Went for a ride today and hit a few 'bumps' so I thought I'd check the
settings on the rear shocks and was 'shocked' to see that there are none. (WTF)
The front is suspension is a bit better than my old SH150i but the rear
is harsher.

Re: Potholes
The stock shocks on my 2017 don't have any adjustments. I guess the mindset is to replace them when they wear out. 
I haven't looked into getting any replacements for mine yet. Those frost heaves, pot holes, and residual sand patches left over from Winter road treatment can be a real "hoot" though.
Somebody will chime in here that has some experience with YSS or some brand I'm sure. . ..

Re: Potholes
True. I think the YSS shocks have been considered the most popular so far on this forum. There are varying sub-categories within the brand for differing rider weights. You would have to get with those who have them to see which one is best for your bike.

I dont think Ive ever turned the handlebars on a bike other than pushing it. Again I am doing things so wrong.

If you've only ever ridden in straight lines you may not have.
