Re: Regular top speed

I appreciate the feedback! Quick question regarding a noise from the rear final gear area… when idling there is a kind of howling noise. Is that normal? I just switched helmets so I don’t know if it’s always been there. I only have 5800 on the clock Hard to tell without hearing it. My 2013 - with o...

Don't like windshields on bikes.
Use a helmet with a faceshield.

Re: 100,000 mile scooters

It is interesting the money conversion rates. You give 1458 THB - $55.29 Cdn but in Canada Bikerzbits considers it to be $71.53 Canadian dollars which is about 30% higher. Still a good price and I am continually amazed at how fast stuff from almost half way around the world gets here with a very lo...

Re: 100,000 mile scooters

Drive belts vary a lot. A Chinese belt is $45 in Canada A Thailand belt is $88 in Canada A Honda Canada OEM drive belt is $214 It is probably the exact same belt with different packaging, who knows? I bet belts in Thailand are substantially cheaper than here. My current belt has 33,600 km on it I t...

Some things you are better off using the OEM
I believe drive belts are one of them.
Got 30k on mine, had the belt cover off to add some bling, belt still good

Re: Big bore kit

120 kmph is not fast enough for you? The 2020 Forza 300 do almost 130km/h I’m living in Thailand & know of at least two places that supply big bore kit for our scooters. I don’t want to get into the politics of why I want to go faster ..why didn’t you buy a bigger bike etc. I’m here asking the ...

Re: Has the Forza died?

With frequent oil changes, keeping up on the sked maintenance, and some care - No reason a Forza sould not go 200,000 without any issues. Ride it Like you Stole it is the best advice. Bikes that are babied produce less power, vibrate more, and don't last as long. But this must start from new - easy ...

Re: 0-40 or more acceleration times

I am old - Ancient according to some.
I still have a "Need for Speed" Ride all my bikes hard. Full throttle acceleration most every time the road ahead is clear.

Never cover mine. It's a bike - made to get wet.

Tires are all that keep the bike planted on the road.
Use worn/old tires at your peril

Re: Has the Forza died?

VSS - vehicle speed sensor - is located in the final drive case.
Remove air cleaner housing and rear wheel. Unbolt sensor.
So it counts revolutions of the hub. Change the tire diameter/ circumference and this will effect the speedo reading

Re: How to remove top brake light cover on 2021 Forza 350

Isn't the latest Forza made in Italy? Not sure it's made in Italy. Supposed to be able to tell from the VIN, but that looks like it's made in a Japan factory. Really confusing. Here is the list of production facilities - https://global.honda/about/group/category.html?category=manufacturing-facilities
