless I had a 31mm throttle body or big bore kit I would not be happy with the results. I currently have a yuminashi Variator in the mail and will be posting results shortly after I get it. Thei...

You don't actually need to replace the speed sensor, just modify it. Pcxdemon knows about this.

whats your top speed with the malossi variator? Also how do you like your yss shocks? which model are they?

A givi 322 makes a world of difference.

Hey everyone, my Yuminashi vario is in the mail.

So we all know that dr pulley sliders are a great product. I also enjoy my NCY variator, it's an ok piece that raised my pcx 150 top speed to 77 mph down hill and 75 mph on flat ground. I trie using sliders in this variator... Twice. Something about the coating in the NCY variator does not mix with ...

Yuminashi is supposed to be the best product hands down. Pcx racing out of France can ship to you or motorsports nation here in the states. If going with webike the suggested variator would be takegawa.

If my new pcx was using oil I'd be talking to my service dept

I would open the air box to see if there was any oil in it. Never overfill an engine. The dipstick has a "fill range" on it. Your oil level should be in that range. You said you did the first oil change yourself. Is your pcx using oil?
