After being asked earlier whether my goal was top speed or to hit the rev limiter, I clarified that my goal is really more power (acceleration) between 70 and 75 mph.Mel46 wrote:The rollers help your "off the line" acceleration but not your topend. The variator helps your topend. The maximum I have been able to get out of mine is 10 mph over it's normal max. The PCX 150 has a general max speed of 62 - 64 mph. With the NCY setup, a Givi tall windshield, and MCG tires...as well as a belt with low miles on it... my maximum on a good day is 75 mph.
With 15 gram rollers, I was able to hit the rev limiter fairly easily... But now with 13 gram rollers, no one can tell me when the rev limiter will activate. Perhaps 14 gram rollers would actually still allow me to reach 75 mph, but with a little quicker acceleration from 60 to 75??
Think I need to buy some 13.5 & 14 gram rollers to play around with for that reason... Just to see when the rev limiter activates.
The good news from all my new CVT parts thusfar is that I'm now getting 75 mpg when riding wide open throttle all day long. I've only gotten 70 mpg since I first bought it used, either due to the clutch slipping or the clutch bearings bring worn... Or both. But an increase in both speed and mileage, while feeling smoother all over (including more comfortable after humpectomy).... means I'm even more ecstatic about this bike than I already was. Dunno how I waited this long to open the CVT up remove the hump. If I could do it all over again, I'd just order a replacement seat that was already flat instead of perform humpectomy and add Cheeky Seats cover. I'm so in love with my PCX, tho... that I'll probly ride it till the wheels fall off. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
