2015 Honda PCX150 Black Metallic (Performance information)

[Heedehcheenuh]

What I calculated so far would be 2 options for me. Oil change takes 800ml. Fist option: I can go 100ml oil stabilizer 700ml of oil. Second option: 200ml of stabilizer 600ml of oil.
The first option would be for the heavier weight oils 30w/40w for as thick the oils is.
The second option would be for the lighter weight oil 20w.

1-: 100ml Lucas Oil Stabilizer and 700ml of Shell Rotella 10-30/40w Full Synthetic
2-: 200ml Lucas Oil Stabilizer and 600ml of Shell Rotella 10-20 Full Synthetic

Yes! great pics Chief, and good job tooling your own scoot.
Go Chief go!

I wish my old disabled butt would get in gear. There are days I can get somethings done then have to take 2-3 days to recover smh.

I feel your pain, I flare with this stupid Fibromyalgia every few weeks. Good news is medical science has kept pace with MY inevitable geriatrics and 3 new treatments are inbound in the next few years if approved by the FDA ... SO CHIN UP CHIEF maybe something for you too.

Here was a discovery I made recently that people have found out themselves who have FM that made perfect sense to me. Vibration therapy helps numb the arthritis type pain I immediately understood my addiction to riding everyday either on a bumpy PCX or a V-twin harley engine under my azz. I hadn't made the connection prior to hearing about vibration therapy treatments for Fibromyalgia. I wonder how the hell they do it?

For us "old" guys and girls.

Mine took less than 800, I've read where others' took less also. Remember the spec says to check oil level with the engine hot and stick NOT screwed in. Also, that 200/600 ratio seems high to me .... what's Lucas call for ?

For fast rotation parts in engines it helps to keep oil on parts. It is a little tacky but serves as a protectant when there is oil starvation or pick up issues.

I have used this in race V-8 engines that would turn high rpm ranges. It puts a layer on the bearing to prevent them from running dry. I have never had any issues with it. I built a 1967 Chevrolet 283ci motor and used a quart of the Lucas in it. When I was racing I missed a gear at 8'000rpm she pegged the tachometer to 10'000rpm but never blew the bottom end. I felt I was lucky. When I tore the motor down the bearing looked fine and no issues. I figured it would work well in these high winding little engines as well. I used it in my Chinese Tao Tao Powermax 150cc and never had an issue either.

Rode west on 74/I-74 from Laurinburg N.C. to Rockingham N.C. testing the Honda PCX150. Parts of 74/I-74 are 70 mph zones. I had no issues and was passing cars and trucks with ease. I ran a round trip of 40+ miles out there and she was holding her own. I had to rush home to beat the rain that was on the way in and just made it lol. Was nice to have fun even riding solo.

A good ride is never a waste of time!

@maddiedog This work out perfect for you? In the long run this may be the best route for me in the end. I can get a life time+ out of this setup. Has any one else run into the needle bearing issue for the clutch?!?! I have seen something on it before but not sure. Have the got a clutch replacement available (performance or stock) built better to replace with? If so that would be a 2 hr knock out job changing gears and clutch to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Sorry, been out of the forum lately. Super busy with work, new baby, and new house.

The gear set was a bit of a hassle to install because of the need for a press. Otherwise, not bad. Check out the howto: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4373

It definitely made a difference. With the big bore kit before the gearing, it hit limiter way too fast. After, it tapered off and finally hit the limiter after awhile. If I ever feel the need to put a big bore kit in my 2nd PCX, I'm planning on doing FI and gearing too. It doesn't really make sense to just do one, you'll notice the most difference with big bore, updated injector / FI, and gearing.

Ruckus with a pcx 150 motor. I’ve hit 78mph hitting the limiter. The motor has potential for some more power.

Got my M indorsement today. Legit 100% for 10 years. Now I can practice night rides also. lol

OK team. Winter kicked in and I have not rode (R.A. is to bad to ride) since Nov. after getting my indorsement. I have been researching a few things to upgrade and would like some feed back before I purchase and start to upgrades.
I am looking into the taller tire, gear change and a new belt. The tires have just over 5,000 miles on them and the center of the rear tires seems to have developed a flat look ... no twisty roads here mainly straight roads so the center wears faster. The belt may need to be replaced from the high speed driving I do ( running 55-70mph GPS). I have seen the gear change post here and wonder if the kits are worth the effort over all. Everything is good for now but I am looking to future proof it a little more. I still have to get my Viking bags (saddle and tail bag) and a top case/box with mount. I have made plans to make the crawl this year ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp-o-DBLCcU ... https://www.facebook.com/events/1802872880006023/ ...
I figure the tires will help me as well as the belt to hold the speeds for the trip. I am so ready for the warm weather so I can get back to the ride. Chime in and let me know what you think about the future upgrades and have fun.

The belt will last about 17k miles, check it first. As for the gearing, if you don't have any other power mods then you won't benefit from them. So, I would follow Maddie dogs advice and get the gearing after a big bore upgrade.

Made a couple rides this winter. Not a good idea. We have had all four seasons in one week. Looking forward to get out and put some miles on her (Still got to make a name for her). Quick runs to the store and back made for a little fun. We have the "Crawl" coming soon and I hope to be ready for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8SV7MUwJY4

I want to ride the "Dragon" at least one time before I can not ride anymore. My old butt and this R.A. is getting stiffer everyday smh.

Broke out the ride today and run her for a few. Now hitting the rev limiter at 72mph gps. smh Got to get her to minimum 75 gps. Time for a gear change I feel.

Good run this past Saturday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fknu478 ... vbk0h00410

Thanks for sharing the vid!

Nice weather. . .and no traffic to speak of. What a nice place to ride where you can relax and enjoy it. Well. . .not relax too much. . .always best to be aware of a sudden appearance from a deer or rabbit or something.

Yep. I have my head on a swivel while on this thing. Video is still showing up low rate and not 1080p so youtube needs to tighten up lol. No word on cameras yet. I ordered and thought they would be here now smh. I have to start recording with the water proof cases to nock the wind noise down also. There was a lot of video but my network is crap for uploads. I may make another with the second footage.
