Bought New PCX150

[ScooterKim]

a larger windshield is definitely a must. the bugs you see splattered on your shield would be on you ! I think they put the small windscreen on the PCX just to have you trade up, to a larger windscreen. I bought a medium GIVI first but too much wind around the helmet. and, although I have a full face helmet, I prefer my 3/4. so, sold the mid-size GIVI on ebay and went to a large GIVI. The mid size looked better... the large works better.

We normally take our PCX 150 on runs longer than what you were talking about. It isn't unusual for us to do a 150 - 180 mile round robin at 50+ mph. Heck, we even take it on the freeway occasionally and it keeps up with traffic quite nicely. Because it is a Honda I think it will have a long life.:-)

Great news that they are on the mend. That can really weigh on you.

I've done 50 to 60 mile rides with my 2019 PCX150 routinely, running at mostly full throttle with no ill effects so far. Sometimes the top speed of 65 is just barely adequate to keep from getting run over on a 55 mph road, but mostly it works.

Regarding the windscreen, I found that the stock mini screen was fine if I wore a full face helmet with the shield down. But in hot weather I prefer to wear a 3/4 helmet so I bought a National Cycle windscreen which is pretty huge and I am not a fan of how it looks. It does block most of the wind that would hit my chest, but doesn't do much for helmet wind. I added a small addition as was recommended by some on this forum, that I bought on Ebay for about $20. Come Spring I will see if this addition makes a difference or not, but it sure is not an attractive look to have a tall winscreen on this small scooter PLUS an extension on the screen. If the addition doesn't help with the helmet wind, I might just go back to the better looking stock windscreen totally.

Anyone that plans to ride above 50mph for long periods of time I HIGHLY recommend the bigger tire sizes. Without a doubt the best mod I did to my bike for comfort and ride security. So much more stable at speed.

What size would that be?? .. just for reference. ;-)

I'm happy with the stock tires and wheels on my 2019 PCX150. My last scooter before this one had 12 inch wheels, so these seem almost like motorcycle size wheels and do just fine. The small wheels are what kept me from buying a Vespa (along with the high price). As to speed, I probably ride at above 50 mph almost all of the time and have not found the wheel size to be a problem at all.

Essentially you run a front tire bigger than the original rear tire. and go full Savage on the rear with a 140.

140/70 rear
120/70 front

You can see just how much bigger the rear is. It also gives you about 3mph on the top end at the limiter.

If you ran the larger tires, you would understand. Its night and day. Just feels much more stable at speed and isnt effected by the road lines as much as the stockers.

Thanks for your interest. The tires have not been changed since before the problem occurred. The scooter ran perfect until the crankshaft was replaced.
