Re: 73 MPG !

Riding back roads (40-50 mph) and using only 100% gasoline (no ethanol) I get in the high 70s - low 80s (US gallons).

Re: Headlight adjustment

Pretty sure your owner's manual shows where/how you do this. Can use a small wrench or a phillips screwdriver if I recall....I did this adjustment after bringing new scooter home. The adjustment moves both high and reg beam aiming ,(reflector is moved) Fish I should have thought of looking in the m...

Headlight adjustment

So, I take my Forza to the shop for the third time (initial service, fuel pump recall and 8,000 mile service) and for the third time, I forgot to ask them to look at the headlight adjustment. It doesn't give a whole lot of reach on dark roads (I'm outrunning the light at about 40 mph) but lights up ...

Re: NSS300 Fuel Pump problems

I just read the post with the link to the recall notice. Time to call my dealer. Oh, the manufacture date on my VIN plate is 06/2013.

Re: NSS300 Fuel Pump problems

Interesting but not too surprising at this point.... and I'd bet money that the scoot in Khan's thread "Dead Forza" was an ABS model as well. The two US confirmed fuel pump failures are ABS models and show VINs 198 and 219. The VIN range on US bikes should be easy to establish, but since ...

Re: Two 2014 Forzas at my dealer

Sounds like a good deal. I paid full retail for my Forza (but with no destination or setup or whatever-they-call-it-today fees). I didn't shop around because I've been buying from the same dealer for 30 years and they take good care of me service-wise.

Re: What are your positives/negatives about the Forza?

The good: everything except the rear shocks.
The bad: rear shocks.

Re: Dead Forza

Considering that they also came and got the bike (I live 30 miles from the dealer) I can't complain. They also drained the tank and put a half gallon of new gas in.

Re: Dead Forza

Just got a call from my dealer. He says the spark plug was fouled. Probably from bad gas. I always get my gas at the same place, so I'm going to have to shop somewhere else. Dealer also said that spark plugs aren't covered under warranty, so it's going to cost $20. Oh, well.

Re: Dead Forza

Yes, still under warranty. Battery's fine. Lights and starter work. I always like to let it warm up for a minute... the parts are made to fit at operating temperature.

Dead Forza

I cranked up the bike to go to work the other day. Everything was normal... it idled while I put on my helmet and jacket. Got on and gave it some gas. It went about 10 feet, then died and wouldn't restart. The dealer came and picked it up a couple of hours ago. He said that it would be first in line...

How about a couple greens, a few blues, and burnt orange?

When I first bought my Forza, I tested the speedo with my GPS and it was perfect at any speed.

Can't we get some color?

In the event that the good people at Honda read this (yeah, right) I've come up with some color suggestions for the Forza for 2015. What do you think? https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5501/14483560263_5e0d5708b2_o.jpg 1889_gold by ScubaDude1960 , on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5530/144670389...

Re: How Much is the Forza insurance cost for per year?

For the 2014 Forza, I pay $139 a year through Geico. Mind you, I've been riding motorcycles for 20 years and have multiple discounts (MSF, MVD, etc...) What kind of coverage do you have? I'm with Geico, also, and I paid $576.59 for a year. I've also been riding for a long time (30+) years and have ...
