I need to drop the forks on my Forza 300 - where and how do you support the front of the scooter?

I used to use an old car battery under the bodywork.
Have a feel around underneath, there's a fairly solid bit in the middle near the front if I remember correctly.

I don't know if it is the same for a Forza but for my PCX I grab an old gallon paint can and put it directly under the front mind-body. There is a protective plate on the bottom of the bike where the engine is. That is a good place to put it. Just have someone put weight on the passenger seat area while the bike is on its center stand. It should lift the front just enough to allow the paint can to slide right under the bike there.

There is a plastic/rubber reinforcement under the body where the front side ends (before the front wheel). If you get on your knees and look closely, you can see that it is supported by the frame of the motorcycle.
You can just jack it there using a car jack.

Why are you dropping the forks to change a wheel??
