How to turn a PCX into a drag monster?

[frozenpenguins]

I'm not happy, I lost to a Hyundai Getz in drag... riding a PCX 125 cc

 

I've already changed the variator, rollers and air box. What else can be done to turn the PCX into a drag monster?

 

Don't really want to change to a bigger bike yet, but I'd like to see how much it is possible to squeeze out from this puny engine. ^^

I think 68kg for 1.75m isn't very heavy... -_-

 

anymore less and I'll be a bone sack...

****... that's expensive... T^T

 

ordered a CDI already, waiting to get the yoshimura on first before I do a complete re-map...

 

i heard wing yap saying that if I change the clutch spring my top end will be higher. Is it true?

Put turbo, change gearing, big bore, race ecu, race exhaust, remove the thing that charges your battery, lighter flywheel, race camshaft, stronger valve springs, high compression pistons and skimmed cylinder head, remove all the fairings, use silver spark plugs, smaller tyres ....

 

Or you can just trade in for a 2 stroker

[crazydj]

There is no replacement for displacement.

so 160cc racing block upgrade it is... but any ideas on the service life of such blocks?

Your mods not even consider heavy modded. You can do more before complaining. Look at aftermarket off the shelve products, if unavailable then u have to mod on your own trial and error(example port the head instead of swapping for large valve head).

 

Transmission you can still do clutch, clutch bell, contra spring, torque convertor, belt, Dr pulley rollers if available.

 

Engine wise, stroker, big bore, raise compression, larger valves, performance cam, HD valve springs, manifold and throttle body.

 

If you find big bore expensive, then I think the rest of the stuff that takes more effort and money, out of the question. Many a times, engine failure is part and parcel of chasing performance. If you are not prepared then changing to another bike is easiest option.

 

In the small bike tuning world, the Honda horizontal engine is the most extensively modded engine. It is used in many pitbikes, underbones and others like honda cub or sachs madass. They even have ducati's desmos valve and dry clutch conversion. Also DOHC 4 valve. If you like tuning small bikes you might take a look at TAKEGAWA, KITACO, DAYTONA some companies that specialises.

Oh yea, ultimately it's about how much you willing to spend. I doubt much people will spend alot on a PCX as opposed to a collector bike like Honda Monkey or the likes.

oh cool thanks. Wikipedia time... still got much to learn...

[foxin]

serious? I was kinda thinking maybe people here will be like discouraging TS. Not bad.. not the typical kiasi people

[Cracked]

lol lose to getz, what a joke!

[kmax]

bring Getz to CTE on peak hour... PCX sure win

[frozenpenguins]

d'uh... peak hour even Fino will trash a lambo

[DeusExMachina]

But by the time you spent all that money to mod the PCX, you could have bought a TMax.....

Keep it stock la, modded bikes don't sell that well.

The slowness of a 125cc doesn't bode well with me... >.>

[hachi]

125cc about with 200kg to carry about a bit hard.....

Get a Class 2 and get a kawa zx14r...Can outrun 99.9% of vehicles on SG roads....

And yet you "don't want to get a bigger bike yet". A bit contradictory, right?

class 2 will take a while >.> especially since I just passed 2B last december. Kinda regret selling that X9 I had though... but since I'm stuck with this now, why not "improve" it. ^^
