Re: Forza failure on Sunday - any ideas what happened?

but how does it just suddenly fail one day like that? The ECU constantly checks the battery for voltage. There's a set level below which the ECU decides it won't play any more. When the battery gets to that level it's like hitting a switch, everything just stops working. So your symptoms are nothin...

Re: Average mpg

After a fill up, and re setting the trip and average to zero. It registered over 80 mpg even before I had completed half a mile, I have now done 5miles and it is displaying 170 average mpg. Not sure how this is meant to work and wonder if it is just not working properly. I would be interested to he...

Re: Coolant in engine?

Looks like two stroke oil to me. Aye, it could well be. Ah, how I miss the smell of two stroke..... I do wind down the car window to smell it sometimes. Getting rarer :( A wee while ago there was a procession of old trad 2t scooters through the centre of town, must have been two to three hundred of...

And I'm done

Have agreed a price for my scooter and the purchaser is picking it up a week on Wednesday. So that's me finished, just don't have the desire to ride it any more. I might pop in here occasionally to check what's going on, see who's saying what nonsense, just a matter of time till some fantasist claim...

Re: Coolant in engine?

The mechanic put in Motul 7100, but I wasn't there when he poured it in to see the colour. Turns out Motul 7100 4-stroke oil is indeed red, very weird. Every day a school day. https://d23zpyj32c5wn3.cloudfront.net/images/product_descriptions/technical_data_sheets/61288/7100_4T_10W-40_%28GB%29.pdf?1...

Re: Coolant in engine?

Main causes of coolant in engine (in no particular order) are failure of waterpump mechanical seal, crack in cylinder casting, leaking cylinder head gasket. Have you had an oil change recently? Could be someone has put the wrong type of oil in. I've never seen red engine oil like that. Fork oil yes,...

A 40k mile Forza 125 with a broken con-rod is scrap.
Sell it for spares on eBay or Gumtree and get a new one.

Re: WOT for a full tank...

After running in, if you use fully synthetic oil the engine will be fine to run wot all the time.
BUT despite what you may have read on the web, the PCX will not be as fast as your Rebel.

Its because I have an Xmax 300 and am wanting to sell it. What are you getting next? Don't know. Am done with two wheels for now. Good weather has come and I have no inclination to ride at all.
