    Loving your channel. Lucked out and recently came across a 2015 Forza 300 with less than 250 miles. Been watching your channel for tips, and oh boy - do you have some good tips.
    At about 4:00 minutes you mention plans to install a rack. Noticed your recent videos have glimpses of the rack. I'd like to find out more about the rack, and maybe the other rack options you considered.

      @OkieBobby - Thanks for watching and for the comments, they are appreciated! Glad to hear you're enjoying the Forza, hope you're able to post some videos yourself. Regarding the luggage rack, I really didn't find any good options in the US, mainly looked at ones from Givi, but those are intended to be used with a top case. In the end I purchased one in Thailand (where there are loads of options) and carried it back with me. I'll make a video reviewing the one I bought. In the mean time you can take a look at this site in Thailand that offers some rack options: bikerzbits.com/honda-forza-nss-250-300-rear-rack.html

    The aftermarket Givi windshield is AWESOME

      @Michael Landis - Thanks for the comment and recommendation. Someone commented to me that the taller Honda windshield creates too much air turbulence resulting in a very loud ride. I didn't notice it until they made the comment, and have to agree. Hope the Givi one handles that air stream better! Cheers!

    Hi, my 2016 Forza has a drain plug on the water pump cover to drain the coolant, the 2014 Forza service manual that I have shows a water pump cover drain bolt to remove to drain the coolant, wonder if they changed to the drain plug in 2015 or 2016. I just looked at Online parts Fiche, the Forza 2014-15-16 have the water pump cover drain plug, the 2014 service manual is incorrect...

    • @zooskifilms

      Where is the water pump drain plug exactly? I don't see it on my 2015 Forza. There is a seep hole underneath, that's all I see. Thanks!

    Hi, my 2016 Forza water pump cover gasket has a slow leak, going to change the cover gasket and change the coolant. Going to us GM DexCool. Now looking at other UA-cam videos, the radiator cap can be removed by reaching thru the front steering fork, now where is the cylinder head coolant bleed bolt, how do you get to it. Going to look at the service manuals, have 3 of them, Forza 2014, 2014-2016, and 2016, nothing like a bunch of service manuals...

    • @zooskifilms
      @zooskifilms  2 роки тому

      @CACTUS48 - Haha, yes, one can never have too many service manuals! Did you sort this out? That bleed screw should be accessible from the luggage box. Sorry for my delayed response, was out of country for three weeks and behind on comment responses. My Forza also had a very slow drip leak from water pump that I discovered about 9 months after purchasing it. Took it back to the dealer and they repaired it, but wouldn't tell me exactly what the issue was. I think they used the gunshot approach and replaced everything. Anyway, hope you sorted this out.

      @@zooskifilms Hi, thanks, guess you open up the bleed screw then finish filling up the radiator, ordered a new water pump gasket from Partzilla, they seem to be good, waiting on back-order....

    I have a 2016 Honda Forza,
    After the black wheel air value stem cap is removed there is has a red plastic insert on the valve stem, it has a center hole with a small diameter, the regular Schrader air chuck and air pressure gauge will not fit it.
    Does Honda have there own air chuck and air pressure gauge.
    What do you do…remove the red plastic insert…

    • @CACTUS48
      @CACTUS48 6 років тому +1

      The red insert is from the inside of the plastic value cap, I will
      push it back in, it was from the rear wheel, the front wheel was fine,
      look into the plastic value cap and you could see the red insert.

    • @zooskifilms
      @zooskifilms  3 роки тому

      Interesting, I don't see that insert on the valve stem on my 2015 Forza. The caps on mine are hallow.

    Do you have videos for Honda SH300i ? these bike look is really similiar .

    • @zooskifilms
      @zooskifilms  7 років тому +1

      No, I have a 2015 Honda Forza, I noticed some things were similar with the SH300i, but couldn't tell you exactly what all of those are.

    I'm about to buy a 2014 Forza with a little over 4,000 miles on it. Looks like new. If I google recalls for the Forza, I see three of them at: powersports.honda.com/Support/RecallInformation.aspx?forcedesktop=true&redirected=true. So what should I do? Test drove it today. Runs great. Should I take it to a Honda dealer after I get it, to see about the recalls?

    • @zooskifilms
      @zooskifilms  4 роки тому +1

      Sorry for the late response. Yes, typically recalls don't expire and are done at the manufacturer's cost so I would definitely take it in and at least check to see if that VIN had any of the recall work performed already.

    How about the size of the Forza, I've read that over 5-10, it might be cramped. Thanks...I use to live in Petoskey and winter in Michigan is too cold for me....looking for a Forza type in Thailand motorbike.

      @zooskifilms  7 років тому +1

      Bruce Nolan - I'm 6' 2" and it's a comfortable sitting position for me. At around 2 hours things get uncomfortable but I think would be same for most bikes. If you have a chance to test ride one that should answer the question. Good luck!

    • @brucenolan3062

      I not sure why but the Forza is calling me, can't get enough info and I can see myself doing my thing, cruz'in Northern Thailand

      @mlbabineaux - I do as well, that luggage rack is not large enough for a dry bag and tent gear. Just another grab point for straps! Cheers!
