You were lucky , I can imagine the damage can a 80kph accident can cause, even if one side is stationary....! I got the bike when it has 750km, almost new..., that blue light on dash LCD is gone, clutch was basically useless after 7k km, replaced with carbon aftermarket, the rear brake pad I think sticking - most Forza have this issue, design flaw probably, need new pads every few thousand km..., just last month both low beam headlight went, while high beam still working ...!!! Ok, these are all small issues, I think a Chinese bike would probably had more major problems..., but I don't like claims that Honda is so and so, every vehicle have issues, some less, since more...., only God is bulletproof...! ????

I did that 5 years ago, he asked for 25b, I was so excited to have my battery back, I gave him 50b... !!! ????, that battery worked for 2 more years I think, until I sold the bike ...

I was going to say, but I see you done it yourself, they just grabbed mine (I have same 2016 Forza) with a towel and twisted it by hand, pushing it up a bit..., you can also order those spanners from Lazada, not expensive... When I got my Forza first (used) , a few years ago, I was doing a bit of kamikaze riding around corners, to see it's limits and excitement of a new bike etc. (!) , scraped the center stand a few times, and generally noticed the heavy back end was very bouncy and unstable around corners. So I change the preload to max , shortest setting, it helped a bit. I understand with heavy luggage or a passenger this setting is also useful.... Don't worry about it effecting center of gravity etc. , generally it's just a small change... One of my back shocks started leaking few years ago, so changed both with the same used ones, going okay so far. Then of course the front forks leaked last year, repaired those too, and a lot of other issues, nowadays it consumes oil, bad news...! , when people say, Honda bulletproof, I laugh out loud ... ???? !

I think growing pot in Thailand is legal now... ! (over 21 ?) , tourists wouldn't have problem taking it to hotel, may have issue taking it back home - depending where he lives... ????

I don't think we will have so many licenced pilots to fly these things, so the future of these flying objects will be autopilots only, sit and pray you get there safely...! ???? If this thing comes as scooter with underseat space, I might consider it for a supermarket run ....????

So that's why they steal so many CBR1000... ????????

There are a lot of NMax about, even all police bikes in Phuket are NMax, no problem with parts and service, you just need to try it and see what you like ... Aerox is also a great bike, has bigger wheels, but for carrying passenger and longer legs NMax maybe better... As for Honda, dealers in Phuket have a cartel, you find out more about this later ...!
