Good point about carbon built up, I should have cleaned them more...., I remember many many years ago we used a very fine sandpaper for cleaning, adjust the gap, and reuse plugs in cars for years, now they become a throw away item...! After this episode with plugs and having to buy two, I might cons...

So I waited a few days before posting, in case what occured was a temporary thing...! It's a mystery really, before I take the bike to another Honda dealer, I thought I check things myself one more time. I don't have space or tools, so went to the small local repair shop who have been friendly and p...

Yes, someone else also said drain the fuel, but I counted I have done over 1200+km or so since that expensive fancy fuel - about 4 or 5 tank of fuel emptied and then refilled (I usually wait for tank to empty quite a bit and fill up about 9.5 liters at every visit to gas station). So if anything thi...

Well, this a long story started a couple of weeks ago, so read with patience... I bought all 24k km service parts online and changed by a local mechanic about 2 weeks ago. Also at the same time tried a new fuel from Shell for the first time (V-Power something blah blah..., a lot more expensive here ...

Here in Thailand there are many offered on Lazada.co.th or Shopee.co.th and they charge like 30 or 60 baht (1 or 2 USD) to deliver. No idea if they ship abroad and for how much. These are what I bought: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/forza-300-350-cc-forza-i664546135.html https://www.lazada.co.th...

There is another thread last year with good info, I added to that... Generally I think the problem is with excessive heat, either riding a lot in traffic or high speed in a hot country (like where I am 30-35c mostly), like 100-120kph for a couple of hours ... Sandpaper solution only worked for a cou...

Long story but I went to do my 24k service (bought all parts online) but the usual mechanic snubbed me and a bit rude, his assistant came over and said we are busy, no time... ! I think he didn't like it when I went back a couple of weeks ago, showed him the stains (another thread about that) and me...

So I'm on 24k km now and time for valve adjustment. Not checked how much dealer here in Thailand charge for doing that (I've already done all the service, buying everything online and taking it to a local mechanic), what worries me is knowing Thais, even at dealers, rushing the panel removal and bre...

I used to easily see if there were any new topics or posts under Forza 300 section, but I can't find a way to do that now, nothing PCX related interests me as I have a Forza...! Any ideas...? Before when viewing Forza 300 section could see on the right side the last post's username and date ... htt...

Interestingly, looking at the photo closely looks like the faint pinky color is now spread across the area....! This is not very obvious looking at it with naked eye, the camera I think shows it more.... Anyway, I heard that this white panel is like $35 or $40 US dollar equivalent from Honda shop he...

So I took the bike back to mechanic, he said nothing to do with me, no break fluid was used, brake reservoir not opened, only oil lubricant and cleaning foam was used etc. ...! I looked a bit more carefully, bike on side stand parked , any drips from left handlebar falls on floor board, not on paint...

I was also struggling with scratches before, what happens is that dust and dirt and oil and dirty water and stuff get in the scratches and make it dark grey or black color, horrible on white paint - that's where maybe black or dark color is better, but I prefer visibility and it's cooler under hot s...

Forgot to say , tried WD-40, sometimes after washing I rub a bit of WD-40 on black plastic parts, so I tried it on the stain...., nothing... As I mentioned before this is not brake fluid, as far as I know, it's pink color and was used to lubricate levers out of a spray can, but it seems is just as b...

No idea really, this is Thailand so they just grab whatever grease is close at hand...!
I think I'm going back there for more investigation of brake caliper and also show him the mess he made on my side panel paint, see what they can do...

Thanks for the info, I thought you greased those clips/guides at bottom right of your image, that's where the pads sit - and I guess move (!?), I thought that is where it gets stuck, perhaps also due to deformation and/or dirt there ... !? By the way, I checked to buy new ones of those two clips, bu...

Mine are cold That's good to know, I think mine shouldn't get this hot, it's not right... I also touched the front wheel disk after 5 min riding, and after even using the front brake a few times it was not even warm. So the back brake pads are sticking as they say....! Need to find a solution, I ta...

I think mine is a gloss white, as far as I can tell....!

Well, I noticed a few days after replacing my brake pads that the mechanic had sprayed the brake levers with some cleaning agent (or for lubrication, not sure), and when parked this have dropped droplets from left handlebar on paint work near left foot panel....!? now pink stains on white paint, ter...

Ok, after 200km I think the pads have bedded in, so from cold I ran the engine on center stand for like under one minute at about 50kph, rear disk was hot but I could touch it, hold and press hard with my fingers, then would get a bit uncomfortable... Then rode it around, again from cold , for like ...
