PCX tuning
Can any one tell me where the restriction on a pcx is also if it has a restriction to the revs i.e ignition
Re: PCX tuning
The on-board PCM module has a rev limiter. I believe that the max RPM limit is 9,600.

In some ways that is part of its charm
It's not hugely restricted. It's naturally slow
I know this wouln't help you

Re: PCX tuning
I've been going through the Performance section and seeing lots of you poo-poo'ing on people's mods. Stop it, or I'll have to prevent you from posting in this forum like I had to prevent GN2.you you wrote:Beast?Slickvic wrote:The on-board PCM module has a rev limiter.

If people want to mod their PCX for more performance, that's on them. Let them have productive discussions without interfering, please, and encourage their work. It's not your place to offer discouragement.

Re: PCX tuning
Since Clubpcx is gone now, did anyone happen to copy the tuning section to this forum? I was interested in what it said. I know the PCX has restrictions but it is interesting to read about what people have done to get around the restrictions. I have heard that they actually race these scooters over on the 'far side' of the world. (And to them, we are the far side:-)
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150
Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

Now that would be interesting and a bit of "new ground"

Apparently I failed to remove your permissions.
I'll look into it later. Not willing to mess with it now.
