Re: Paint job

Another thing that helps a lot with plastic panels is to use an adhesion promoter. It is similar to a primer but helps paints stick better to the plastic. SEM makes great products but they can be pricey. Dupli-color makes one as well and it works pretty good. Also keep in mind that better paints wor...

Re: I broke my right hand

I busted my leg real bad a couple of years ago and had to spend 9 months in a wheelchair, no riding.

Sucks but those are the breaks! :lol: :roll:

Re: Front brake maintenance

So it was worse than I thought, partially seized and not something I could have fixed myself, £35 for the guy that did though. £1 to fix the problem and £34 to know what the problem was and how to fix it. ;) Reminds me of this story - One appeared on the letters page of Life magazine in 1965, afte...

Re: GoGoro! This is Exciting!

I have mixed feelings on this scoot. I like the mechanical design but the styling not so much. I also have a feeling this is a hipster product that will be way overpriced.

Re: A great American color!

I like the red a lot BUT at least other countries get a choice. I so hate when there is only one color to pick from.

Re: Front brake maintenance

Use a scotch bright pad! It will clean off the rust without any damage to the rotor. You can use some brake cleaner to clean off any dust left over. The pads themselves will finish the job. DO NOT use any kind of lube on the brakes!

Re: Horsepower

mopeds! A classic Whizzer has an engine larger than 50cc but hp less than 5. I assume the Chinese kits that fit bicycles are similar. So my guess it is to cover them?

Re: Preformance Spark Plug...

If you have an electric spark then you have plasma. Even a static spark from rubbing your feet on the carpet and then touching a door knob produces plasma. I don't know if the temperature of the plasma on this spark plug is too hot or not. Too hot of a spark can cause problems within the combustion ...

Re: Comparison of the 2013 PCX 150 and 2014 Forza 300 – US V

Nice review/comparison.

Thanks for you thoughts on these scoots. I am not really looking at the PCX but your insights on the Forza are very much appreciated.

Re: HONDA HP4M oil @ 1K miles

So it more of a protective screen for the pump. Makes sense and good to know Honda thinks of such things.

Re: 2015 Forza US Version

Other than color changes it is very rare for a bike to be changed after a single year. Some models take much longer. For instance Yamaha offers the TW200 which is the same design as 1987, when it was introduced. In Japan, Honda still sells the Cub which has been in production since 1958 without any ...

Re: Looking at getting a Forza!

You can fit a bottle of champagne in the lockable compartment, so no bother getting large gloves in. There is a shelf in there for phones to sit in while charging, which just lifts out to give more room. The unlockable right side pocket is too small for proper bike gloves. I was asking about the ri...

Re: Looking at getting a Forza!

OK lets shift gears a little bit. I have a couple of questions for you guys who already own a Forza. #1 do winter weight gloves fit into the right side glovebox? I would use that box for my gloves exclusively but it looks a bit small for heavy ones. #2 does the clutch glaze easily? and then chatter?...

Re: Looking at getting a Forza!

The last few days have been very cold here{Roswell, NM in the Southwest USA}. Not a lot of snow but some plus freezing sleet. I have not ridden for 3 days now. Worse is there is another storm coming in. We get one or two of these cold spells most winters. Can't wait for it to get warm again, next we...
