Honda Forza 300 How-To Flush/Bleed Brakes (NSS300)
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- The 2015 Honda Forza has an integrated brake system, when you press the rear brake (left brake lever), it is braking on the both the rear and front (partially) brakes. This video goes through the brake flush/bleed process for this type of integrated brakes on this model Forza.
Items needed:
- DOT 4 brake fluid
- 8mm wrench
- Philips head screwdriver
- Brake cleaner (for spills)
- Paper towels
- Brake bleed bag (optional, but for easy disposal of old fluid)
This video goes into through the bleeding/flushing process, and shows the two bleed valves on the front brake caliper, and one on the rear brake caliper.
Although this model Forza has ABS brakes, the process for bleeding ABS vs non-ABS is the same.

ขอบคุณมากนะครับที่ทำให้ดู ผมมีปัญหาเรื่องนี้พอดี พรุ่งนี้จะลองแก้ไขด้วยตัวเองดูครับ
@TheFucfm - ด้วยความยินดีอย่างยิ่ง. ขอบคุณสำหรับการรับชมและแสดงความคิดเห็น!
Great video!!thanks!!
@Manolo Lete - Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
Great video & really well out together. I assume it is the same process for the Forza 350?
@leigh Spesa - Thanks for the comment and for watching. From what I've read the Forza 350 do not have linked brakes. You can check the brake caliper if it has that extra valve that goes to the rear, and if it does you will know they are linked. Hope this helps!
Great video just what I was looking for , also have you a video on flushing out old coolant on a forza 125 many thanks .
@worzel - Thanks for watching and for the question. I don't have a coolant change/flush video out yet, but it is on the list to make. It will be on on the Forza 300 that I have, hopefully similar to the 125. Thanks again!
these vids are great. gotta wonder how hard to bleed air if you just drain them complete.
@Brian Richard - I would assume easier, but draining has always taken a long long time for me. Also be sure to keep the fluid in the reservoir during the draining process. Thanks!
Seems like you could use a power brake bleeder, put a vacuum on the bleeder value and fill the reservoir with brake fluid.
@CACTUS48 - Yes, for sure. But I’m old school (to some degree). I tried a pump vacuum once but it didn’t work well. Perhaps a motorized version might be in the cards some day. I also used speed bleeders which does the trick as well.
you can add check valve to quick change
@EmreCanOZKOK - Yes, for sure! 👍
@EmreCanOZKOK - Yes, for sure! 👍
Do you have to remove the exhaust to get to the rear brake bleeder?
NIGHTBOAT - you know, great question! I looked at it and didn’t see a way to get to the bleeder screw with the exhaust installed. You only need to remove the exhaust muffler, not the exhaust pipe to the engine. I have another video on replacing the exhaust system that shows how to remove the exhaust. 4 bolts and loosen the clamp connecting the muffler to the pipe.
Thanks for the video. Theres a tool for 30$ that makes this process a breeze. Any chance you know how to adjust valves? Cant find any info online. Thanks
@KhumoyunTurgunov - I haven't done valves yet, might be a good video to do soon. I'll check the shop manual and try to post something soon. Cheers!
@KhumoyunTurgunov - Here is a video I just posted on a valve check and adjustment for the Honda Forza: czcams.com/video/NzOnDZgLIAE/video.html
Thanks for great video. One question. My mechanic changed my front pads on a new forza.
Ever since the change. When I free wheel down a hill. Apply the front brake.. I can hear hissing noise. What would this be could it be air... Or the diaphragm leaking on the caliper? 🙏
@stephen mc cann - Thanks for the comment and question. Without seeing or hearing it myself, and based on your description, I don't think it's a leak issue because you would see brake fluid in and around the leak (and on the ground when parked). I would tend to think its the new pads forming around the brake disc. From my experience the brake disc begins to form small grooves over time (could be very small and difficult to see). When you put new pads on they need to form to the disc which will take a little time (a break-in period so to speak). I could be wrong here. If you have anyway to take a video or audio recording that would be very helpful to troubleshoot the noise.
@@zooskifilms Hi I will try and make video. My mechanic has said it is normal after brake pad change. Mind you there only 1000km on this bike. I swaped out orignial pads for nextser.. Both front and back.
The noise is not in back only front.
When you pull front brake lever you can hear it. Sorry it comming from resorvoir brake lever area.. You have to be in a very quiet environment to hear it.
But what baffles me. It was not therr with old brake pads at 20km on bike.. Nor was it at 1000km.
Only since I put on after market pads.
Thank you for reply.

@@alwaysonthemove1510 - Based on your comment, the only thing that has changed was the brake ads, so it seems to be related to that. If you still have the old pads you could put them back on and see if the noise is still there. Not sure it would be worth doing this, you may find that once the new brake pads have been broken in the noise will go away. Anyway, good luck on sorting this out.
Have you used any aftermarket pads you like a lot? Like EBC? Any specific model?
@jemo951 - I haven't changed the brake pads yet. Would be happy to test out the EBC pads though, look for that video in the summer sometime!
@@zooskifilms I went ahead and bought some EBC pads. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I have a Forza 350 and like to do my own maintenance. Honda UK will not sell me a workshop manual! Are they available in the States and if so, where please?
@Peter C - I looked around for the 350 service manual and could not find anything. Seems not publicly released, The one I bought for the NSS300 I found on www.service-shop-repair-manual.com/ . But I didn't see the one for the 350 there. Hope you're able to find it somewhere!
@@zooskifilms Thanks for trying 🙂
I have the same issue but in Thailand. The dealership mechanics here don't have a clue on how to properly maintenance the bike. They didn't even know that the bike can display service intervals, let alone how to reset it after oil or maintenance till I showed them.
Thanks to youtube I'm learning but a service manual in English would be amazing to have. I can't find it anywhere online.
To get an owners manual in English I had to contact Honda UK. If they do get the service manual here there is no chance it will be in English 😔
@@ryanguy2570 - Thanks for the comment. Which year Forza do you have? I found the 2014-2015 manual is still available, but seems the new year models are not. In fact the 2014-2015 is available as a PDF download as well. Cheers!
@@zooskifilms I am in the same boat as @Peter C I've got the 2020 Forza 350.
Can I have the link to the PDF version you found for the older model? Would be interesting to look at.
