I have mine for a couple of months, I use it for commute and a few short journeys, haven't done any long trips yet. And it's a great machine. Can't recommend it enough. My fuel lid is giving issue as well, it was interesting to see someone else with the same problem. But apart from that, it's a 10/10 for what I was looking for.
The Fuel flaps a pain in the arse. Same issue on mine. I did file off part of the locking mech seems to off made it a lot better. My exhaust and stands are being attacked by rust as well.
very easy to fix the fuel issue, with the lid open just hold it and push it forward towards the front end of the bike (do not pull it up push with a decent amount of force forward) that fixed mine opens like a charm now.
It's coming for any exhaust, side stand and main stand to take a bit of a beating on rust, considering there low to the ground. The 4000 miles service price that you have mentioned is a normal service. That said they should have done a valve clearance at that second service ,Honda did that with mine. I would suggest another garage if they didn't do that with your Forza. The next service with a Forza of your kind would be an 8000 MLS service. I am now on my second Forza . The recommended date on the filter is a while yet but I Usually change mines every year for all they cost around £20.00 for the original Forza one. I also changed the pads front and back after 4000 MLS just purely for piece of mind. I would recommend the honda Forza 125 to anyone they are a great bike for commuting around towns I can assure you they are more than capable of the highway/motorway speeds. They will reach a max speed of 80 Mph. Although I wouldn't recommend breaking the speed limits. I have used mine for a passenger and they are more than capable of doing this as well. Good to see your back on Channel again Take care man Ps Where you been
I disagree with the rust they skimped with a quality paint I've had loads of bikes over the years and none have began to rust within such a short period...everything else is fine...valve clearance at 4000 you sure seems a little low for that I had a comprehensive print out and was an official Honda garage Sutton Honda Bromsgrove.. I've been just working hard and doing more stereo stuff lately..
@@BigBoyzToyz1974 according to honda yes 4000 valve clearance Sutton honda motors I bought a Forza from them before they told me the same maybe some mechanics have different views. There's a few flaws in the Forza it prob going to better with a stainless steel exhaust there wind shield tends to rattle a bit if you know a fix for that let me know ? The engine cover underneath has sponge which observes the water and causes moldy parts underneath the main stand should have a drain slot for water as it's underneath the bike you often shave to take the pin out and re- grease the stand overall it's a great bike just honda need to introduce few things on Thier 24 model would you agree ?
@steviej1022 yes you hit the nail on the head I also noticed the sponge that causes the Alloy to motel.. The filler cap needs addressing too bad design.. I'm going to also get a stainless exhaust but I want it to stay quiet.dont.like noisy exhausts on low power vehicles.. but overall very good scooter..👍
Hi there i have a honda 125 2021 in red , same thing for me with the fuel cap problem , rust aswell but i maintain every 2 weeks with wd40 especially at the springs , center stand i took it off and i add greased inside because it was rusty , i have a question do you know from where i can order a side panel ? i had a incident and i need to replace it
Side panels first place I would search is eBay I bought a salvaged handle bar cover and it was mint condition. If not it would be Fowler's or Honda direct.. I've used ACF50 on mine and it still rusting..🙄
Hi Watched your update after 4000 miles. Does your automatic start stop work all the time ???. mine never worked until it was serviced but have no idea what they did to solve it.ill ask next service. Cheers John L

I can’t help you on that but i’m also looking for a forza coming from a 2010 pcx. Are you happy with it ? pcx is so agile in the city, but i’m looking for more place and comfort. Thank you.

Got a 2016 with over 11k miles never missed a beat ridden threw winters awesome wee scoot
A rare scooter above the 125 category in my opinion in terms of performance in the city.
I've had mine a year at the end of this month, I've noticed some rust, but then again, this is the UK, rain, rain rain.

@@BigBoyzToyz1974 how are these points out forward to honda maybe it would make a difference?
72mph is still great for a 125.

Mine doesn't work if battery is under 11.5v before start up..even is it gets to 14.4v at idle but it's worked pretty much all the time before..

My Forza is 16 months old and 3400 miles. Like your one both centre stand and side stand a bit rusty already. Otherwise good bike
Yes I think it gets better with age mine is a lot smoother to ride than when I first had it...
try to maintain with wd 40 you going to see a big difference , and for spring use a toothbrush and wd40

First thing is make sure you have 29psi in front tyre 33psi in rear try that first as a slight decrease in tyre pressure makes a big difference.
ok pal i will try that thanks for your reply @@BigBoyzToyz1974
I can’t help you on that but i’m also looking for a forza coming from a 2010 pcx. Are you happy with it ? pcx is so agile in the city, but i’m looking for more place and comfort. Thank you.
