Thanks for showing the letter. The fix should be fast and painless. If you had to guess.... how long do you think you will keep the Forza (years and miles)?

Your VIN is very very close to mine which is perhaps not surprising as we are both in Canada. I got my letter on Monday. Its booked in for next Tuesday when the forecast is back above zero/freezing. Then its most likely straight into hibernation unlike you BC folks who will still get out at times in the winter.

The service department at my dealer says they have the part but are backlogged on service for nearly a week. The weekend is supposed to be up to 55+ F both days here. :x PCX riding it will be. ;)

Good luck folks. No reason to expect anything except successful completion of the recall but as disclosed in many posts - this is not a quick fix recall so don't expect it to be 1 hour or so!

Getting the pump was the slow part. Over four weeks. They changed it in about half a day.

My local dealer in Troy,Ohio said he has 5 pumps in stock ready to install. He also said you don't have to wait on a recall notice to have it done.

Thanks for the info!
With your personal endorsement for this dealer....I contacted the service desk today in Troy ....confirmed that they can/will do my Forza (since I did not purchase it there - but they seemd OK with that - and are willing to take over all my future servicing)
Now I need to get a weather window to ride it up there!
They said they will quote "3 hours" to do the replacement....and that there are food places I can hang out to kill 3 hours.
He said you own 6 scooters?!! !
Thanks again, I look for ward to dealing with these guys, Fish

Wow 6 scooters? My Honda salesman only owns 3 scooters and 2 cycles and I consider him a collector.

Called them today.....if weather does not cooperate...they can come pick up my Forza for a reasonable fee. I would trust them to haul my new scooter!

I didn't even get a recall notice. Got a flat so had it all done at the same time.

Read every bike mag on the tables ....
Just passed hour #5 at the Honda power dealership.
Just happy they agreed to work me in, without an appointment for my fuel pump. Rained on my 30 mile ride in...but today looked the best in foreseeable weather. Will be raining on the ride home as well, hope it won't be dark. Not fun to ride unfamiliar roads in the rain and dark. Been here since 8:30am.
Soon might find myself getting pissed at Honda for this whole inconvenience.....probably not.

Of course as soon as I posted that....they came out to tell me my fuel pump replacement was finished.
Had some trouble with a panel, so rolled in a Forza off the show-room floor to scavenge the part - broke that one, too!
My new part is on 'priority back order'. I can swing by and pick it up in my car...due to cold weather....and install it myself. It is the removing that is tricky, not the installation.
Scoot ran fine before I took it in (2800 miles) ran the same after I picked it up and drove home in a cold rain for 30 miles.
