Hi, yes, You should achive 70mph (max). I did it in my 2011 model, altough I put 15g (recommended on this forum). Check the belt too.accyuklad wrote:will dr pulley rollers / sliding rolls 13.5gr be fine to get upto 68-70mph

Re: 125 2010 uk model pcx
I used 14.5 and regreat it need 13.5g but it as improved abit then what it was before
was hoping 14.5 would help it not to use to much fuel but get it to boost abit on going
as I only use it for work but not wasting another £50 as it just for work so I wait till they wear out
Im thinking of trading my motorcycle and get a pcx 2013 -2014 and tune it as insurance on a 125 motorcycle not cheap
I use to own a piaggio 125 14hp with tuned variator and to say it was tuned the pcx gets upto 50mph faster then the piaggio and I reckon if it had a malossi it outbeat the 14hp piaggio I had easily

Re: 125 2010 uk model pcx
Keep in mind that changing the variator and drive face to an aftermarket one could allow your top end to increase enough that you might make 70 mph. Changing just the rollers will just give you a quicker jump to its top end. I changed both the variator - drive face combo AND the rollers (to 13 gram), and now my scooter is quite fast. Also make sure that your belt is new. The older the belt, the slower the bike.
On your particular bike you will need to take care of the parts that are definitely bad, each of which can affect your speed. You will find that as these parts are replaced the scooter will become more comfortable and dependable. Once you update everything (clutch bearing, shocks, variator-drive face combo, and rollers...and maybe add a windscreen) I think you will be very happy with your PCX. Whether a 125cc or a 150cc, it can be a great bike if not used on freeways. We ride ours on the back country roads where the speed limit is 45 mph to 55 mph and they seem to be happy at those speeds.

Re: 125 2010 uk model pcx
I use to own a Peugeot elyseo 125 12hp and that do 65mph easily and on nice days 75mph with no upgrades
since all the new emissions and shit scooters now slower
for a second scooter i not sure weather if i should get a pcx and upgrade it as stock honda sh 125 or similar to 70mph without issue
i like a fun scooter that can do 70-75 fast with upgrades and my motorcycle isn't cheap for insurance with the mileage i do each year lol
my piaggio 125 had 75000km roughly before selling without power issues and was going to keep and tune it but needed to much work and not cheap for parts
