Re: Windscreen Extension Mod
Hey, whatever works for you is good. However, you might consider where your body will go if you crash, and hope that little item doesn't cut your head off. It does work. The wings are mounted on rubber washers & I can bend them by hand while riding so they're not likely cut anything more substa...

Re: Windscreen Extension Mod
Oh man you are reading my mind. I was thinking of that the last couple weeks. Will definitely try it now. Cutting your head off? I have tinnitus, so reducing noise while riding reduces the intensity of the tinnitus during and after the ride. I use musicians ear plugs by Alpine, that reduce the volu...

Windscreen Extension Mod
Now I realize that some of you, who find the aesthetically unconventional indigestible, may think this looks weird but it works! I've only done a short trial run but the little wings cut out 90% of turbulent noise. You get clean air wind noise - like not having a faring, without the wind in the neck...

Re: PCX Speedo inaccuracy
It has a rev limiter?TheMaverick wrote:I've measured the accuracy of my 2013/2014 model many times - it over-reads by exactly and consistently 10% at all speeds.
Actual top speed is around 100 km/hr in wind-neutral conditions (110 indicated). Rev limiter starts to cut in at about 112 indicated.
Hope this helps.

Re: What makes the PCX so special?
I believe the Lambretta's engine is a two valve fuel injected engine designed by Honda built by SYM. (same as in the SYM LeGrande) so not that different to the PCX. PCX is liquid cooled though. Designed by Honda when exactly? Liquid cooling is a massive difference. I'm told it's the same engine as ...

Re: What makes the PCX so special?
The Lambretta has a very basic engine. The PCX isn't significantly better than other similar spec scooters. I believe the Lambretta's engine is a two valve fuel injected engine designed by Honda built by SYM. (same as in the SYM LeGrande) so not that different to the PCX. PCX is liquid cooled though.

Re: PCX Speedo inaccuracy
So the question is: If they're spot on in US and 10% out elsewhere - is there a switch/setting somewhere to change it?

Re: What makes the PCX so special?
I guess my question is: How come the PCX is SO much more fuel efficient than other similar size scooters? It's in the order of 30% more economical than the (new) Lambretta I borrowed for our national scooter rally. That's a significant difference.

Re: What makes the PCX so special?
in Oz the PCX cost is comparable to the Kymco. Also with 2K km service intervals the (capped) cost of servicing alone - for the warranty period only, amounts to 80% of the cost of the scooter. Fuelly.com figures for the Nmax are 31-41km/l (only 3 submissions) Nmax has vvti - giving it more potential...

What makes the PCX so special?
The "benchmark" talked about at the National Scooter Rally (Oz) was the new Kymco 150, but it's fuel consumption is 10km/L worse that the PCX. Service intervals are 3000km (2000km if you want the extra warranty) Vs 8000km for the PCX. I rode a borrowed Lambretta (new one) with a fuel injec...

how to get preload rear adjustment on a PCX
I saw some "preload" adjusters on webike - no idea how they work. The lack of preload on the rear of the PCX is one of the things that made me hesitate before buying it. Despite its diminutive stature the little PCX has the same load carrying capacity as my cruiser, however depending on th...

Other than that it's been garaged all its life and...

Re: How-to convert 2013 to LED superbright headlight
The LED ones are quoted as 50W or 80W. Is that the power consumption or the halogen equivalent? I would expect a 30W halogen to put out about as much light as a 10-15W LED. I've had issues with past bikes burning out ignition switches because power to the headlights went through the ignition switch....

Re: Battery charging - a few questions
Lithium batteries are not %100 reliable - they also die especially if they are over charged or for some reason drop below minumum voltage by too far a margin. Applies to all Lithium even in small devices. For the price, as mentioned it does not seem worth it as a good normal PCX battery will last a...

Re: Dr Pulley 20x15 (SR2015) 14g sliders for 2015 PCX?
I have 13 gram NCY rollers along with the NCY variator and drive face (on both of my bikes). I think the original rollers were 18 gram. Someone more familiar with the 2013 model may know differently, but that is my understanding. Sliders act differently than rollers do. That why others have suggest...

Re: Has The PCX finally met it's match ??
Love it! One of the biggest issues I have with the PCX is that on less than perfect roads the syspension will bottom out - and last week I got lost and ended up having to do a few km on dirt, which the PCX handled well, but I did worry about it. My first scooter was a Yamaha majesty 250. The air int...

I'm concerned about the increased wear and tear of stopping and starting - however if I'm not on the front row and I know it's going to be a minute or so, then I'll use the idle stop. I'll blip the throttle a few seconds before I have to start moving to give the oil a chance to circulate before I ta...
