Can someone help me with YSS shock ?

You need to be looking at pcx shocks. They are spring rate and valving specific.

...I think these YSS shocks look the best on a PCX...........

They do look spot on tbh

Are these the ones? http://www.powerbypcx.com/achat-amortis ... 80858.html

no not the same...the ones you showed have the reservoir at the bottom - mine's at the top.....

So , is it still fix for PCX125 ?

So, it looks like the POWERBYPCX shocks are a bit over $300 with shipping to US. Hatari, where did you get yours from? thanks

Ah, but PowerbyPCX has offered a 10% off coupon to PCX forum members. Request the code via PM. Look under our "Vendor For Sale forum" > Accessories for PCX > Pg.6

I have a question, will the YSS shocks shown by PowerbyPCX (on Page 4) also fit the 2015 model? I'm guessing Yes(?)

Hello dear forumers,

I am a lucky owner of the new pcx 125 2014. I like everything in this model except the rear suspension and windshield. I already read this forum and decided to YSS z-offset suspension TE-302-310T 70-90 kgs. Contrary to expected it had only spring preload adjustment and not rebound dumping.
Anyway, after playing with the spring preload I found that it is perfect when I drive duo (120kgs) but still too harsh when I drive alone (75kg). I feel that suspension has little bouncing on the road irregularities and thus still hitting hard on the back like the original.

Could you please recommend what should I change to make it softer? Do I have to buy a smaller size for 50-70 kgs (smaller spring rate) or try the one with adjustable compression and rebound dumping? Or try the one with adjustable size?

Thanks in advance!

Good questions

Spring is too hard

The "upside down" shock construction is more effective, because of the less unweighted mass on the wheel. I also very interested to buy these YSS G-PLUS shocks, but I am heavy 115kg, and the G-EURO XXL (110kgs) seems the better choice, but their cans are on the lower side (

So what to buy, the YSS G-EURO XXL with the right marked weight 110kgs (lower tank position) or the YSS G-PLUS with the right construction and NO ANY infromation about the rider's weight?

Hatari, what is your weight? What is your opinion about these shocks? Thank you.

Just installed a set of YSS Hybrid shocks and big difference IMO much more planted smoother ride I love them. Those stock shocks on the PCX are junk wish I would of changed them out months ago. Ordered from Power by PCX for $175 US to my door took about 21 days.

Okay - interesting, but we need to know if these springs were specifically rated...
Worried now about YSS G-Plus shocks rated 70-90kg might feel really hard for me (I'm 82kg, ride with my son now 14kg=100kg, wife 40kg=140kg max). Riding on unmade road loaded up means the centrestand bounces on the road! But the bike still feels rough over rough roads with just me n son 100kg.

How heavy are you?
Important to note you're upgrading the older pcx, and wondering if the 2015 PCX150 has the same shocks...

This is just personal, but I don't like the reservoir on the shocks and not paying 300 or more for scooter shocks......., so I put on the Z type YSS shocks… For me they are absolutely perfect after adjusting them to the mid to soft setting… HUGE diff over stock. Got them from Bikerzbitz , they just came back in stock...only 130 with shipping

I agree. I have the z series myself also and love them in every way. It blend in nicely with the original lines of the scooter and as I'm not racing the scooter the external reseorvoir would not give me anything more (both can be only adjusted for preload only).

For the OP the stock shocks are not hard at all. In fact the hard hits on bumps that you feel as harshness is the stock shock fully compresses and you hit the limiter.

Please keep in mind that the honda bali has a monosohock system, so even if the ends of the shock would fit you should buy 2. Plus as the whole swingarm assembly is supported by a single spring on the bali the spring rate would be off for pcx.

The yss product number is quite descriptive including type, spring rate, damping lenght etc. So in case you can get the exact product id for the given shock you could have a better educated guess on wether they would fit or not.

Although it's a comparative (heavy isn't an absolute) I'm heavy compared to you. Should I be worried.

I'm not btw
