The panel clips are still a pain but generally I find it easier for basic maintenance than the PCX and I own both. More room. Real oil filter. Longer intervals.

The Forza 300 with its 8000 mile service interval requires almost no maintenance compared to the PCX.
Valves don't need looked at till 16,000 miles.
Unfortunately its shims so not as home service friendly as screw and locknuts.
But they probably won't need adjusting, mine didn't.

You'll find it better on nearly everything except pushing it around the garage and mileage. No comparison on the road and the suspension is softer.

The Forza 300 is better in every respect apart from turning circle and fuel consumption.
Get a test ride on one.
