No. Changing the weights changes the rpm that the CVT pulls at while under full throttle for better acceleration. The DrPulley sliders will give a slight increase in gearing due to their design, not a difference in weight. But you will still be stuck at 65-70 mph depending on the wind and newness of your belt. The PCX150 is an amazing vehicle. But might get passed by Craig once in a while during a challenge. But who cares if you don't get an "official" score on a Vetter challenge. You still have a really nice riding and fuel efficient daily commuter if you can get by with a top speed of 65 mph.
