Honda Forza Nss300 electrical problem

[Alin]

Hi to all! I have an electrical problem with my Forza Nss 300. Very often all the lights are glittering and I have no power to start. I've charged and measured the battery, after taking it from charging was showing 14.3v. I left it and measured the second day, was 12.7 v, after one week 12.4v. I've put it back on the scooter and started right away, but when I'm taking out for a drive, after a few stops, I have the same thing, lights glittering and no power to start. Once it stopped while I was driving! What can I do? Thanks for all answers and suggestions!

Seems like your bike is discharging the battery. First thing to check is to see if the battery shows charging when running. Probably have a bad ground or the alternator/stator or rectifier is bad.Mostlikely the rectifier.

Start by just checking the battery connections for tightness. I had similar symptoms for a while and when it finally didn't start at all I opened the cover and simply found the connection loose. After I tightened things and I haven't had any problem for over a year. Good luck

Not sure where you are from but there is a recall on certain 2014-2015 model Honda Forzas posted on the internet pertaining to improper application of sealant to the starter relay switch which can cause resistance along the main fuse thus potentially causing an interruption of voltage to the main electrical system. You need to research and find out if the fuel pump and starter relay switch recalls were ever taken care of on your Forza by the previous owner. If you just don't know or you are the original owner then those recalls need to be taken care of. That would be a worthwhile task for sure.
