YSS Shocks adjustment

Post by pcx125 »

Hi all,

I just upgraded and installed a few parts into my 2011 PCX125 and very happy with everything, but except a new YSS Shocks Z-SERIES OFFSET for Honda PCX Chrome 310mm was not as I was expecting. I am not sure is it because I was installed in-correct or do I have to make some adjustment on the shocks ? ... hope you can advice.

After installed the shock, I don't feel much different with the original shocks in term of riding/on the road or cornering, but a lots of people said there is a hug noticeable ...:)
Thanks

You can adjust only the spring preload on these shocks, try to change settings on your taste.

I suppose there should be kind a YSS stick in the package, use it to rotate that big nut upside the spring. Rotating this nut you are compressing the spring, giving it more preload. More preload=stiffer spring, firmer ride. Your spring is made for a 70-90kgs rider weight, so if you are in 70-90kgs, it should work right , but if these shocks don't satisfy you at the end, you should just try another shocks..

I tried YSS G-Euro XL shocks, when I was in Thailand and took pcx for rent there. I noticed that rear wheel sticks to the ground much better than with the OE shocks. But overall the shocks felt a bit harsh for my taste.

That storage box is a bit overwhelming, I bet its responsible for at least half of the mothman sightings.

I think it looks sharp and more visibility is good.

Geez, I wish I could understand what they're saying in that video. That's a good one! Surprised to see how easy it is to adjust those YSS shocks. My Piaggio MP3 was a bit_ _ to adjust, even with the provided tool.
Thanks for pointing us to the video Reaper ;)
