Re: Forza 300 Rear brake pad replacement

OK, so my parts guy thought I was a PCX 150 rider and ordered those pads. Fortunately I noticed the differences. He dug around in his parts shelf and found the right ones which he had two weeks ago when I tried to get the parts. Oh well. I took the front pads off and they looked worn out but then I ...

Re: Forza hash rough ride------ after market high dollar sho

I thought the PCX was a hard ride due to poor shocks - and the Forza is worse? I hit a little 1 inch curb on my way in to a store today. It felt like I hit a huge pot hole. The front forks are awful. My front wheel is bent from a previous hit. I haven't looked at it today. I guess I should. I think...

I'll try that next time I ride in the rain.

No.
The pad wear is caused by bad caliper design and placement.
My rear caliber seems to be full of mud? Am I missing a shield?

Rear brake pad issue is partly a Combined Braking System issue?

Rain riding

I was riding my Forza 300 in the rain yesterday and noticed that virtually none of the rain drops were moving on both sides of my Honda Tall windscreen. I was going around 100 kmph and not getting very wet. I think the wind hits the headlights and whips around the side of the scooter. There seems to...

Forza 300 Rear brake pad replacement

Does anyone know of a honda forza 300 rear brake pad replacement video?

Or can someone send me the pages out of the service manual?

Or where to buy one?

My local dealer is hit and miss on their service. Most of the times good.

Thanks.

Re: New member/ Owner

I'm 5'9"(and a half!) and have the Honda tall screen. It keeps the wind off my body, and rolls rain downwards off my visor (I use that Nikwax visor stuff). I ride 45 miles of motorway every day and the screen is great. I've also got heated grips and Barkbuster Storm handguards which look after...

Yeah, I think you are right but it is going to a hard ride with no front wheel. Is Honda my only option?

Re: Installed New Givi AF1123 AirFlow Windshield Today!

The tall Honda screen is bad for me in that it is too sheltered around my helmet. The helmet now fogs up more and the front of the visor never clears. I am a short guy so maybe it is too tall.

How is the Givi in the rain?

Re: 2017 Forza 300

LED lights should be pretty easy, better suspension might cost a little more and it would be more to the point if I went on a diet.

Front wheel is bent

I bought a wrecked 2014 Honda Forza last year. I wore out the rear wheel having too much fun. I replaced it with a Michelin CityGrip. I was going to put a CityGrip on the front wheel when I noticed that the front rim has a small dent on one side. I don't know if the previous owner bent it or if I di...

OK, what is Euro 4?

I would like my missing 21cc. 300 should be 300.

I would also like the scooter to lose a hundred pounds.

And while we are being silly, let it cost a lot less.

I like the orange one, I might like the lime green and even the blue looks nice.

I put red and white danger stripes on my bland grey one.

Re: Nice video & color of the NSS300

Nice video. It always amazes me that Asian bikes have so much English writing on them. Or that so many English words have crept into foreign languages. I like the white better than my silver.

Re: Possible overheating

Check to see what the coolant level is. Mine was low and gave high readings.
