I can see no reason why they would change it u til a completely new model comes along.

I’ve got 22 model with same problem

It was fine when I traded it in in 2017. Shame it got smashed up though.

Well least of all you know the workaround now Ryan

@@Fatblokeonamoped do you know what the dealership did to completely fix the problem? Or which dealer so I can contact them and ask lol. I’m in Thailand and it’s messed up nobody here knows a solution. My local dealer here in Thailand also says I need to do an oil change every 2000km!

@@ryanguy2570 Nope sorry. It was a few years ago now but if I remember, it's to do with the locating lug in the frame coming a bit loose. Simply tightening it up will stop the flap misaligning. As the video shows though, it's very simple just to prise it open if it does happen.

@@Fatblokeonamoped all good. Thanks so much for your help. It’s just frustrating because when you buy a brand new bike it shouldn’t have this problem. Take care!

It is course buy the petrol fumes

No probs.

...so was the storage space.

My dealer said it didn’t need running in, just let it warm up properly. I hit 81 (indicated, so about early 70’s) in the first month I had it, but just the once. I changed my rollers to Dr. Pulley ones not long after, and that made a very useful difference to acceleration and kept a good top end.

@@Fatblokeonamoped so is the speedo a bit off if you hit 81 but early 70's also dr pulley ? Would that be different rollers

Neil Carr Yeah the speedo is inaccurate, download a freebie GPS App for your phone and test it out. Yeah, I bought my Dr. Pulley rollers from their website direct in Germany/Netherlands (I can’t remember which) and went for all the weights they recommended but ended up with just the lightest ones in the end. Better acceleration and maintained the top speed. Before I traded the bike in, I swapped back to standard and couldn’t believe how sluggish it was AND I was hitting the Rev limiter at an indicated 72(ish).

Thanks Robert. Phil wasn’t on his bike when he was killed but in his van driving home from work, nephew in the passenger seat. He was a very keen rider though and that’s why we do the ride. Hopefully see you with us for this years one.

@@Fatblokeonamoped evening. when and where will it happen?. hope to meet you there.

Hi Robert, all info is on www.philsride.org

Glad it helped

I have had this easy to fix just spray a fine oil around lid problem solved

I just bought one too traded my 1000cc in.... what you think of it ?

I find the 300 mirrors ok... not as good as my fz1 fazer but ok for seeing cars but a better rear view would be a bonus to give a better picture of the rear

Wish they would put out an extended mirror kit for it

@@danielallen839 Yes, I'm on the 350cc version now, and the mirrors have not improved. I do love the scoot, 60-70mph comfortable cruising, 83mpg, great little touring bike, handy to do the shopping. Brill!

@@marcinpiak3540 no matter what engine you get on it its an extremely capable machine honda did a fantastic job on it i im just on a cbt and it's the absolute limit of what you can have and it still feels like a quality bit of kit plus the weather protection is nice

@@danielallen839 Totally agree. I've had a lot of 900cc+ machines, but this is my favourite. Great fun blazing ahead at the lights ahead of the boy racers! Screen is great fully up for colder/wet weather, and great fully down in the heat. Enjoy!

Having covered over 13000 miles on a Forza 125 through all seasons, I can highly recommend.. Just upgraded to the new 300..

drewby dude excellent! I found a 2016 125 version with 7000 miles for £2650. Very happy so far! I’d have liked the 300 or an Xmax 300 but slightly outside of my budget unfortunately. I’m was thinking on the way to work that the fuel meter must have an issue as it hasn’t moved in a few days of commuting but I’m guessing it’s just a very frugal engine!

Hope you enjoy bud... Having just picked up the new 300 I can say it follows in the 125s tyre tracks nicely.. going to try and post a review very soon..

I haven't a clue what that is. Styling is a subjective thing so there's no accounting for personal taste and a scooter is a scooter, no matter what it looks like.

Its a Scooter with a Sport Motorcycle Body, you ride it like you would a Motorcycle, the dealer told me about this one so I looked it up but still prefer the Roma due to it not looking like a scooter on the outside. lol

Not everyone wants a sports bike

Yes true, sorry for stating my personal option on a nice alternative to a normal looking Scooter, I was actually trying to find this mini FUERZA bike that people was telling me about but typed in Forza and thus got me confused on why they told me this was the same as the Hornet lol So in all this was what I was looking for www.icebearatv.com/product/pmz125-1 Sorry for my comments/ Stay safe out there.

I see what you mean. It's quite a bit different.

Yep. It was a step backwards from the S-Wing's mirrors.

Very good indeed. I do a 160mile round trip to visit my mum and it'll do motorway speeds very well. Cruising around 65 (indicated), the mpg averages around just over 100mpg though, but this depends upon the ambient temperature and prevailing weather.

Not in my experience. It's set up to run on 95RON so running it on anything higher should make no difference, but I did try it for two tank full's and noticed nothing extra at all. Of course, some of those other fuels do claim cleaner running and keeping you engine in peak condition. Those claims I can't substantiate. I have been running mine on the Dr. Pulley sliders though which does make a difference. Full video review will be coming soon.

+TheHorsepigs thanks mate. I've literally just bought one now. get to pick it up within the hour

Cool. I'm sure you'll love it. Check out the Facebook Group link somewhere down below too.

+mentalplayground Yeah. Just making sure people are kept on their toes. I'll make sure I sack the script writer for the next one.

+Erdal “Eric” Gochmen Yeah, it's a great little Scoot. I'll be doing some new video reviews soon.

+TLMYC Very good. It'll pull 70mph easily enough and can wind up to more if you stick with it.

+Mohamed El-Rouby Thanks. Long distance isn't too bad but it's not quite as good as the S-Wing as that seat was more deeply padded and slightly wider.

+Prakash Lakhiani At £4000 here in England, it would be about 397,124 Rupee's in India!!!!!! Yoikes!

You have the LML scooter in India, which is definitely a man's scooter

The reason why is the demand for a 125 is much higher, in Europe anyone who's had a car license for 2 years and takes a CBT, gets their license upgraded to ride A1 bikes without L plates - terrible that the UK resists EU policy - the 125 market is bigger than all the other bike engine sizes combined

+monck55 The 300 is a different chassis, with smaller wheels, no where near as economical and the engine is an 'old school' 300. It's also a smaller bike that my dainty frame just doesn't fit on and the fit nd finish is no where near the quality of the Forza 125. In essence, the only thing the Forza 125 and the Forza 300 have in common is the name. Hopefully Honda will do what they've done to the 125 engine to the 300 (i.e.: a 4 valve head instead of 2 valve, lower friction gubbins and all the other stuff to make it really fuel efficient and more powerful), revise the chassis, bigger wheels, upgrade the quality, riding position, space, etc and essentially make a Forza 125 with a 250/300ish engine. I for one would be at the front of the queue to buy that one.
