Belt Case Corrosion !

As I was cleaning my bike (2017 Forza 300) I pulled off the black plastic belt case cover and was shocked to find severe corrosion of the aluminium case. There were strips of foam stuck to the inside of the plastic cover and these were soaking up and retaining water and probably salt etc from the ro...

Re: Need Help - How to change fork oil please!

I have changed the fork oil in my 2017 Forza 300, up from 10 weight to 12.5 weight. Not sure if it will make much difference and the weather is a bit grim to try it out. To change the oil the fork legs need to be dropped out and the end caps removed by compressing the cap against spring pressure whi...

Re: Lubricating the Center Stand - 2015 Forza 300

The stand can soon seize up if not lubricated, say, every year, but a bit of a pain to remove. However, as the pivot shaft is hollow I was able to modify it to accept a grease nipple so lubrication is now really easy. I took the shaft out, (using the washer trick on the spring), and then made an alu...

It was covered by Damon of Motorcycle Seatworks in Wyke. He copied the 'Maltese design' from a previous post here.

Another seat mod' - old Forza

I knew when I bought the Forza the seat could be a problem, not enough leg room for the feet forward style I prefer. The pictures show my take on the seat modification, more pictures when it is back from being reupholstered. 1. A used seat bought from Poland via Ebay. The only problem found was the ...

Forza 300 2016 - Adjustable lever recommendations?

I would like to upgrade the levers on my 2016 Forza 300 to some where I can adjust the reach. I would prefer some that look similar to OEM rather than those apparently made of Lego.

Any recommendations?

Re: 2017 Forza 300 Brake lever starter bypass

"Why do you suppose the legislation was enacted?" The legislation was enacted because it is a good idea for a 4 wheel vehicle and it is too complicated to make exceptions so the law is a blanket cover and therefore forces things that are not needed. The Forza parking brake is a fair exampl...

Re: 2017 Forza 300 Brake lever starter bypass

I believe the starter inhibit switch is there only to comply with legislation that states every vehicle with auto transmission must not be able to start unless the brake is applied. That makes a lot of sense for a 4 wheel vehicle but since the scooter can only be started either on it's wheels with s...

2017 Forza 300 Brake lever starter bypass

It is a subject well debated whether to bypass the brake lever switch to allow the bike to start without pulling hard on the left brake lever. My view is that if the engine were to stall whilst in a moving queue of traffic I would prefer to just hit the button to restart rather than come to a dead s...

Forza Press Info - Translated

I have just acquired a Forza 300 (2017) to sit next to it's grandfather a Honda Helix (1992), it is interesting to see how the Helix has evolved into the Forza although I have yet to see any common part...
