I would say not. Also ive scraped the center stand going round a few corners and caught it getting up kerbs with the PCX fully standard. Any lower would cause issues.

Yes there is but it would make it look stupid, handle worse and have worse ground clearance.

Blimey, I thought it was low enough already!!! How much lower do you want it?

You could let some air out of the tires,

I also thought it was pretty low, I always have trouble being short and having relatively short legs and long back but I could get my two feet firm on the ground.
Maybe you should check out some Thai sites, they are doing the strangest things with their vehicles so also with the PCX. I just hope your Thai is better than mine.

There isn't really a way to lower in the rear without extending the swingarm, or reducing the suspension travel, there's not a lot of extra room up in there.
I've seen a whole bunch of Thai bikes with the front lowered, so that's definitely possible. It might be as simple as moving the suspension towers up on the clamps, or as complicated as fully replacing the front suspension. You're in new territory for english speaking riders though.

Thank you for the idea. I'm just a little short and wanted it lower a bit.

I would look at getting seat rescultured then. Others with more PCX experience than me could advise whether this would affect the safety cut out switch

If you want to lower a bit for height, lowering the seat height by taking out some foam would work really well. It would be a lot cheaper than messing with the suspension.
