Re: Which tyres are recommended for good milage/grip on the Forza 300/350?

I'm in the market for new tires for my 2016 Forza, been using the 150/70-13 City Grip. However, I cannot find the Michelin in stock anywhere, Nor any of the other popular brands I have always relied on. No Dunlops, no Avon, no Michelin, no Metzler. But I see the Pirelli Diablo Rosso in stock. May ha...

Re: Bought a Forza - Forum Hiatus

Love that 2018 you picked up. Does it have a 13” rear wheel too? That 13” wheel on the 2016 would be my only complaint. Otherwise I love it.
Cap.
2016 Forza.

Re: Has the Forza died?

Been riding the Forza for the past two weeks. Serves my daily commute and one 130 mi round trip to photograph some hummingbirds. Replaced the rear tire 2 weeks ago, re-installed the original Dunlop I had in storage. Will order another Michelin when this tires runs low on tread in 2k mi. I need new r...

Dual sport tire option?

Hi. Been around a while. Haven’t checked in much. Still riding the 2016 PCX and the 2016 Forza. Is there an tire option at all that gives better traction on packed gravel roads or unimproved roads such as what is found in state forests? Something similar to what could be found on a dual sport KLR or...

Re: Going camping

I have June 15 thru June 24 penciled in for my yearly adventure trip. I'll be riding the Forza again. Heading to Smokey Mountains Nat Park via the Blue Ridge Parkway camping everyday rain or shine. Hopefully shine! I'm riding my PCX this month in order to preserve the tread on the Forza tires. Packi...

Re: tire size....

Thanks again, that’s a big help, I left the dealer a message to hold my order....again thank you! Hi Frankie, I increased the tires on my PCX with the help of Homie's video. I will say those larger tires make this scoot a great deal better. The front tire may catch small stones and rub the plastic ...

Yo dude....horrible story. Having a scoot stole is bad enough but to attack you and steal it? Really sorry.
I'm licensed & permitted to carry a concealed weapon in PA. Would I use it? Hard decision for sure. But if I felt my life was in danger.....

Re: YSS shocks adjustment question

Are these the new YSS shocks just put out this fall for the Forza? I was told YSS would have a new offering in late Sept? Not sure how accurate that info would be? Does anyone know? I shall answer my own question! Yes they are the new product from YSS. I purchased a set and installed last week just...

Re: Forza Shocks—YSS

Wow - those "Topline" versions are pretty drool-worthy. I wonder how much they cost and where a US (or any non-Thai) buyer might find such things. You can try emailing sales@YSSusa.com and speak with Klaus. Or try Bikerzbits and pay $125 shipping. I did, hopefully arriving tomorrow. The o...

Forza Shocks—YSS

I was told YSS would have a new rear shock offering after Sept ‘17. Has anyone looked into it? Any info? Hard to locate information on the web. I also saw a Steer Dampening by YSS setup for the Forza which may have been out for a while. I can see how that could make a nice ride even better at 55–60 ...

Forza Steering Bearing

Has anyone experienced any issues with the fork bearing in regards to looseness? The Forza is such a long machine and possibly what I am sensing is a combination due to length and that 13" rear wheel. But something just doesn't feel right at higher speeds. The manual does states the bearing nee...

Re: Why Is The Throttle So Hard To Control At Slow Speeds?

Sir...s-- I also have a 2016 Forza with approximately same distance on the odometer and I have no such issues. So there is certainly an issue here with the pilot's Forza. Myself if confronted with this challenge I would first check to see if the throttle is properly adjusted within specs which if it...

Re: Self-authored Honda Forza 300 Review

Nice write up Hugh! I've owned my Forza since July. I absolutely love it. Put about 4000 mi on it including a trip to Smokey Mtn Nat Park from Eastern, PA in Sept. I downsized from various Adv style bikes.

Re: OEM from PARTZILLA....

Thanks Homey. Good video. I need a lower panel for the Forza.

By the way. Rode the Forza from home to the Smokies and back 2nd week of sept. 1650 miles in all.
The Forza is a very nice ride. Just don’t gun it on wet grass with a heavy load!
