New PCX 160 - is it getting smoother over time?
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2022 3:13 am
Hello together,
I got my first new PCX two days ago, but I am really surprised about the stiffness of the bike. I feel every bump in the road and the driving experience is not nice. The roads here in Thailand (Koh Phangan) are also not the best ones, but even with the Click125 I had before it was much smoother.
In the Honda shop they told me that the shocks are not adjustable. So we put lots of air out of the tires. Now it's a bit better, but still not good. And driving with less air in the tires is for sure not how it's meant to be...
Since I had a pretty rough back injury, I really need a comfy bike.
Question to all experienced PCX drivers here: are the shocks getting a bit softer over time? Since it is a brand new bike, might be just a bit stiff in the first couple of days?
If not, I would change the shocks to something super soft. Which ones are the best option to get a super soft and back-friendly driving experience? Do I then just change the back ones or the front ones as well?
Thank you so much!!
