How does it feel driving on thoose 120/70-14 and 140/70-14?
I really consider going down to my local shop to get theese mounted as well.
I have no opportunity to do it myself.

Feels very stable and safe. The City Grip is the best you can do to keep upright on challenging surfaces. You will not be able to drop your 2016 PCX off and pick it up later with these tires mounted unless your mechanic is willing to raise the rear fender 1/2 inch and space off the breather box 1/2 inch. Best you remove the wheels yourself and take them in for the tires then watch my video on the minor modification to the rear fender finishing the job right.

Thanks for the reply :-)
Guess i'll have to pass on this then, sadly.
I have no option what so ever to do this myself, i have to use my local Honda shop for everything not cosmetic.

I understand, tinkering with the precious is not for those with a busy professional lifestyle. You can still get off the stock rubber with better tires as there have been too many slips over the years most of which are listed below.

I'm not really living the busy proffesionel lifestyle. But I am located in Spain, and live in a nice apartment next to the ocean, so dont have any garage, and i park on the street. Besides that it is illegal to fix cars/bikes on the street down here. The heck, i dont even have the tools for such things, though i would be able to do it myself.

My plan was to get the City grip mounted sooner or later, only heard good things about them.
Will head down to my local shop and ask if they are up for the task about modding a bit, and if it will affect my warranty somehow.

PCX aside, I love your deck and yard.

Perfect! Wait! We need a Keg!
Sounds right? All in favor say Aye!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO HOMIE! I heard you mentioned me What a bro! Cheers videoman!
(Shhh....You forgot to mention your rear fender cut, Tag yer it!)

Do I have a photo of My "Precious?" Me? But of course. Firstly, I must dress her up, then I shall return.
Anyone else posting their "Precious" here?

C'mon 2yous, it's been awhile since we've seen yer "Precious" Red with Gator saddle

Everyone's got a fav pic of their "Precious!"
Bring it on..............screen

WhiteNoise you probably watched the video on your phone or pad where the notes are not visible. Folks using their computers see more description, links and information in text throughout the vid. Yes! my yard was always first choice for outdoor activities and neighborhood kegger's But then I went and got old soooo... get off my lawn!

Excellent vid homie - you have very tasteful mods!

Here's my favorite pic of, er, oh my God, I haven't named my PCX yet Anyway, here she is on her way to a Halloween party

Bummer that those tires scrub off some speed. I can't afford to lose any speed, given I need to get on the highway to "escape." My scoot, Sunday on the Coast Highway.

that 13 stock would outrun mine even if I kept the vario and put tiny tires back on... you have pre 15 gearing

I'd be more comfortable with 70mph. It's been dropping from 68 max to 65 recently. That's just a bit slow on a California freeway.

Jge64, you like chrome
the springs, exhaust, magazi mirrors and bar-ends are all nice in chrome for that PCX

Just enuf, and only as a spot of it, on my cars I'm all black/no chrome, but on the bike the bits of chrome works.....it's pretty hard to do an all black look when the stock triple clamp area on the dash is all bling'd up. Chrome fits here, IMO

A link to my album as the resolution limit here is ridiculous. Nobody uses 1024x768 these days

Well my little 2013 has been sitting in the basement for months now. There is no reason for keeping both bikes on the carport now, since my wife can't ride. When I need/want to go somewhere on the bike I take my wife'sew because hers can go 75 mph.
Lanesplitter, if you want better performance from your 2013 here are the secrets:
1. Change your belt. As the belt wears, your speed drops.
2. Change your rollers. Some have had great luck with 13 gram sliders, while others have 13 gram rollers. Your choice.
3. Change your variator AND drive face to NCY.
4. Get a tall windshield to help divert the wind from your body.
The first three of these should and could be done at the same time. Buy the variator and drive face from corsportusa.com ...

If you can't do the swap, have the shop do it. You won't regret it.

While it's been posted before, this is probably my favorite PCX shot so far.
