Looking for new rear shocks
« on: August 03, 2022, 01:09:26 AM »
I have a 2004 People 150 with 19k miles. The rear shocks no longer do their job. What are my options for after market shocks at ~$150 for a pair. I would appreciate any ideas.

There's not much aftermarket support specifically for older Kymcos. Might want to take one off and measure then search for replacement scooter shocks of the same/similar dimensions

Then...the stock shocks lasted 18yrs, if you can't find some aftermarket ones suited to the weight of your scooter with typical rider.

Good point. They have served the scooter well.  Maybe just replace with stock.

Do those stock shocks have adjustments? If so, have you tried that?

I’ve recently posted a review of YSS shocks under the Downtown sub heading.
