Honda NSS300 NSS300A Forza 2014-2016 Service Manual

Autoevolution's own confirmed launch-year account frames the Forza's genuine dual-purpose ambition directly: "packing the nerve of a small-displacement motorcycle and the maneuverability and non-intimidating factor scooters are known for, the 2013 Honda NSS300 Forza is a high-performance machine which is suitable for both daily city slicing through slow traffic and for weekend getaways. Sporting excellent weather protection and plenty of real estate for two, this machine also comes with an impressive range north of 200 miles." Wikipedia's own confirmed history places this exact model within the platform's genuine lineage: succeeding the smaller NSS250 (sold as the Reflex in North America), continuing under the NSS300 designation from 2013 through 2021 "with ABS, receiving minor updates each year."

Power comes from a 279.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine, SOHC, fed by fuel injection, delivering a claimed 24.5-25.48 hp at 7,500 rpm and roughly 19.2 lb-ft (26 Nm) of torque at 5,000 rpm through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) — a genuine step up in displacement from the earlier NSS250 platform, with output figures staying identical across 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 per 1000PS's confirmed year-by-year data.

Autoevolution's own confirmed feature account details the practical, everyday-usable equipment built into this platform: an integral under-seat storage compartment "big enough for two helmets" and a power outlet for charging electronic accessories on the go. Braking uses a single 256mm front disc with a twin-piston caliper backed by Honda's Combined Braking System (CBS) — "third front brake piston is activated upon application of rear brake" — paired with a single rear disc, riding on 120/70-14 front and 140/70-13 rear tires with a telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks.

JD Power's own confirmed 2014 and 2016 spec sheets list a 60.9-inch wheelbase, 28.2-inch seat height, and 3-gallon fuel tank, with the "A" suffix in the model code (NSS300A) denoting the ABS-equipped variant. This platform ran with only detail refinements through 2021, before Honda's substantially larger 330cc engine replaced this exact 279cc unit.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2014-2016 NSS300/NSS300A Forza running the way it was built to.
