Hi - I have a relatively new 2013 pcx 150. I'm kind of tall and about 235lbs.
Love my pcx, but bumps and small potholes jar the hell out if me.
Looking for advice... will aftermarket shocks help? Do I replace just the rears or is serious work on the front recommended too? Brand name recommendation? Are they hard to replace?
I miss the smoothness of my larger cycle... thanks for any advice on this!
Shocks recommendation maybe?

Re: Shocks recommendation maybe?
The shocks on the PCX are the single thing you might change. I would get the least expensive adjustable upgrade. The stock shocks make for a smooth ride for most. A big guy needs more. I'm in Asia where the upgraded shocks are $45. Easy to install, relatively speaking.

Wait at the bottom of the stairs late at night and Boo!
That's the basics but you can improvise, let us know how it goes.

Just Fitted the YSS- G Euro in XL.
Fixed the problem of Bottoming out immediately.
Im 5'11 and weigh 99kg, i also take my Daughter on back to and from School. No more problems and easy fit.
Took less than 45Mins. And didn't have to Adjust the new shocks. Fitted straight out of the box.

Re: Shocks recommendation maybe?
Bikerzbits told me the YSS is changing G-Euro XXL shocks for a new line of heavy-duty shocks, that will be released at the end of August, 2015.

Well, crud. Bikerbitz is out of all their YSS shocks. Looks like I'll wait until next month sometime when their new stock arrives?
