But can you lock it in all conditions on all surfaces in all weathers?
Perhaps more thorough testing required....?
Anyway, I refer you to my original thought in this discussion, the OP just needs to learn how to use the CBS braking system correctly rather than fanny around trying to "fix" the brakes.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Oh I don't know. Be reasonable.
The OP locks the rear brakes to test grip when it's damp and wet. You can also spin up the rear coming out of corners to do the same thing. Although it does hack off wife if she is following. Great fun though. I am a bit of a dick and happy to admit it
However I'm heartily disappointed that the pcx seems incapable of this. Honda are idiots. What do they employ all those engineers for? The bike is clearly unsafe. You need to tell me what I need to do to the bike to sort this.

That's right up there with a local municipality in the next state over talking about making McDonalds illegal because too many residents are obese and impoverished.

come on guys the OP wants to "unlink" his cbs, the easiest way to do that is by loosening the cbs adjuster screw and tighten the drum adjuster screw.
What is good for commuters is not always good for technical riders, the OP does not want the front to lock up in the wet, same with me, but in my case I don't want the
front to lock up on steep dirt trails, and besides it's fun just to lock up the rear when your out shredding the streets.

That is good fun I have to admit
Not sure the puny drum will ever be up to it with it carrying the weight of the engine. A good disk would be better
