Thank you. Yes, it does suck. Well, at least I had almost 50 years of fun. The thing that's most upsetting now is seeing all the retro bikes coming out, styled like the bikes from the 70s I learned...

A similar thing happened to the gentleman that purchased my 2017 RX3. I never rode it much as it had only about 1200-1500 miles when sold, and within a few days after buying it he posted that during...

Keep an eye on the coolant level. It has a tendency to drop a little more than I would expect but it never got dangerously low. It improved over time, I guess I had to work out some air bubbles in...

I think he's talking about the doohickey on the left side, front of the engine that has a clear tube pointing toward the ground with a plug on the end. Yours won't have the plug, it fell out a long...

I appreciate that. If the bike had shown any signs of trouble I would've had it fixed before I sold it. I'm glad it will be cheap to fix.

Hmmm, that filter could have been defective from the beginning and I never pushed it hard enough to cause any problems. I just rode the bike to work and back, a total of 15 miles.

Well, it did sit idle for a while but I'd start it once in a while to let it warm up. I noticed if I let it sit up for a few weeks then start it the pump would make a light squawking sound but after...

Can you hear the fuel pump when you turn the key on?

Did you do any electrical work before the the problems started? Maybe there is a bad connection somewhere.

Wow! They tightened up quick. I had them set tappy and happy at .08mm. Yea, access sucks. I had a hell of a time trying to get my fat fingers + a feeler gauge in there.
