Re: Forza Labour Day Weekend

Is it possibly that the oil leaking from the water pump seal is blowing back and up towards the rear brake caliper?
Fine oil droplets and brake dust creating a paste and making them stick and drag? Just a thought?

Re: Top speed?

Basically speed and rpm are relative.
6000rpm - 60mph GPS
7000rpm - 70mph
8000rpm - 80mph
Forza300 redline is 9000rpm so top speed is around 90mph actual.

Re: Why no Iridium in the 2014 Forza?

Stock plug for Forza300 from Honda Canada is $37.47. If I could find Iridium for $20 I'd be happy.

What is your manufacturing month/year according to your VIN plate attached under the left locking glove box?
My manufactured date is 12/14
Only difference between a 2014 and 2015 model is no recalls on 2015 models.

Re: Left over, new, 2014 Forzas availiable

Nothing wrong with the stock tyres although many disagree. I've now ridden for 27 months on them five days/week and no issues (and we have had horrible weather and flooded roads). My rear still has lots of life in it - as good 4mm tread depth. Maybe my bike got fitted with super IRC's but no compla...

As usual, gn2 is right.
A 279cc single is going to be almost maxed out at 130km/h

Re: Oil change light actually works

I could be wrong but I've heard that you can only mix oils with the same viscosity. Mixing 10w30 and 10w40 together might be a bad idea. I think 2 people on this board replaced a bearing in the back wheel on the Forza 300 at about 20,000km. Gn2 is one of them. With the engine running and turning the...
