2025 PCX 160 Rear Shock Upgrade Questions.
Hi guys gals , just picked up my brand new 2025 PCX 160 . Just got her home yesterday in pretty chilly weather . Going to be a couple months to get back on it . Question on rear YSS shock length to buy . I still have my old 2013 PCX150 with YSS shocks and love them . I see there are different lengths just wondering some suggestions what to get . My wife does ride with me so wondering if the weight on the rear would matter as what to get . I would like the rear to be a tad lower seems to look high to me stock . I’m in the Midwest US looking forward to get this thing broken in when the warm weather gets here . Thanks in advance .

If you get the length and model sorted out for the replacement shocks, I'd appreciate if you'd pass the info along. I'm solo with no passengers, but the ride seems a bit harsh sometimes. I'm coming off decades of sport-touring and sports bikes and really have little reference for comparisons for the PCX's ride and comfort. Truth be told, I owned and rode a 1983 BMW R80RT for over 30 years, and even the basic and less expensive of today's motorcycles and scoots have better suspension and brakes than the 1980s technology did. Older may be nostalgic, but that doesn't make them better.
I'm extremely satisfied with the scoot overall, but a better suspension would be nice... that and a pair of upgraded tires.

Ok .. hoping someone can chime in weather to stay with 365mm stock length or go with 350mm for a tad lower just not sure . I stayed with the stock length on my 2013 150 and it’s great with the YSS shocks . I just want to bolt on and leave them alone for adjustment .
