Latest update. Got the NCY variator kit on (Drive face-variator and 13g rollers) and windscreen. Stock she was hitting rev limiter at 62mph then the kit moved her to 65-67mph and the windscreen opened her up to 73 mph (gps) 70 speedo. I have the Leo Vince Corsa GP Silencer on the way. I will remove the battery connection to reset the FI (Fuel Injection) computer to remap. I think she will run 80+ now as I let off running 73mph because I hit the speed I wanted. The 60+mph climbing hills are no issue now. I hate the thing is so comfy I do not want to stop riding her lol

A 2:53 gear Leaving in Second of a Saginaw Slush Box? Are you at the Salt Flats or Talladega with that Gearing? surely Not at a Drag Strip. At the Strip? What do you measure your 60' Foot times in? Days or Weeks? lol Car weight was nothing with that thing. Fully dressed out full tank of gas tool box and speaker system she never got heavier than 2,800lbs. 13" tires and rims Mickey Thompson Sportsman Is would grip. She was a blast to drive and would fool a lot of people. 1st gear was a waste of time and the torque would pop it out of gear when you hammered it. At 110-115 mph going from 3rd to 4th she would smoke the tires and you had best steer it to the right as she would lift the left front and drive towards the left lane fast. Sometimes I wish I still had her but she scared the mess out of me. The fastest I ever ran her was 165 mph with 1/3rd-1/4th throttle left. That was a no go with no roll cage for sure.

She is here. Midnight blue with the metal sparkle. Looks black but she is not. Rode home 53+ miles and not even a 1/3rd tank of fuel. Hit rev limiter a few times but she can hold 55-60mph smooth and up hills. Did not have any issues with comfort and with the wind blowing I was not bounced around like I thought I would be. Ohhh I am a happy rider/camper now. I will look into the variator mods to bump up the speed so not to hit the rev limiter on those shorts hills lol. First thought it was som weak gas but then I remembered ...

I get that- my question is- do valves on ours scoots get looser or tighter with time? Over time they will get a little lose and that is normal but with a lot of run time on them. The clearance is set with tight tolerances from when the engine heats up metal expands and then retracts when cooled. .004 and .005 usually works and that is real thin when you look at it. On a cold morning and I mean a real cold morning you may hear the arms chatter a little until it warms up. Always set them with the engine cold but not ice cold. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

2015 Honda PCX150 wooohooo I got cleared. Yeah baby! Gotta find a way to go get her now. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... Grats, may it bring you many fun rides. Keep it rubber side down and ride safe! Thanks. I have to go get her and soon. I like the Powermax but I am also not secure about long..long runs with it. My disability has me tied up with doing to much. So gas and go now is what I need. No reliability issues. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

Parts came in and every thing is on. I replaced the 9g rollers with 12g rollers. The engine dropped down to 7,000-7,200 rpm range but only reached 58 mph GPS. I may put the 10g set in it (Took out the 9g set) and see how she runs from there. With the 12g set she felt like she was lugging along want to cut loose and breath. Belt made a world of a difference and was easier to get on. Clutch pulley had the belt more towards the outer edge like it should have been. Muffler sounds like a frippen glasspack lol. The old muffler showed traces of soot even thought it was light so she is not running lean. First back fire from the new muffler scared the mess out of me lol so the baffle may go in .. but I like the loudness. "Loud pipes saves lives!" I enjoy slowing down blipping the throttle to make it cackle and people turn to look like what is that.
I just wonder if she prefers the 8,000-8,500 rpm range. Every time I go heavier weights and taller gear she just lugs around. I want to think she is solid enough to ride those rpms seeing as I did see 10,000 rpm on her on one run with 6g rollers. I did not hold it there but hit it and she became buzzy. (Down a short hill with a head of steam and only hit 55 mph) In the last 2 videos she was holding 8,000-8,200 rpm range and was smooth as silk. I wonder if this engine prefers the higher rpm range like that. When I ran the 8g test she ran smooth and perfect at 8,700-9,000 rpm range and was not buzzy. I was just a little to loud exhaust wise for me. Over the winter I may get setup with the BBK from the jug up. I am trying not to go to far yet. I want to get the most out of the 150cc engine first.

