Hi, welcome to hondapcx.org

Did you buy your Forza new? If so, I would call the dealer and have them sort it out.

I called the dealer and they claimed 1 hr to remove and another hr to reinstall the rear tire. He did say he was guessing as they haven't changed a rear tire yet.
gn2 has changed a rear and said it was pretty simple. Maybe he can give some feedback.
I have the manual if you can provide a way to send the 2 pages to you.

Removal should not take more than ten minutes and that's generous.
I had a puncture repair done on mine, the whole job from start to finish was billed as thirty minutes.

That's extremely fast for a proper repair.
Was the tyre taken off the rim, inspected and plugged properly or did you just use an emergency kit and hope for the best?

Used a tire plug kit/repair. I don't trust it. I wan't to get a new tire as soon as possible. Inspected the tire a small bump but besides that it seems fine ridden a few miles on it. Even crashed my bike coming home from work. My fault not the tires. Not sure how much repair will be on the right side its not too bad.
