Re: 2014 Honda Forza 300 Won't Start

You wouldn't have happened to hit the kill switch by accident maybe? I've done that already and it took me a while to figure out that I bumped the switch. OK on the kill switch. If the kill switch is on then the motor will not even turn over. The motor turns over but is probably not getting any gas...

What size engine is in my Honda Forza 300?

People ask What size engine is in my Honda Forza 300? Do you lie and tell them a 300? Or tell the truth 279 cc? Or tell them a 250 because you think they might understand what a 250cc can do? I want them to understand it is not a weak little 49cc machine. That it is highway capable. Or do you just t...

2014 Honda Forza 300 Won't Start

My Honda Forza 300 will not start. It is on the genre stand. I turn the key. I grab the left brake. I push the start button. It turns over but it will not start. I last rode the scooter on September first.

Is it the suspension or are the Americans just too damn fat?

Re: How do you fit the Honda taller screen?

Hi Guys. Hoping someone can help me with fitting the Honda taller screen on my new Forza 300. I've seen the link on the net, about removing the three screws and then trying to lift and pull from the bottom of the nose and work your way up.

I know this is an old thread but did the injured person heal up ok? Ride again? Get good gear? Was the op male or female, young or old? I have had numerous injuries. Some of them my fault, some not. I still ride but older bones heal slower and hurt more. Super heavy rain & snow today so the moto...

Re: GIVI B37 Blade Top-Case came in today!

Glad it fits, I put mine in that way sometimes. You might want something soft between the helmet & the top case. My helmet got scratched up after a while. I got tired of trying to carefully get everything in without damage so I just went for the biggest case I could find.

Mario, Leave it. He's the type of a person who all ways have to correct others to feel he is right. Both of you are saying the same he just does not see the full picture - while literally being correct.

Err, no.
Those four bolts secure the forks in the yoke.
The wheel is retained by the screw thread on the spindle and the spindle clamp bolt.
Try taking those four bolts out and see how far you get.

Re: 140/70-13 Tyres

They slip especially bad on the crack sealant on the road when it's wet. All bike tyres will slip on that stuff. I had a potentially nasty incident on that crack hell. I put a foot down doing probably 80 kmph up by Whistler, BC. No bones were broken but I now refuse to ride the Duffy Lake RD (99). ...

Re: feeling the wind

Going 60 I feel a lot of wind pushing me arond. Does the tall windshield fix that? My Forza was much better in the wind when I put on the tall Honda windshield. Also the short shield used to let the wind punch me in the chest. I like the look with the short shield but it is more comfortable and bet...

Re: Fork Stabilizer

[quote="Mario"]Fact is that the Forza has a single crown (yoke) design front fork, known for its flex vs double crown designs like the best steering scooter the T-Max, mounting a fork stabilizer is the second best thing you can do on a single crown fork design. Forza, http://i.ebayimg.com/...
