Re: Goodbye Forza 300 and Welcome NC750D Integra.

Sorry but if you put your foot in front and not on foot pegs, and you have both front and rear brakes on handlebar, then that is the definition of a scooter, CVT does not make a difference... I haven't heard a lot about DCT going wrong, so not sure, but if new then Honda will fix it for 3 years, or ...

Re: Goodbye Forza 300 and Welcome NC750D Integra.

Congrads, that bike is far superior to Forza in every way, my dream scooter, and of course the price reflects that. Not built here in Thailand so few and far to find and very expensive, same for parts and service... Only negative is small space under the seat comparing to Forza, but anyone can live ...

Re: New Forza 350

Burgman 400 is well-built but very heavy, power to weight ratio is not that good, although 400 the top speed and acceleration is similar to 300 scooters..., plus expensive here where I am..., Xmax 400 is the clear winner in this category but not offered here by Yamaha, unless you have money to burn ...

Re: New Forza 350

Put the link below through Google translator, it has very interesting in-depth info. I like the 5 clutch shoes instead of 3, Honda finally acknowledged the clutch stutter and judder problem and is improving it. Also hydrolic timing chain tensioner, first time, high tech, let's hope it lasts...! Also...

Re: Changed my belt at 16,000 miles

I'm not 100% sure about Honda Forza belt and various models and manufacturers, but I have seen on YouTube some CVT belts have an arrow on it that shows the direction of rotation and must be put in that correct direction... OP maybe the bike wasn't 5k mile...!? Here in Thailand they regularly hack th...

They sell the software for remapping of Forza ECU here including cables with connector for a special offer of ~US$55 here in Thailand... I like to remap mine but don't dare do it myself, the recommendation is to buy another ECU, new or used, then play with that, any issue, can just plug back in the ...

Re: Variator weights

It turns out Xmax has exact size rollers and compatible with Forza..., but has 17g as oppose to 21g of Forza. So I walked into a local Yamaha shop and bought 3 rollers of 17g Xmax, really cheap here, I think equivalent of US$3 each...! The mechanic put alternative 3x 21g and 3x 17g for me, so averag...

Shell Advanced Ultra "Scooter" 5w40, in Thailand... It's the JASO MB version that is recommended for scooters. The JASO MA2 version (10w40), that does not have the word "scooter" is recommended for bikes with wet clutch.. This is 100% synthetic oil. I think Motul has a similar on...

Re: New Forza 350 in thailand

Well, Thais have done the tests and the drag race on Forza 350 already, you can find it on YouTube... Still no official numbers for max BHP or Torque, but in one test it does 0-100kph in 9 sec, max speed of 155-157kph (on GPS it showed max 148kph) , and left Xmax way behind all the way in the drag ...

Re: New Forza 350 in thailand

I heard the opposite, Xmax is sporty and revvy, a bit jumpy throttle, yes a bit more power due to more cc and lower weight. But Forza more smooth operation and ride and better fuel consumption (efficiency)... , note only "heard"... !
