Is it worse if it isn't?

Which returns us back to my first question, has this been checked with the tyre manufacturer...?

Or hasn't it?

Have you actually confirmed that fitting the oem tyre to a wider rim is safe...?

Check this out:

PCX front tire width is 90/90, rear tire width is 100/90..
According to the pic above, PCX oem front wheel width is 1.85 and 2.15 for the rear, and it's fine if we upgrade the wheel size to 2.15 front and 2.5 rear...
So that's why changing my wheel wider makes me more confident...

That chart just suggests that it might OK to fit the tyre to a wider rim.
To have any real validity the chart needs to have been published by the tyre manufacturer IRC.
The chart clearly says you should contact the manufacturer for fitment information.
Also, the referenced chart does not give any indication whatsoever that "grip" and "traction" will be in any way affected by using a wider rim.
So your confidence remains misplaced.

Oh, I'm sorry, what I really meant was: fit any tyre you like, I don't care a flying fuck.
Better?

Then standard tyres on the PCX are fine. You can fling the PCX around bends and it never steps out of line. And these are roads full of potholes and sheep.
I would never say not to, I would probably just do it for the hell of it but it is not going to increase your contact patch with the road by much if not anything at all. So I can't see it making much difference.

I'd say that's an improvement for GN2. We're like his therapy to try to work out his old crotchetyness.

Another muffler modification I did during this weekend.

Check this out...

I replaced the oem Honda PCX 150 muffler with oem Honda Blade 110 muffler...
I don't know about the power change, but I do like the design...

maddiedog · Post by **maddiedog** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:59 am

Oh yeah, that does look cooler than stock, it's much more streamlined. Was it bolt-on, or did you have to modify it?

yup, that really looks right! Super! How's it sound?

Nice looking scoot.That darker Givi screen really sets it off.

Where did you get the small back rest and chrome handle /trim around the back of the seat ? I like this. Where in Indo are you ? I am in the US (West Palm Beach , FL) but wife is from Indo.

How much does the 2013 PCX 150 cost in Indo now (in rp is fine). I paid 3449. (US) for mine.

maddiedog · Post by **maddiedog** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 9:40 am

You can get them from powerbypcx: http://www.powerbypcx.com/achat-dossere ... 52277.html

Other vendors carry them, but powerbypcx is more reputable in my opinion.

Where did you get the chrome bar and small back rest on your bike ? I like this. It looks good. I seen what I think is the same back rest from a seller from Thailand but can not get any response from them . Can this back rest be found/purchase in Indo. ? I have relatives in Indo. Where are you from in Indo ?
