Honda ADV 160 (2025) – Stiff Suspension: Should I Upgrade?


vento

Recommended Posts

I just got a new ADV 160 and was expecting a smoother ride, but I find the suspension a bit stiff. I can feel every little bump and change in the road.
 

I haven’t ridden a bike in nearly 25 years, so I don’t have much experience with these newer scooters. Maybe I’m expecting too much?
 

I'm considering upgrading to YSS rear suspension and a front suspension kit (around 15k plus installation). For those who’ve done it, is it worth the investment—not just for comfort, but also for safety improvement?
 

Driver weight is around 93-97kg and not a very experienced rider.
 

Any advice?

Interesting, i wondered if the ADV would be better than other scooters, seems not.

 

I replaced my Click rear suspension to YSS, little to no change, maybe placebo only.

 

What helped me is going slower, avoiding short cuts which are the worst for potholes, just remembering where all the drains, humps, potholes are
