Honda PCX150 2018 YSS shock absorber

Post by stjp8729 »

Hi :)

New here..

Just uppradade to a PCX150 2018 from a PCX 2015.

As the rear shock absorber are not really the best one I want to buy YSS, but according to the shops here in Bangkok the shocks from earlirer model years don't fit. Its looks that there are more space around the shock for -2017.

Anyone know where to find a good brand for shock absorber for PCX 150 2018 in Thailand?

To me it seems that the new airbox leaves less room for the shock.
I doubt that any aftermarket shock would exist with the small diameter of the stocker, and would be any better with such a measly shock piston size.
I'd probably think bout retrofitting an earlier airbox and install a well known YSS shock.
I have no access to parts catalog for the new 2018 model yet, so cannot cross check compatibility of the air inlet system though.

It looks like Honda has done some more redesigning on the PCX, which means that some items from the previous year will not fit this year's PCX. Since Thailand seems to be the home of the PCX, give the aftermarket community about 6 months and accessories will start showing up in the local shops.

The only thing I've seen so far are Ohlins in indonesia. As Mel put it you will have to wait a bit until YSS takes care of it.

I'm still not seeing shocks listed for the 2018. :(

I am thinking about exhaust for mine, kinda leaning toward the Yoshimura.

I wonder if these will also fit a 2017 model. Here’s why I ask ..... I have a titled 2018 but I bought it in early May 2017. Since the 17s and -18s look identical, can I be certain which it really is from the standpoint of rear shocks ?

Are they the same height as the original shocks?
