New pads and discs strikes again!

As my Forza warranty expires in Jan I wanted to get it serviced and brakes examined once again and sure enough at 7k miles it needs new discs and pads again! These are the replacements from the last visit at 3k! So what happens after the next 3k? My dealer will take it up with Honda and will advise....

Re: Worn belt?

With the warranty about to run out I have the bike booked in for its 8k service. Dealer tells me that they have had about 6 other people in with pads and discs that need replaced which I suspect mine requires also again (mine were toast at 3k) . Rear tyre looks squared off too and that was replaced ...

Worn belt?

I have now 7k miles on my Forza with no issues to report other than what I suspect is a worn belt. The symptom is that the transmission makes a more pronounced clunking noise when accelerating from standstill. It is fine when moving from speed. It also has begun to feel quite slow and has definitely...

Re: 3k miles out of a rear disc and all pads??!!!!

The call was made to Honda today who will replace docs and pads under warranty - result! Thanks to GN for making me aware of the sticking caliber issue. Much appreciated dude. I haven't visited the dealer so will check out the true issue when I'm there. Worth a look at your rear disc and pads folks ...

Re: 3k miles out of a rear disc and all pads??!!!!

Hey GN - I haven't really noticed any pulsing but I have heard the usual sound of the disc rotating when I wheel it around from stationary. I can't believe pass would wear out that quickly. I can't even remember the last time I replaced them on my GS. Is this stocking problem a known issue? I will d...

3k miles out of a rear disc and all pads??!!!!

After my Forza got a front puncture I had it recovered to my local dealer. I got a phone call today to say that I need new pads front and back as well as a new rear disc as it was down to the metal - after 3k miles?!! Most of my miles are commuting and that's a mix of carriageway and motorway FFs! A...

Re: Ignition key difficulties

This or this or this should work. Put a bit "on the key" itself and insert several times (keep paper towel handy) http://www.amazon.com/Panef-Corp-Powdered-Graphite-Lubricant/dp/B0016GZQ60/ref=pd_sim_hi_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1KYJ6XZCHW959W5N7Q0Z http://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-2300D-Lubr...

Ignition key difficulties

Is anyone finding difficulties with their ignition key sticking in the barrel?

Mine has happened a couple of times and the key seems to be jammed and only by a little gentle manipulation will it move forward or backwards.

Other than a spray of wd40 I really can't think of any solution for it :(
