Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

I forgot to mention this white stuff on the cover of CVT on mine and I can see it on many YouTube videos too - see photo below (this is not my bike I copied it). Not sure, but I guess it is due humidity or water hitting that area when it is hot, I rarely ride in the rain and my bike never submerged ...

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Just to report back that I went to big Honda service shop in Phuket Town in Thailand yesterday, there was a mechanic who speak some English, my Thai is limited to a few words really... But he was so condescending and joking, and tried to avoid doing just about anything I asked. But at least I could ...

They couldn't replace just the backlight, so the whole dash was replaced by Honda under warranty.

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Just a quick question, does the big clutch spring have any effect on clutch shoe engagement...!? As I understand it the yellow 1500rpm or red 2000rpm that offered by the likes of Malossi only push against the drive plates at the back end, they prevent it to open easily, so it opens later at higher r...

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Actually at high speed the clutch is locked up and there is no noise. The big noise is at idle when everything is shaking loose. Okay, I am not sure where that clutch bearing is then, I try to see if I can find it once they opened it and then check it, I kind of understand what you are saying but c...

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Thanks for the info, I'm in Phuket though, it's a shame because if Honda mechanics ask me to wait inside and not able to look at what they open and check for myself I won't be happy, some of the guys working here in authorised dealers are a joke, not qualified to repair a bicycle, let alone a modern...

Re: Forza old model original Honda tall windshield

I have also seen some windshield advertised by a logo "Hero" on it here in Thailand, but can't find any info about it, probably not high quality though....

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Yes, need to check no issues with bearings and it turns smoothly and as it should. But the noise for that will be usually more at high speed I think, but worth checking...

Re: Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

Yes, I go in the next few days. What concerned me a bit was all the noises, sounds like something is loose or rattling, good point about small shoe springs, there is of course the big one too. I bet the dealer mechanics will want to change all of these, even a full clutch, but probably just one of t...

Re: Variator weights

Friend of mine changed 3 of his rollers to lighter ones on his Yamaha Aerox and kept other 3 as the stock. He was told this way he gets some more acceleration but does not loose much of the top end speed. He is happy with it, but of course not a big change overall... I will have to get Honda to open...

Forza stutter at take off but also a bit after take off

So I have a Forza 2016 with 8500km and I'm in Thailand - this might be important as it gets really hot here, specially in traffic... ! I had this issue with some other CVT bikes, stutter of clutch at take off, and some friends say it maybe due to my riding habit, but funny enough I take off almost f...

Re: New Old Stock 2015 Forza ABS Owner

I was not. It was at night and was using my helmet with shield. I had not glasses on at all. Thanks for the replies. This is very interesting as this is the only place I heard someone had the same issue as mine. A bit about my bike, I am in Thailand and got my used Forza bike Feb 2019, but it was m...

Forza old model original Honda tall windshield

I am in Thailand and have a Forza old model 2016, I understand from various forums that Honda no longer manufactures or sells their original tall windshield for Forza, I asked a few Honda shops here and they said so as well. Alternative is Givi (which I don't like) and Ermax the French company that ...
