Re: Forza 300 gas gauge accurate?

I have been riding for 50 years. One thing I have learned, you never trust a fuel gauge. Ignore it and use the trip meter.

Re: more fuel capacity

I have wished for a larger fuel tank also but in reality, by the time I get close to empty my tale bone is ready for a rest stop anyhow.

Re: 2014 PCX 150 - speed for best economy

I had a PCX150 before I got my Forza. MPG was pretty much the same at any speed up to 50MPH. After that it dropped off about 25%.

Re: Ignition issue?

lithium is a grease. You should never use grease in a lock. Wd40 will help remove moisture and add a little lube but it will soon dry out and you will be back to where you started. Try either a graphite powder or spray. any oil base lubricant will attract and hold dust and dirt particles and eventua...

Re: 73 MPG !

Today I rode out a full tank of gas on the interstate into a head wind that was pretty brisk. My Forza has the tall windscreen. Average speed 75 mph and almost no throttle left.Ended up at 64.8 mpg. Not the best but still better than my car.

Re: windows 10... fail

I must be one of the lucky ones. Upgraded fron win8 to win8.1 long time ago. Got my notification to upgrade to win10. Said ok and in a matter of a very few min I was upgraded and everything is working just fine.

Re: 73 MPG !

My forza has about 2500 miles and I noticed the same slow improvement on MPG. I weigh in at 260 lbs and at a constant highway speed of 55 mph I am always right on 73 MPG at the end of the tank.

Re: Forza 300 - worried I bought a lemon!

Hahaha. I also have the 2014 Forza. It is a great bike. True they did have the minor problems you mentioned but once fixed it will give many years of trouble free service. Honda is aware of the oil leak problem and I think everyone here on the forum that has had that problem has had it fixed under w...

I would much rather have an oil pressure gauge in place of the useless gas gauge.

Re: drivetrain upgrade?

If you want that go back to a clutch and tranny bike. My suggestion is to put some miles on the bike and I bet you will find yourself loving the fact you don't have to shift gears anymore.

Re: Riding 2013 Pcx over weight limit

I think you will find that the main issues will be the decrease in top speed and the rear shocks will bottom out on bumps. The weight limit is more for suspension as a safety thing. Of course the extra weight means extra wear on the drive belt and variator. I have over loaded almost every bike I hav...

Re: Using premium fuel

I always get a laugh out of the talking points of regular vs premium fuels. If you would just google OCTANE and see why it is in gasoline you would realize that these talks are not at all needed.

You are looking at a big investment. Go rent one for a day and get a good feel of what it's like to own one before you buy one.
