Did everyone get Dunlops?

Post by fish »

Does Honda fit these Dunlops on all Forzas around the globe?
Also, are there any other plants producing these, other than Honda/Thailand?

(I asked my salesman where this scoot was made. He said, "Taiwan, where else!"
I said, "Well, I'm asking because I can't find the sticker with factory of origin and man. date - the scoot's Birth Day. And. my son was looking at a Honda CBR250 that was made in VietNam."
If you lay on your back you will find it under the left leg sheild. Found it when I was adjusting the head lights.)
Thanks, Fish

How are they holding up? Same/better/worse than PCX stock tires? How about compared to Michelin City Grip tires/tyres.
2010 Honda PCX 125 in Thailand (White) - "White Lightning" Sold in Sept 2017 :(
2009 Yamaha Majesty YP400 in USA (Metalic Titanium) - "The Throne" Sold in June 2020 :(

Forza oem rear lasted 7000 miles which was better than the PCX one at 4700.
I didn't keep he PCX long enough after fitting the City Gripto know how far it went, but I saw it recently in a dealer who had just sold ito the third owner.
The City Grip rear was still fine and it also still had the oem front on.

Love the City Grips on my Kymco in the wet! Just superb grip for rainy braking...I ride 'like a senior on a scooter' so don't know about race cornering with 'em.
Front looks like it will go 12000, rear maybe 9500 on my 264lb LIKE200i.
I'm pretty much sold on Michelin tires on all my vehicles.
