A new one will be fine so long as it was manufactured after 2015ish

Being almost 81, don't have the ability nor the patience to constantly repair or upgrade a new bike....we have one metric dealer in town handles 3 brands...has 4 full time mechanics and he's swamped..hate to buy a new bike only to have it tied up for a month because of a recallyou you wrote:Why?remida wrote:I'm looking at buying a new 300 but your posts about the recalls have scared me off.....gn2 wrote:Traded my Forza on the 1st of March and today yet another recall notice landed on my doorstep, I think that was the fifth one I've had, could be more, I've lost count and gave up caring long ago.
Something to do with the fuel pump again, that's the third fuel pump recall I've had.
Can't see me ever being tempted to buy another Honda.
The Dealer network over here in the U.K. is generally good. Recalls are handled by a government organisation called Vosa who ensures trained techs do the repairs to the correct standard.aguim wrote:I have done the pump change, and all servicing, myself. No big deal.
The real problem is NOT the scooter itself, but the now generalized poor dealer service (they
pay shit, don't even train their employees). Were it not that the bikes are that good from the start,
the whole industry should be bankrupt by now.
thanks for the reply...now..when you back up a 300...is it terribly tough on the legs......my Suzuki 800 has the floorboards a bit forward, the 300 has running boards the full length..is this a problem I'm 5ft 8 in....I have to turn the bike around in a limited space garageAlibally wrote:The Dealer network over here in the U.K. is generally good.

If I was buying a new bike I wouldn't be too worried. Most of the problems have been sorted out.
Obviously there is a very slight chance of buying a lemon but if you worried about that then you wouldn't buy anything.

why after 2015.....think this one the dealer has is a leftover from 2016 and probably a 2015 build..gn2 wrote:A new one will be fine so long as it was manufactured after 2015ish
I am 5 foot 6 and I have no problems moving the Forza on a flat hard surface. I can't push it on my grass to get to the shed but then I can turn the motor on.remida wrote:thanks for the reply...now..when you back up a 300...is it terribly tough on the legs......my Suzuki 800 has the floorboards a bit forward, the 300 has running boards the full length..is this a problem I'm 5ft 8 in....I have to turn the bike around in a limited space garageAlibally wrote:The Dealer network over here in the U.K. is generally good.

Your first link and last link are the same links. I never had the recall for the rear brakes, just the fuel pump on mine, that must have just been on the 2013 model. I don't think we even had the 2013 model in the USA.gn2 wrote:This is whyremida wrote:why after 2015.....think this one the dealer has is a leftover from 2016 and probably a 2015 build..gn2 wrote:A new one will be fine so long as it was manufactured after 2015ish

But remember that I'm a whiner therefore the foregoing links must be wrong.
The fact that there were four recalls for the Forza I bought (one of which needed doing twice) and at least five failures repaired under warranty says nothing whatsoever about my Forza.
I should have been happy for it to sit in the Honda shop so often, in fact if anything I should have paid extra for the joy of having it off the road and unuseable.
