Looking to buy a 2015 Honda Forza w/ ABS

Post by jburner »

What should I be looking for on this particular model? It’s only got 2000 mi on it. I know there was a recall of sorts, but I’m not sure what it was even for, or if it could be done after purchase. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Call your local Honda dealer with the VIN and see what they say?

I would change the oil and filter and WFO everywhere I went!

Also change coolant and brake fluid.
Check for...
Leak from waterpump tell-tale
Rear brake light switch on left lever
Rear brake dragging/excessive pad wear
Knackered clutch bearings

Thanks for the tip. I ended up getting it for $2500 and it is in like new condition. It ended up being purchased new in Sept 2017. I changed all the fluids and put a windshield on and riding in style now.

Givi D1123ST. I took off the decorative panel and put electrical tape on the backside of it where it contacted the windscreen because it was creaking. No more noise.
