Re: Drive belt

All the drive belts are probably made in the same factory in China??? who knows? If you run any belt long enough it will probably break. I have broken 2 or 3. they get spit out the back but they also wrap around the clutch. pull bits out with pliers. I was riding along and all of a sudden the engine...

Re: I want Help Decoding Odd Noises on My PCX 2023

I wore out my front wheel bearings on my 2014 Forza. It was not obvious.

Re: Oil check

rest on top with the scooter on the centerstand. It does not make much of a difference if you screw it in

Re: First Ride of the season

I rode up to Boston Bar, BC the other day. About 130 km return.

Two guys were filling up Aprilla motorcycles when I went in to get my ice cream . The guy riding the RSV4 super bike was trying to turn off his alarm and beating the crap out of the guy who jumped on his bike to steal it. Nasty stuff.

Re: First Ride of the season

the lottery does not like me. The front tire still has air but I have not ridden it yet.

Too much brain damage and pain. A Pretty nurse wants to know what I eat. I made a food journal, it is not good. Maybe she won't ask. Old age sucks!

Re: First Ride of the season

too much brain damage. I felt like a donut and a coffee today. I jumped on the old scooter and rode to Tim Hortons in Popkum BC. The chocolate glazed was good and so was the Double double. My lottery ticket was no good. The trip was too short so I went to Yale BC to ad a few km for the gas fill-up T...

Re: Grafite exhaust gasket

$50 in Canada from Honda Canada

Expensive and according to Honda you need a new one every time the muffler comes off. I reuse mine until it leaks. EBay is cheaper

Re: Engine oil

the Honda Forza 300 will run with almost any oil I think my DR650 came with fish oil by the smell. It was a dry clutch so oil does not matter.

Re: First Ride of the season

My Avon 140/60/13 Viper Stryke now has 11,724 km on it. The wear bars are a little strange. I would consider tire worn-out but it still seems to work well. I have a Heidenau in the shed ready to go but the Avon still has air in it. The 2014 Forza 300 has 193,000 km on it now. I need to do another oi...

Re: Final Drive Oil revisited

A big screwdriver under the rear shock makes it easy align the lower shock bolt holes. Put the scooter on the centerstand.

Re: Wind deflecter

no clip on but I did put a factory tall windshield on my 2014 Honda Forza 300. I like it better than the short one. One problem with less wind in my face was that I was going 105 kmph in a 60 kmph. zone. The RCMP gave me a ticket and threatened me with jail time and a $2000 impound. It was Friday an...

Re: Want to join the community 2014 Forza nss300

my 2014 honda Forza 300 has 192,000 km on it (119,000 miles)

Just keep changing belts, oil and tires and brake pads I have done nothing else. No valve checks, it keeps clumsy mechanics away from the engine.

Ride slowly. It is a 300 almost. Don't try to ride 80 mph. I ride 100 kmph fastest.
