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

What I run - this from USA so should be available in Canada https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/motorcycle/all-tires/sheet/diablo-rosso-scooter I installed these this summer (using 150/70 13 on rear) and they handle very nice. Not sure of longevity can't speak to that. The Dunlop Scoot Smart tires ...

Re: Wendover UT ride.

Thanks for the report and pictures. Did some long distance riding in prior years.............anymore.....an hour or so is plenty for me. Was wondering if the windshield or lack of a taller one, may have played a part in your experience?? I have the Honda tall shield on my Forza and prefer it. Would...

Wendover UT ride.

A couple of friends and I left Ely Nevada (NE corner of the state and rode to Wendover, UT which is on the Nevada-Utah border. It was a 250 mile day for me. I hit the Salt but couldn't quite break the 200 MPH mark, sigh. LOL After a 250 mile day I have decided that the Forza will NOT go to Sturgis o...

Re: 100,000 mile scooters

I have used Honda OEM belts on my Silver Wing but the price of drive belts (OEM) has gone through the roof so I was wondering with the less HP on the Forza if a cheaper belt might suffice? I am seeing 40 bucks for an eBay belt and nearly 200$ for a Honda belt with both having the exact same numbers ...

Re: 100,000 mile scooters

Do you use strictly OEM belts or have you tried some of the cheaper ones. I am at 15K and probably should look at changing mine... Thanks

Re: Replaced my spark plug.

Dave, good luck with "your" warranty work. At 68 I have some of that coming up also. As to your air filter change, just did mine. Here is a tip. The upper left screw is very hard to get to as it is covered by the plastics, an offset screwdriver works but takes some doing. I flipped out the...

Re: Replaced my spark plug.

My thoughts exactly! I have had iridium plugs last nearly 200K, so I will probably NEVER have to replace this one!!! Can't imagine putting 200K miles on a Forza!

Replaced my spark plug.

I changed the plug today. With plug in hand the correct size is not 16mm, or 5/8 but it is a 14mm! Odd, I know. Anyway I replaced the stock plug with an NGK LMAR8BI-9 an iridium plug! I use them on my Silver Wing and love them. The scoot has 15299 miles on it and I am assuming the plug was never rep...

Re: Has the Forza died?

Here in the US most of the lockdowns have long since ended, I never did any myself anyhow. Been riding most of the time, just not as many places open. Anyway, My Forza stays winterized for 6 months or more while I am in Arizona with my Silver Wing. Now my Forza is on the road and I put a 150 mile ri...

Fuel capacity?

I have a 2015 300 and the manual says it holds 3 gallons of fuel. But I went on a 153 mile ride yesterday and the gas gauge said I was on Empty when I got back to town. I was really sweating it but the bike only took 2.07 gallons so averaged 74 MPG. Do I have a squirrely gas gauge or is the book wro...

Removed buttrest/backrest

I am about 6 foot and the Forza is a bit tight for me, so I took off the buttrest to see if that helped. Wanted to gain a couple of inches but leave the scooter so it could be converted back to stock easily if I go to sell it. I gained the inches but sadly the bolt holes were UGLY and would let wate...

I have a 2015 and mine has the hatch. I use it for that purpose (maintainer). I use only one screw for the battery cover because it is such a pain to access.
