Re: windscreens and mpg on PCX 150

The givi short screen gives a nice boost in aerodynamics while not adding as much surface area as the full screen. It will allow you to reach higher top speeds than the stock screen without crouching.

Re: confused

andyscooter, the speedometer has an electronic pickup on the rear wheel. There is actually a black plastic cover at the base of the left rear shock, that is your speed sensor under there. Don't rev the engine with the rear brake applied as you are burning or have burnt up your clutch shoes. If the s...

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

SENDLER, the real reason I probably lost several miles per hour is because of the tires being out of round. That imbalance along with an increase in mass and a low power engine means it's requires more power to turn which I'm lacking so it makes it harder to get there. I hit 77 mph today but it was ...

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

Not in a week. It's got 500 miles on it and I'll add more today. I think I'm going to go back with the stock size in a city grip. I was hitting an indicated 75 easy and topping at 80mph with the old dunlops. I'm interested to see what happens with a fresh tire back on...

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

Well, tonight I broke the bead on the front and rear tires and used plenty of tire lube to reseat the beads. I have no change from this. I am going to contact motorcycle superstore from this point and see what they will do. I am going to try to exchange for stock size Michelin City Grips. I was talk...

Thats a unique idea dasshreddar. If it doesn't seat it all the way out it may pop it off the bead... I like lol

Dasshredder can you also please put yours on the center stand to double check? Maybe I just have had a poor mount job.

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

I'm pretty convinced it's the shop I took them too. They didn't lube them all the way up the sidewall lol. I may try one last time. It's just getting annoying. I'm thinking a good bit of my speed loss is due to the unbalanced effect of the tire. At least for sure the overall diameter is slightly off...

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

kramnala58, if you put your pcx on the center stand and twist the throttle, does the rear tire move in and out? or is it perfectly steady and balanced? I have found that the Pirelli 140/70-14 vibrations are canceled at highway speed, BUT they CRACKED one of the three exhaust mounts. I am going to or...

Re: Is this a good price for a new 2013 pcx?

I live in Missouri. At the time that was the best price of any dealer in my area. As was already said, the dealers really don't have much profit on new models. The best deal you will get is when Honda offers a promotion on the 2013 models to move them. It happens on all bikes when a new model comes ...

Re: Is this a good price for a new 2013 pcx?

First off, there is no legal standing for a doc fee. That is just pure profit for any dealer. Second, I paid $4200 OTD with the extended warranty. What you were quoted is a good price! Just know it's not really any cheaper than a year ago. They MAY get cheaper once the 2015 models hit the showroom i...

Re: Pcx Yuminashi Chainsaw 164!

So a shop that turns brake rotors ant drums could do this. I understand how much weight you removed but how deep? How much did you remove .125"?

Re: Bigger tire questions answered

I'm running a 120/70-14 front and a 140/70-14 rear.

FYI power by pcx sells a 13" version of the stock rims.

Re: PCX150 replacement tires

The question always comes up. 1. Do larger tires fit? - Yes, with 4-5 washers and longer bolts spacing out the airbox and the inner fender removed. (A new fender is $6.00 from the local dealer here.) 2. Do larger tires affect ride? - Yes, the ride is cushier and the "bigger is better" plac...

Re: PCX150 replacement tires

I love my pirelli diablos as another option. My personal recommendation is that while you can run a 120/70-14 front and a 140/70-14 rear, you will lose top end performance. I would suggest the larger size only if you are okay with modifications to make them fit. Otherwise pirelli and michelin both m...
