Re: fuel economy improvements

Hey everyone, I was just thinking that I had not shared my fuel economy gains with the use of aftermarket variators in a thread. I have used several different setups so here are the mpg figures with an average of half of the riding at highway speed of 65mph or more. Stock variator: top speed 68mph ...

ScooterMan wrote:Still dunno why you left the old belt in there. With 2500 miles or so, top speed will be down 2-3mph over a new belt. Go ahead and throw the good one in there. =)
Agreed, even though it looks in tact it will be losing you top end. i lose 5mph after 1-1.5k miles

Re: ? top speed pcx 125?

OK. these 12,5 grams rollers are way too heavy. The scooter does 110kmh (68mph), and doesn't have enough power to even raise the RPMs in the end. Can't handle the wind. You are coming up against the balance of power versus drag from the wind and changing the weights won't make any difference above ...

The screen Definitely helps my large frame get to a higher top speed, best 2 performance mods ive done is multivar and windsheild.

Re: Multivar2000

Not sure if they do a 2015 version yet but the multivar i have in my 2012 gives me an "indicated" top speed(brand new belt) of 84mph on the stand, 80mph on the road(slight downhill no headwind) after 2k on the belt its now topping at 76 mph. I have a ermax+25 windsheild, without that i'd k...

Re: NCY variator and sliders - not a good combo

They dont work well in the malossi multivar either, reduce top speed and acceleration compared to rollers.

Re: Max speed, vario & rollers

You need to use the 10.5 gr rollers with the multivar, ive tried lots of combinations and 10.5 is the sweet spot, also as people are saying the screen will help, i have the ermax + 25, its a must in my opinion, it stops my large frame from acting as an airbrake! My top speeds are: 84mph(135km) on t...

I did have a recording on my phone but the noise could not be heard on playback, although to the ear it was quite loud in the end.

Re: PCX clutch bearing issue

That is one of the reasons mine cost so much to fix. They had multiple bearings that were bad in the assembly, and the replacement assembly was on back order due to high demand. Getting the bearings out was something most mechanics don't have the tools to do, so they ususlly send the assembly to a ...

Re: PCX clutch bearing issue

The clutch bearing issue is common to less than 30 % I'd hazard to guess. Its a cheap bearing to replace ($22 plus $3 for the seal) and not a real hard job. It is by no means a reason to sway your decision. What tool would you use to take the bearings out of the enclosure? I have limited tools so I...
