Front brake disk

Post by 40jack »

So my front brake disk is basically shot and I've got a Malossi disk arriving today, does anyone know where I can find the torque settings for the disk bolts please. Cheers.

I searched Google but couldn't find anything and I've looked on this forum but only found something for the pcx but I'm not sure if it will be the same for the forza. If all else fails I'll try and ring a honda dealer to see if they could let me know.

These are from the 2014 - 2016 Forza 300 service manual (Disclaimer:I would imagine that the 125 and the 300 should be the same):

Thank you Limey that's a big big help mate. Where did you find that?

I'm going to change the rear disk as well so I'm looking for how to remove the rear wheel.

Whitenoise: I tried sending private messages and they are all stuck in the Outbox (including one I sent you asking why they are stuck!)

Any idea as to why?

Hi Limey, sorry for the delay. I opened your pm today.

I hope this answers your question about pm's sent to others: a pm will remain in your "outbox" till the receiver opens it at his/her end. Once read by the receiver that pm moves to your sent box.
So, it appears the receiver hasn't opened/read your pm(s) yet.

...the rear has a drum as far as I know. Did you get a different one than the rest of us?? I know that Honda made a few PCXs that had bake disc brakes, but I don't think they exported any of them.

This is a Forza topic, Mel. Disc brake on back too. :)

Just finished fitting the Malossi Whoopi disks and sintered pads back and front, not too bad, took me three hours. I did take pictures but not sure how to get them on here. Braking is much better imo.
