I'm surprised you just used one turn? How much do you weight with full gear on? Anyway, welcome to the PD valves club

I have a 125cc 2014 LED pcx - i just mounted Dr pulley sliders 12.5 gr- i feel it's more rev happy and livelier accelerating from 40 to 70 kmh- Not sure any difference from 0-50. The engine is a bit louder. It feels different, can't say it's worst its just working in a different way, maybe less rely...

Here is the datasheet:
Castrol Motorcycle coolant:

Is this one silicate free and safe to use?

I had to top up a bit and thinking of using the rest flushing the whole thing. It just says glycol based...
Thanks

I had to deglaze often with very rainy climate over here- just put your front wheel against a wall, keep the bike perpendicular to wall and give it 2/3 full gas for 5 sec. Doing it with the brakes is tricky to open throttle enough.

That's just wrong. I feel harshness on bumps and ripples less than 1/2 inch high. It's just nasty. Look at reviews for Forza 125 - on Youtube, a PCX rider (5'5" woman) explains it feels much smoother and more planted on uneven roads... No it's not wrong. The front fork locks, the rear bottoms-...

.eu site or not it is unclear to me if this still ships from Thailand. Be prepared to shell out 20%+ on customs when it arrives, let us know...

I was facing the same question as you. ( but not the smaller diameter of springs o_O ) Ideally Test both according to your weight (and roads), i have harder springs too ( not Daytona) bought through the german pcx forum. They are shorther but not by 1 inch , more 0.2/0.3 inch. The valves will add ab...

Reaper, Before you start here is a quick tip Oyabun gave me which i found useful: Start with the pcx on its stand and loosen a bit the two bottom allens on each fork leg. just half turn or a turn will do. Then proceed to dismantle wheel and fork. It will be a lot easier to take the allen bolt that h...

..near the small end not "neare" as i wrote...

Yes 8 mm is fine. Don't go overboard. Clean and deburr like a maniac...

Edit: only the bottom ones neare , don't touch the ones near where the valve sit ( visible in my pics)

I had a J.costa on my first gen. Pcx. While you won't hear any ratlle from the variator your engine will be louder as it revs like crazy on start from standstill ...

....And search for "Front supension upgrade" here as well...

Please post cost next to each line and labor time. I am guessing the question "why not get a SH 300" or something will soon pop up...As to which single mod gives the most bang for buck, let's see what others have to say...

Dag Mario, I'm pretty sure the install procedure is the same as per PCX. As for which size of valve to use, available sizes of YSS PD valves can be seen in the pic i have posted above, and to get guidance on minimum diameter please head to the racetech website Oyabun has posted in the first post, wh...

I quote the website: The rollers should be checked/changed every 1600km/1000 miles whoaw- the malossi have a reputation for eating rollers quickly but this is twice as fast at the minimum!

Update: I fixed torquing on the fork wich would'nt tighten down to it I also fished and zeroed in the valves and then applied two turns (as per manual). Mine were about 4/5 turns and it was way too much of good thing: almost no drivers' sag, very little dive while braking, the bike felt a bit tilted...

I've sticked with the stock amount 75mm from top of fork with fork tube fully compressed- from email exchanges with Oyabun stock for eSP is 122 ml +/- 2,5. Oyabun further tweaked for his valves and went 130 ml, increasing the fluid level to 72-70mm.
He might want to chime in and comment

And for anyone attempting to install here are the instructions that i finally found on the net- mine came from ebay uk and they guys didn't bother to answer any of my mails requesting them, talk about bad customer service!

Sure, please do, This mod is the best 90 eur I've spent on the bike- here is a pic of the valves sitting on the damping rod, bottom one has been Dremeled about 0.5 mm inner of top rod, the upper as is . Maybe it will not be the case for others. Just be warned it might happen and to have one ready if...
