Re: Tyre valve gone!!

I have replaced a valve with the tire still on but it is better to take the tire off. It was on a cheap Chinese scooter with really cheap tires with really thin sidewalls. too much swearing involved.

Re: Tyre valve gone!!

undo the clamp on the muffler, undo the the bolts holding the muffler on. Twist the muffler a few times and it should just pull off. It is heavy. You will need a new gasket between the muffler and the manifold pipe. I have never in about a dozen times of removing the rear wheel in the last 178,000 k...

Re: Time for a New Tire?

It is going to get warm next week, I am going to get down on the ground and mark all the wear bars with a white wax crayon

It always shows me how my rear tire is lasting. I might have to pay my whole CPP cheque for a new tire and eat hot dogs for two weeks.

Re: Time for a New Tire?

I rode my 2014 Forza almost 300 today, a little cold. I need a new bladder, too many road side stops, too many zippers to undo, sometimes in a hurry. Carry on nothing much to see. 200 km to Lytton and back took me almost all afternoon, too many construction delays. some rain , some sunshine. Too muc...

Re: Forza into my truck?

I am staying home today, 5C with rain and snow. 32km winds, too cold, too old to enjoy the weather. I watched a guy with wide ramps riding a GS (?) into the back of a pickup. I could probably do that on a Forza but too scared to try. I had a brief look at my Pirelli Rosso rear tire, I need to order ...

Re: Newbie looking for guidance

Some Americans loose their motorcycle license, medical or impaired driving and buy a scooter. The Forza 300 is a heavy pig that requires a full motorcycle license in Canada, over 49cc

Re: Newbie looking for guidance

spin the front wheel if you can, I just replaced my front wheel bearings but they had 100,000 miles of abuse actually 178,000 km ridden so far. Check for recalls done, there have been a few. If you buy one, all of the gas gauges are inaccurate . Use the trip odometer It is an almost 300CC SCOOTER. I...

Re: Time for a New Tire?

I recently got my motorcycle license back after a doctor in the ER said I was blind. He wiggled fingures and I was unconscious and did not answer right. I replaced the bearings on my front wheel, the balls were falling out. Runs better. I was recently declared PWD, person with a disability, (Brain D...

Re: Forza 125 with 300 engine

I don't doubt it can be done but is the result legal to ride in your country ?

People put bigger engines in 49cc bikes all the time but I doubt if they are legally allowed on the road

Re: Forza 125 with 300 engine

interesting idea but sounds like it will cost a whole bunch of money to make it work.

Brakes &tires would be all wrong

with enough welding anything can work

But can you legally ride it and get insurance.

Re: Winter storage

I had a stroke and my Forza was in storage for almost a year. I recently tried to start it. Nothing happened. I thought the battery was dead and hooked it up to my solar charger. I took things apart and put a voltmeter on places. I was about to give up. The Forza was on the centre stand. I was putti...

Re: bead leak on front tire

I have done rim sanding in the past an it worked . I am still suffering from my stroke. I find it very difficult to do any work on the Forza. I am currently on a Drivers license suspension. I am not allowed to drive my truck. I feel awful., In a lot of pain from a blood clot in my leg.

bead leak on front tire

my front tire is leaking at the rim. should I hit the rim gently with a rubber mallet to bend it enough to stop the leak? should I throw to a 50% used Shinko tire away? How about some Ride-on tire sealant? Chuck the Forza in the dump? my body is no good. the doctor says I can't drive or ride until I...
