That reminds me of a joke......

Daddy, why is it that brides always wear white when they get married?

Son, kitchen applances always come in white.

Slogger...enjoy your holiday thinking off how much you will enjoy the Forza when you get back....It really is a great machine...
You will find that the fuel gauge wont move from the full for a while but when it does move it moves quick
However I am getting 86/87 mls per UK gallon...both as per the reading on the scoot and from calculating on refilling
Only done 450 mls however so limiting my top speed to 50mph.
I also suspect that at the lower level of tank measure reading there is loads of fuel left but not willing to chance it...yet.
One thing...I am finding the suspension a bit hard on bumpy roads...but just a small complaint..hoping as the bike ages it softens slightly.

I was also thinking of that one as I was writing the post.

Slogger...didnt know the suspension could be adjusted?..could do so on my SWing 125 cc but wasnt aware on the Forza.
Must look the owners book again...cause I didnt notice mention of that.
How do you adjust?
and thanks for mentioning