You have it tuned pretty well, you will notice a big improvement with the new exhaust, removing the emissions crap and rejeting. I am getting the cold air kit for it. If I run a cone I would be stuck with this weather here. Most of the vacuum stuff is unplugged just need to do new fuel line and manual petcock valve. After I put the new belt on I may have to readjust my roller weights..not sure yet. Also going with synthetic oil now she is over 1,000k on the Chino. Right now even with the tight belt she is running 8,000-8,200rpm range like I wanted. Thinking of getting the Hornet next but not sure yet lol Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

First good day to ride for me. She purrs like a kitten. Running 55-60 mph (GPS) with little wind it holds 8,000-8,500 rpm steady. Hoca variator and 9g Hoca rollers 18x14. I noticed when I run down the speed and throttle back up .. sometimes it crackles and takes off. Is the rollers to light or is the exhaust to open? All I know is she is smooth fun right now. Monday I may go get a 2006 Honda Reflex with 4,000 miles on her for $1,250-1,500 it depends if they get it running. Car lot has it and forgot about it. Kelly Bluebook says trade in is still $2,200 in good shape. Now that my friends is a sweet deal if I can fix the carb/clean the fuel tank/get a battery.

Ok test are in. Wish I had videoed the runs.
1st change on rollers- 3x6g + 3x8g rollers total gave me 7g set...10,000 rpm max and saw 60 mph GPS.
2nd change on rollers- 3x9g + 3x11g rollers total gave me 10g set...8,000 rpm max and saw 58-59 mph GPS.
3rd change on rollers- 3x8g + 3x10g rollers total gave me 9g set.....9,000 rpm max and saw 58-59 mph GPS.
Very windy day here so speeds are off a lot. Gust upwards of 10-15 mph I think.
No gear change yet just trying the roller weight tune kit to figure what rollers to order. Hoca variator came with 12g set x6 but did not try them yet. I need a gram scale lol The Hoca gears are setting in the bottom of the tool box and have not been looked at yet. Did SSP-G buy Hoca out or the other way around? SSP-G is a German based company so quality should be good...I hope. The stock variator rollers had some bad ..and I mean bad flat spots all around them.

What do you mean by "Cam Ratios"? I'm a sbc type of guy and have only referred to Rocker Arm Ratio's or Rod to Stroke Ratio's. Maybe just some different verbiage, I've never heard of a cam ratio. I haven't seen any alternative Rocker Arm's with different ratios on the market, would be cool to get another 10% Cam from just a Rocker Arm Change You know how the cams can come in 3 levels (I call ratios) Low rpm torque/low lift - mid range torque/little higher lift- then the good old muther thumpers (as they call them now) Saturday Night Specials Very top end torque/very high lift. Yes I know about setting the right cam up with the degree wheel etc etc. But I have always asked people what they wanted. Low- mid or top end. Then work around the weight and gear ration to get what they needed. Shoot the Pontiac Sunbird and Chevrolet Monza (Wagon) both weighed in under 2900 lbs so the power to weight ratio was fun to play with. I ran a 2.53 rear gear and would drag race out of the hole in second gear (Saginaw 4 spd). I would pull the Mustangs out of the hole while they changed gears 2 times (1st-2nd into 3rd) I was still in second walking away lol. Just old fashion fun. "You check your hawg head lately?" lol I would get people with that one. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

Link to video of me doing a test run. I was riding and my nephew was behind me but I did not know who it was. Hit the turn before the bridge running 58.3 mph GPS (caution 45 mph turn) and the death wobble started lol I know better than that. Maybe getting ready to change gears again and do a variator weight/roller (not sliders) change. She rides good and adjusting to her real good. Trying to set my torque up in the right spot.
