Re: Ahead of it's Time Perhaps?

...."In 1938, Salsbury introduced a more powerful scooter with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This was the first use of a CVT on a scooter. It was such a success that Salsbury attempted to license the design to several European manufacturers including Piaggio."

Re: Tuning the Forza 300 CVT

I would think that wear of the belt and rear tire would affect top speed more than the 108 gram total weight.
How much milage on both of these?
What size rear tire you running?

Re: BIKE JUST STOPPED

The easiest thing to do is sell it and buy a new one. No need to order parts, look what's wrong or swing any wrenches. Or take it to a place that can fix it.

Re: Making the rear brake pads last???

Oh no I hope that's not true.
I added the pads to my cart then hit the "PayPal Checkout" button and I was done.
I'll probably get an email today saying they can't deliver.

My bike has almost 12,000km now so I orderd a rear CityGrip from Frortnine for $69cdn with free delivery to replace the OEM. I already have a new muffler gasket and new stainless clamp on hand.

Re: Won't start. New battery. All lights turn on except head

Shouldn't the fuel pump come on for 2 seconds when you turn the key to run to build pressure and prime the system?

Re: Won't start. New battery. All lights turn on except head

Not sure if it's the same on the PCX but on the Forza the Check Engine Light (CEL) only comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out when turning the key to run.

Re: Maybe buying a 2015 Forza

I would look for a Forza with ABS but that's just me.
Bringing 600 pounds to a quick stop from 75mph while swerving in the rain can be done safety 99.99% of the time but that one time it can't be might be painful.

Re: 2016 Honda Forza 300 Starter Motor won't Start

Did the dealer give you a walkthrough of how to start the bike? It's not the bike it's you.
Side stand up?
When you squeeze the left brake lever and left lever only, you will hear a tiny click. You have to keep squeezing until you hear another click before the bike will start. Listen for two clicks.
