73 MPG !

Howdy group!! When I first bought the Forza, I was getting 65 to 68MPG, but recently that number has zoomed to 72 to almost 75MPG, with the general average being 73mpg. And it's this way pretty much all the time now, from fill up to empty, and the next tankfull as well. At first, I thought it was be...

Re: Warranty Claim - water pump oil seal 2014 Forza 300

So, I put the bike on center stand and check the oil level. A little low (oil only on the bottom 5th of the crosshatching). So I'm adding oi...

Hello! Forza 300 Quirks

Hello All; this is my first post here, but I've been lurking for about 3 weeks. Recently purchased a Forza 300 to replace my 2001 Honda Reflex NSS250 which burned up in a garage fire. I had put about 25,000 miles on the Reflex after purchasing it used (with only 3k on it) in 2008. I had considered i...
