Three recalls done at mile zero

Post by Ole »

So, I bought a zero mile 2014 Honda Forza today. First time I have ever bought a vehicle that had three recalls done before I took possession. The dealer replaced the fuel pump, replaced the wonky seat strut thing, and re torqued the brake line fitting under the front dash. THAT was a bugger the mechanic said. It went from 10# to 15#. I already put 68 miles on her when I got home.

Not new here had a PCX 125 for awhile then a PCX 150. Was on the old forum before it went kaput. So far all I have done to the Forza is the Honda tall windscreen and a GIVI Trekker top case. This thing has a few more balls than my old PCXs for sure took it up to 80 mph on it's maiden cruise and it felt good and stable.

I wonder how many other Forza owners have an Iron Butt license plate frame? Anyone out there?

I have two.....one is on a Ural Patrol 650 2WD sidecar and one on a Honda Big Ruckus 250.

I've always thought the bike, more than the rider, earned the award, so until the Forza has actually made a 1000 mile run in less than 24 hours, mine won't get to wear one. :)

Good that you've got a trailer, if my experience is anything to go by you might well be needing it.

BRed I got my Iron Butt on a Honda CB1100. It performed flawlessly. But is was built in Japan.
GN2 I wanted to ride it home from the dealer but wife wouldn't take a day off work to get me there. Oh well. I would much rather ride a bike than trailer it.

I've done more IBA rides than I have registered, but I have registered several (including a 50CC). My IBA license frame faded to illegibility, and I haven't bothered to replace it. So right now my Dragonslayer frame will have to do.

I'd like to replace the Forza saddle with something more tractor-seat-shaped. I think I'd have to do *some*thing to the saddle before I try an IB ride on this urban commuter.

Pax et bonum,
