Indeed, the maintenance for the Yamaha TW200, and my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 which employs the same engine, is very minimal. My Zong requires the least maintenance of any of my four motorcycles.

I employ AGM batteries, O-ring drive chains, and LED lights on my bikes. However, changing the oil on my Zong is the simplest procedure for all of my motorcycles, and one never needs to check the coolant or watch the temperature on an air cooled engine. Having said all this, the maintenance required for the Zongshen RX3 will also be pretty simple.
