Mines at 7000 miles now and the suspension as smoothed out a good bit, I to have the bars forward, suspension and engine get smoother the faster you go

I'm at 6000k now and would agree that the suspension is much better. I've never really thought it was too bad though, as you say, the faster you go the smoother it becomes.Ralph wrote: Thu Oct 25, 2018 9:08 am Mines at 7000 miles now and the suspension as smoothed out a good bit, I to have the bars forward, suspension and engine get smoother the faster you go
Also my fuel economy is much better with a few thousand miles on it now.

Re: Ride quality/handling XMax/Forza 300s
why is it everybody is going to these LED headlights... there shit ..give me a proper headlight that actually lights up the whole road ...also interested how the new forza 300 is in the real world ...i really like my X-ADV it really ticks alot of what i want from a bike/scoot., but those headlights are terrible ... little white stripe across the road, then high beam about an inch higher .WTF honda , i'm guessing looks over practicality...
Good friends don't let you do stupids thing alone .

Re: Ride quality/handling XMax/Forza 300s
i'm not fan of key less ether. lol always had a key an knew where it was... now in two different pockets fob / locks. BUT i did get two fob's with my xadv ?.bustupbiker wrote: Fri Oct 05, 2018 9:35 pm ***but I'm still not a keyless fob fan (despite it being all the rage)****
Same here, i much prefer to have a key to stick in a hole, you get two of those as well.. Only one with the X-ADV i am told, ( not by the dealer )
the Forza has two fobs.. Going to look and sit in the morning.. Ow! and i think may as well pay while with them.

I like the keyless but that may change if it plays silly buggers can’t make my mind up on the led headlights they are bloody bright but don’t seem to throw a beam yet I can ride quite fast with them on unlit roads

No problem with keyless at all. Key in pocket, start, ride away, open fuel cap, open seat, lock bike, all without bothering with the key and also no chance of leaving the key in the ignition.

I stopped the scoot on the prop stand and forgot to turn it off it was a good hour before I went back but it started no problem so they must have a decent battery.
Always a good test to see if it likes you or not.

But could 'anyone' have started it while you were away, simply by raising the sidestand?Ralph wrote: Fri Oct 26, 2018 9:53 pm I stopped the scoot on the prop stand and forgot to turn it off it was a good hour before I went back but it started no problem so they must have a decent battery.

Don,t think so it does bleep at you as you walk away if things are not as they should be I will have to test to be sure.
