Thanks Jge64 and BPT7594!

chicaboo, a drop of oil on the threads of the spindle before you spin the nut on.

BPT7594, do you have a torque value for the variator nut?

That's a good point Mel , & one that I wondered about as well. I'm guessing that's why Yuminashi only added ventilation to the trailing ("right hand") side. I might have some time next weekend to pull the cover off & evaluate ventilation placement. It probably wouldn't take much to...

Any one have a picture of this block that keeps the belt or these ventilation covers he's talking about? I don't think the poster had either on his bike so yea we probably will be talking about not using these if people don't have modified covers and belt keepers LOL. The way I read the response fr...

I have got the same. Did you find the inner bag somewhere online (ebay and so on)? I really need one to carry it around :D When i go to hotel I taske it out whole and carry the heavy crap up my room I don't have an inner bag, but I like the idea! I do have a couple of fabric grocery bags that take ...

chicaboo , unlike the NCY "assembly", these Yuminashi kits come with both the variator & drive face halves of the drive pulley assembly (along with a new boss & 10g rollers). But I think you're absolutely right that having mismatched face angles would cause issues! Hugh , do you k...

After reading this post, I went back & reread Yuminashi's recommendations. Here's what they say on their "V.2016-2" variator kit page: The rollers should be checked/changed every 1600km/1000 miles (per maintenance schedule) to keep your scooter running tops. Over time, roller weights w...

Thanks for the heads-up Huge ! We're using our scoots in drastically different ways, so I'm not too worried at the moment. However, if maintenance requirements are dramatically increased, or reliability is dramatically decreased, due to this variator swap, I'll go back to the stock setup & live ...

Here's the last 'unpacking' picture, showing a complete kit: IMG_20160829_180707_742.jpg And here's the Shad mount, a week early from Amazon UK: IMG_20160903_151250_750.jpg As you can see, this box is in no better condition than any of the other overseas scooter accessory purchases! Here's what was ...

Here's the original post that convinced me to buy this product. Here's the link to the 2015 Variator Kit . And here's the link to the belt they recommend. I installed this kit about two weeks ago, & finally got around to trying out a max speed run yesterday. I can pretty much echo what the owner...

Thanks homie ! My PCX is Poseidon Black (black w/blue metallic topcoat), so the carbon panel won't look too bad. My big concern was whether or not it came with all of the factory mounting hardware, since the eBay seller didn't list any items other than just the top box. But it came with everything! ...

It only took about a week-&-1/2, & my Shad SH39 arrived! I bought it from this eBay seller based in northern France, & including shipping I paid $127. Then, thanks to gn2 I was able to get the Shad Mount from Amazon UK for $61 including shipping. (The rack mount is still about a week fro...

Heheh what a coincidence. I am between the SH39 and E370. But I have to say the SH39 looks better. It actually looks totally different from the rest of the SH cases....more of their models should look like that if you ask me. I think you made a good decision. Hopefully it comes fast and its what yo...

Ok, so I ordered the variator tool off amazon a month ago. It was too big and did not fit. Then I got a smaller tool. It still did not fit. I don't have an angle grinder to make the pins smaller. I'm thinking of copying others on here and using an impacr wrench. Is a electrical impact wrench strong...

Thanks gn2 ! When I searched on US Amazon, nothing came up for the mount. I didn't even think to search Amazon in other countries! Shad USA Direct adds another $15 for shipping on top of the $64 price, so it looks like your links can save me money even after overseas shipping. (Amazon UK shipping wi...

Hi axeltow , I'm sure you've been reading all the same reviews (& videos) I have, so you're probably just as confused as I am! :lol: Price & quality seemed to be a tie with both Givi & Shad, so I went with looks. The Givi boxes are a little more expensive than the Shad, while the Givi bi...

Thanks Mister Paul!

Okay, one last question:
Are there any reasonably priced options for buying a Shad PCX frame mount?
The lowest cost I can find is directly from Shad ($64 + $15 s&h = $79).
If Shad Direct is the lowest cost, where would I find a Coupon Code?

Thanks!

Where did you get your auxiliary brake light?

I read somewhere else that I shouldn't get anything less than 39L. I'd would love to hear your opinions on this as I am thinking of a SHAD 39 or 40L too. Well, I think it depends on what you're trying to carry. I have an XL full-face helmet & a fairly bulky jacket. If I didn't have the jacket, ...

Good to know! I still have to give it a try!
