Re: Tuning the Forza 300 CVT
Those weights you posted should work well..... if you can find carbon jacketed rollers, they"act" heavier and move up the ramps a little faster and farther. They almost act like greased rollers, but are more consistent and don't need repeated service every few hundred miles to keep the sam...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
Hello all: Just got back from a road trip and have been off the grid for several days. On the 20G 24x18 sliders, when using all 6 of them, they drop the shiftpoint by about 300 revs.... 5500rpm instead of the classic 5800rpm shiftpoint you usually see with 23x18, regardless of how much they weigh. T...

Re: Oil filter wrench size?
The Forza uses a standard Honda motorcycle oil filter.....
it the same one my 1988 Shadow and 1982 Silverwing uses, so its been around for a while.
I don't know the exact size, but the filter wrench is the smallest one offered by AutoZone

Re: Burning smell
I think it is the integral catalytic converter. The RB and Reflex also had the same fishy odor after a longish ride (and still DO). A few years back I installed a BEAMS exhaust on one of the Big Ruckus scooters and disabled the PAIR valve that assists the cat by pumping air into the exhaust stream a...

Re: Comparing Forzas performances...
well, not necessarily better but faster.... yours, too, will get there with time. not all fast, hard break in results are positive. but I do believe (based strictly on riders' descriptions of their break in procedures posted on these pages) that many riders ARE too gentle, too slow and too loooong.....

Re: Comparing Forzas performances...
all of the things you mention add up to just one thing (in my mind)..... it sounds like the loaner Forza has led a harsher, harder existence than your own? most of the checkpoints on your list sound like the result of a hard fast break-in.... so smoother edges at lower miles, mostly because the mixe...

they've recently added cross compatibility for the NSS300 with the older Forza SI which shares many sub systems and some body parts.

Re: How do you pull off Honda FORZA front fairings??
Ok, this is for a Forza NSS300, right?? :D but, you didn't specify whether you meant front right upper or front right lower.... for the front right upper, start with the windshield trim garnish and work down for the front right lower, start at the center bottom panel, under the radiator, and work up...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
Robert, I installed the 24x18 sliders in one of the Big Ruckus scooters... it already has a Veypor harness and should show any gearing gains from the taller weights. Any test weights should be run for at least a couple of hours or couple of days, before evaluating them.... they almost always act too...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
I really like 20g sliders w/15g rollers...great acceleration, good fuel mileage and a useable top speed of ~87mph. just using the tach, speedo and fuel gauge as tuning aids shows it to be the best all around combination. I'm still waiting to see how close I can get with the tuning before checking th...

Robert I have a video for you! :) No, it's not a top speed run, but just a simple high speed merge from the shoulder of the road onto a 75mph interstate... it shows 0-80 time. I had just ridden the Forza north about 150 miles to meet several riders coming from Canada and escort them down. I was ridi...

Re: Warranty Claim - water pump oil seal 2014 Forza 300
Since you know it works well, get a replacement clutch for your FES250 (that's a Foresight, right?) and use it in your Forza. The Forza uses the old standard CN250 clutch, the same one used in every mid-sized Honda scooter since the Elite and Helix, but there are dozens of versions... just be sure t...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
unfortunately our Forzas can never match that and still have a reasonable topend..... we have the same engine but the SH300 has a huge bottom end advantage on acceleration: SH300i Final reduction 8.571 NSS300 Final reduction 7.537 no matter how light you go in weights, with your Forza, you can never...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
if you mix two different weights of sliders, you still get a curve that looks like sliders....rapidly climbing rpm but sliders are very linear as to their rpm/weight ratio..... you can easily target a specific rpm shiftpoint with sliders and hit it reliably. rollers are not linear..... they flatten ...

Re: honda forza 300 - help from Italy!
From what I've seen, I think it would go like this..... his 6 sliders would beat your roller/slider mix in 1/8 mile, but by 1/4 mile you would be closing fast.... at the end of 1/2 mile, you would be out in front and pulling away. he was turning 8400 rpm at 80mph..... my Big Ruckus is rev limited to...
