The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I'm around 220 lbs and experience bottoming out every time i leave the driveway.

since i'm already dieting and working out regularly, are there any replacement rear shocks for a bit of a stiffer ride? I'm okay with the ride height going up a tad but would prefer to keep it close to stock in height.

is there any "best rear shock" replacement favorite here in the PCX forums?

If you are 220 you should not be bottoming out that shock I am 245 and my PCX was fine. Do you have your shock preload collars in the back set on the strongest preload?… You can find a YouTube on how to get it done and I think it’s in the owners manual.

Also you can get a set of YSS shocks off some of the Taiwan sites that will work fine for a couple hundred bucks. Here is one link.

i failed to find a how to for adjusting preload. upon inspection the shocks twist. is that how you set it?
