Thanks for the well thought answer. I did a lot of research between Xmax and Forza and went for the latter well conscious of the differences you mentioned. Height, colour, the Honda brand and the more comfortable asset for long haul trips made me opt for the Forza and I love it.
Two unexpected big surprises in positive: the rear view mirrors positioned where they are on the Forza allow you to switch between the road ahead and the mirrors without refocusing your eyes. A great idea and I am sure Yamaha will pick it up too.
The other unexpected surprise is the balancing. Can't feel the weight at all and in traffic it almost stands by utself even at low speed.
Two questions: the 8k for YSS is for a pair or for the front and back?
And... did you change your shock absorbers ?
Lastly, can both be adjusted front and back?

Thanks!

it should give you an idea as to what is available for the new model forza 300.

most accessory shops can help you to order what you need.

 

or pm me and i can give you the names of some good shops in Bangkok that can help you out with the stuff you need. most of them will do mail order as well.

The very first thing I will do when I get a 2018 Forza 300, is to immediately upgrade F/R with YSS shocks and improve the CVT variator to gain a little more initial acceleration. I, too, am of the mindset that I want any vehicle I own to perform at its top potential, mindful that in general, mfrs build their vehicles with compromises and sole emphasis to make profit.
Warranty be d@mn if, IMHO, the performance of any 'warranted' component in question needs to be improved to suit my taste. By buying top quality establish brands - like the Honda Forza 300 with its 279cc engine - the likelihood of a warranty issue occurring in its main components is very remote.
The 'lag' is inherent in the using a CVT that is belt driven. But the 'lag' (and speed) can be addressed somewhat by adj the weights and combinations of sliders and rollers or buying a high performance variator. The trick is attaining the just-right combo because gaining too much off-the-line acceleration can reduce your top speed rate.

Great minds... :)

Just go to weights a few grams lighter it is an easy install and the most efficient way to improve acceleration.  You may notice a bit more throttle response and it should not affect top end.  If you need any serious warranty work just swap the old ones in before taking it to the shop. 

 

Nice bike.

Must be the same as going on a diet (Joke)!
