That is an ok reading for a Forza 300.
I've fitted a new belt recently and the numbers are the same, the new belt has 2000 miles on it.
Just before my last belt exploded at 26,500 miles, at 70mph the rpm was around 7800.
The dealer said they changed it at the 16,000 mile service but I'm fairly certain they didn't.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
