The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

. If you get the sliders instead, you have to file the vario to get the most out of them. The NCY set up is much longer if we can get both parts.[/quote] I had read about filing the stock variator, but couldn't figure out exactly where or how much to file. If I did that and used say 13g Dr pulley's,...

I commuted to work today with the pcx ( 30 degrees out! ) and the route takes I-94 for about 5 miles. On the way home I was able to top it out again and it seems that I am hitting the rev limiter at about 65 mph. Once up to that speed, it held it going uphill or down. These aren't huge hills we are ...

A picture cropped down to fit.

I got home from work tonight and was surprised because the National Cycle windscreen was already here. :o Less than 48 hours from order to delivery coming UPS ground. Of course I had to get it on the bike and take a ride. :D I have to thank whoever here it was that suggested to use a frosting knife ...

Cool link, thanks!

Got it ordered, hopefully will show up in the next week or so. If it turns out that its too slippery to ride, I'll still get it installed and post pics.

I sure do hope I don't have to wait till spring to try it out!

Well, I wouldn't really have to save up for a replacement, its more a matter of just trying to get the right one the first time. Sendler, you are right about possibly adding hand protection. I have been looking around on that for a bit now trying to find separate handguards from a USA source, someth...

Ok I did some measuring, and realized the sizes that National cycle gives for each of the 3 screens, 12.75", 14.75" and 16.5", actually refer to the vertical height of the screen above the topmost edge of the " dashboard " which is also the top of the handlebar right at the ...

I did read it wrong then, I thought you could just use the drive face alone. Thanks for the clarification. I will be waiting to see your results. Being able to make 70mph reliably would be well worth the money.

so I am just going to go for the vario and drive face with lighter than stock weights and a new belt. I think I misunderstood your previous posts, I thought you ONLY needed to change out the $25 drive face, keeping the rest of the variator stock honda? If you do need to replace all three parts ( pl...

The NCY can hit 80 mph down hill and runs about 8,000 rpm at 62 mph which should give a slight increase in fuel economy at that speed. Based on those numbers, it sounds like the NCY raised the overall top ratio by almost 10%, speed at 8500 rpm hp peak from 60.2mph to 65.9mph. Thats actually huge fo...

It was reported that the coating in the ramps of the NCY variator didn't work well with the sliders for some reason. Hmm, that means we can potentially get more speed with the NCY variator and rollers, but will have to deal with flat spotted rollers forever, where the dr pulleys will last much long...

With the nyc drive face can you still use Dr pulley sliders, or is that not a good idea?

The Fabri's hand protection looks good, but its overall height seems like it might be too much. Always hard to tell from pics alone. Apparently they are a bigger company than I realized. This is a quote from their home page. : National Cycle, Inc. is the world leader in windshield manufacturing, wit...

I should add I'm looking for the most wind protection I can get that won't slow the bike down.

My primary use is commuting, which takes me on the freeway for about 5 miles each way. The speed limit is 55 so the pcx's 65 mph top speed is enough. As I already found out, the windblast at 60+ is just way too much, and with the temps in the 30's here right now its also mighty cold. The National Cy...

I've been lurking here for a few months and this forum is part of why I decided to pull the trigger on a new leftover pcx a few weeks ago. A local dealer gave me an outstanding out the door price ( tax, title, setup, and plates mounted before I left ) of $2700. It was fun watching the first 1/10th m...
