YSS Shocks & Fork kit for 2015 PCX 150 in California USA, or alternatives?

Hi,

With one rider, my shocks feel like a spring only. No damping....
With rider and passenger, the spring is much more compressed, with lttle to no travel left (?)
In both situations, square-edged bumps ( I.E.potholes) break my back, totally inadequate especially at speed.
Yes, I can weave to avoid potholes and sewer covers (which lie below the street level) but that's dangerous.

Does anyone have decent shocks, adjustable, that can be shipped within the USA ?
YSS is a Thailand company...I have experience with owning them but I don't want to do international shipping...

Does anyone have the YSS shocks (and the fork internals kit) and were you able to order it in the USA ?
How well do they work?
Or, did you order from Thailand ?
How long did it take in the mail to reach the USA and did it fit on a 2015 USA PCX 150?

Wellllll...hmmm 2105 hasn't arrived yet. Not sure anything has been invented for it yet. :D :oops:

Really though, YSS makes great products. Many members in the past upgraded their PCXs with YSS products. If i wanted to upgrade my front forks I would choose YSS, though NCY would also be worth looking at. (My rear shocks are already changed out. I have Takegawa Lowering shocks so that my wife can ride it if she wants to.) YSS has different sets for different weights. Consider whether you ride 2 up or are in a higher weight category than the lowest grade ones. gas canister ones are great.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!

I don't see a way to edit the post, or the posting title...clearly mine is a 2015 not a 2105.

I am mostly interested in experience of people (in the US) who upgraded their 2015 with YSS, adjustable model shocks, and how was the international ordering (cost, time)?

To be clear, I ride alone and with my wife, looking for feedback re: fully adjustable shock to fit the 2015.

I think the ones I posted pics of are not supposed to fit the 2015, not sure.

I found Zeed website, (YSS distributor in Thailand?) I sent an email but no reply...

thanks again!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the different color series of YSS shocks? I see red, gold and black are available but I don't know the difference.

I am 175 lbs and occasionally carry my wife who is 120 lbs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Dankly

Those particular ones you are looking at may not fit a 2015 model.
Try these:

Thanks..maybe getting adjustable ride height, preload, compression, and rebound is not going to be possible for a 2015.

I will keep doing research... I may phone YSS in Thailand ...

thank you

Thanks again @Met46,

eBay sellers do not accurately describe the features (ride height, preload, compression, and rebound) of the results that are returned with that (and other) searches..

WEBIKE in Japan. I have bought stuff from them before. Fast but international shipping and they use all the credit cards.

I have never had an order problem with these guys and I order a lot of stuff from them. I don’t have any problem with over seas shipping. I have ordered these shocks, they work great with the standard configuration spring and shipping was about 40 bucks…

Received my shocks and fork spring kit this week from BikerzBits. I live in Mesa AZ, shipping took 5 days, no hassles at all with DHL although a little pricey US $135.45. I worked with Emmet at Bikerz and he was great. Always replied to emails in short order and selected springs for my weight. Installed the shocks and once I got the spring preload set they work great. I have a 2021 PCX 150A. Yes the original shocks are really just a spring. Original equipment shocks on a price point scooter like this are meager at best.

Welcome aboard the forum(s) jbecktahoe. I have corrected your model year in your threads title. Note that I will be moving this thread to: our PCX Technical board where I believe it will get more recognition. Good Luck with shocks and Happy New Year!

---> Mel, you've still got your sense of humor! Cheers to that!! Happy Healthier New Year to you and your wife
