Honda scoot commercials

Honda makes some classy commercials ...sure wish they sold those big wheeled scoots in the States! That little Repsol is pretty cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOEae9kPlmw&feature=player_detailpage&list=PLwLwP6IIpbBcVt4hTU3VUBV4SJ95bfjMU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWyR3VJ02eY&...

Rear LEDs?

I'm lousy at finding things on a search... Anyone eager to show me their solution to adding LED running and brake lights to their Forza? So far it's hundreds of $ for an imported box, then more for the mount, then more for the light 'kit'. Doesn't seem like too many even add the light kit, for whate...

What's that Trombone sound?

500 miles on my Forza so far...and I think I've decided that mini-trombone sound coming from the left side is NOT a reflected exhaust sound. Is that noise at throttle coming from the air intake? It seems louder than the muffler! If everybody is not hearing that noise from the left side ( a bit annoy...

Re: Dark screen in USA?

You would probably have to import one but it will fit. Ermax and Puig both do dark screens for the Forza. Ermax do short and high ones, Puig only do high ones. Ermax site: http://ermax-scooter.com/accueil-EN.html Ermax catalogue: http://ermax-scooter.com/catalogue-Scooter-EN (new style PCX ones too...

Dark screen in USA?

Noted on the fellow's new white Forza delivered in the U.K. that his has an all-dark short screen like my clear one.
Can these dark and short sreens be purchased in the States?
Thanks,

Re: Why no Iridium in the 2014 Forza?

Its a cheaply made basic scooter, not a top end luxury dream machine. Right. Selling my scoot. Buying another Scion xB....wait til the kids hear we now have 3 luxury dream machines! Wot is a Scion xB? Here's a second gen xB. From Toyota's young design house in SoCal. Nothing posh - just a pretty ne...

Re: to the reservoir at sun-up

Always wanted a red scooter. (although, my kids say this looks more like a motorcycle. From a lot of angles this Forza looks mostly 'seat'! Where is the pickup truck? You mean, because this is rural Ohio? Except for the guys going fishing - nobody else is awake this time of the morning. And won't s...

Re: Why no Iridium in the 2014 Forza?

What would the Iridium gain you? Some say they felt their bike rode better after swapping out, others say they cannot tell the difference. If the engine is efficient and ECU controlled, and the cheaper but reliable standard spark plug is working, will the more expensive one make that much differenc...

Why no Iridium in the 2014 Forza?

I was surprised to see that Honda had not fitted my 2014 Forza with an Iridium spark plug.
Denso and NGK both make great Iridiums - surely they make one which is a suitable alternate for the Forza?
A lot of new Japanese autos have them fitted OEM.

Re: Spanner Wrench for rear shocks

The tool kits must vary between markets. My UK-model has these items - image.jpg Well, for Pete's Sake...look at all of that! I guess they figure Americans are too dumb to know how to use all those exotic tools. I got a beer opener with the dealer's logo, a screwdriver, a lovely piece of foam (emer...

Re: Rear shock options

To add to my comments on after-market shocks.... There is one thing which I have seen that greatly improves the rider's comfort over-the-road... That is to rework the seat with more, or better quality seating-specific foam, and a recover. This costs no more than these pricey shocks....and you would ...

Re: why the PCX??

[quote="Duggle"]Same as the reasons above for me too. On the other hand, why the Forza for you? I think that if I bought another larger scooter that is capable of freeway and two-up riding that it may be the Piaggio BV350. The maxi scooter to me seems more like a large touring motorcycle l...
