honda pcx 125 improvement ideas that start with CVT service

honda pcx 125 improvement forum question

I want a honda pcx 125 improvement thread for commuters. Mine is reliable, but takeoff feels softer than last year and I do not want to buy random tuning parts.

I found this related page while comparing notes: honda pcx 125 improvement. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.

Would you check belt width, roller flats, variator ramps, clutch dust, brake drag, tire pressure, air filter, plug color, valve clearance, battery voltage, GPS speed and fuel range first?

That is classic CVT inspection territory. Belt and clutch first.
