New Tires and New Mods....
Hello, folks! How are you guys doing?
Just want to share something new on my PCX.
Before, I have changed the stock exhaust to a mugen stock and the pulley set (Kitaco)
[Check my previous post: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2043]
They gave me good experience but I want some more.
Therefore, I have do some more mods on it.
I have purchased:
<1> VARIATOR MULTIVAR 2000
http://www.malossistore.eu/en/products/ ... ASM&Type=M
<2> MAXI DELTA SYSTEM (Clutch BELL Ø 125)
http://www.malossistore.eu/en/products/ ... ASM&Type=M
<3> 31 Intake
http://japan.webike.net/products/9658855.html
<4> Pirelli Diablo
Now, all I could say is that the pcx take off faster and the top speed just had improved a little bit.
The tire is much better than the stock too. Here is the some photos of my PCX.

Re: New Tires and New Mods....
Does that intake fill up with water when it rains? It looks like the rear tire is wearing very quickly.

That is one of the things that I worried about too. However, there isn't any rain in my area yet.sendler2112 wrote:Does that intake fill up with water when it rains? It looks like the rear tire is wearing very quickly.
However, there is a filter inside it, so I think the water won't go in.

Re: New Tires and New Mods....
That Diablo looks like the grip should be good, although to be fair the stock IRC's during this very wet and frosty weather in the UK seem to be better than was made out - at least for town use and 30-40 mph roads and bends. Getting a bid worried now with heavy rain and freezing over-night conditions - not good for early morning commuting.
Re: New Tires and New Mods....
Mr. RoederChan,
When we riding man? I see you near my work once in a while. Anyhow we should do a little ride or something, at least a meet n greet. Maybe we can get Scooterman out in Point Loma to cruse out. Bike is looking pretty darn good man. next mod should be the blinker relocation into the headlight. It's not that difficult, but time consuming of course.

Re: New Tires and New Mods....
Are bald tyres the evil we all fear? I know in the road bicycle world, slicks is the best tyres to use in the wet (and dry) not only for the better efficiency but they are the best at gripping the road as the gap created by treads on say a mountain bike would create pockets where the tyre doesn't touch the ground (we're talking pure tarmac conditions). If you slide on a road bike, it's more likely to be from things like painted lines and metal manholes or expansion joints on the road for which treaded tyres is still not going to save you anyway.iceman wrote:That Diablo looks like the grip should be good, although to be fair the stock IRC's during this very wet and frosty weather in the UK seem to be better than was made out - at least for town use and 30-40 mph roads and bends.

I remember a calculator that does the calculations on at what tyre width would you start to see aquaplaning but I can't seem to find it but anyway, would our cheese cutter width bald tyres be all that much of an issue if we're only say going at most 80km/h (4x odd mph).

Re: New Tires and New Mods....
The stock IRC's are made out to be very good by me. I still have the original front on at 18,000 miles. They are exceptional on the CBR250R also with excellent wet grip and the rear lasted 12,000.iceman wrote: although to be fair the stock IRC's during this very wet and frosty weather in the UK seem to be better than was made out .

Re: New Tires and New Mods....
I tend to let my tires wear really low but they do have a little less traction. The bigger problem is the flat spot around the middle. It give the handling an edgy feel as you bank in across the corner of the flat spot. I re-ground my rear tire on the CBR250R twice to round it off again.
