[detours]

Here are some assembly tips, info and links I pulled together from the CSC site and various RX3 forums. I don't have my bike yet, but I thought I'd share with others.

The 'Extra Items' section contains some common sense checks on a new bike and a few issues as reported by some early adopters of the RX3.

Crate Weight (unassembled)

• 478 lbs (217 kg)

Crate Size

• 7.0 x 1.9 x 3.6 ft
• 83.5 x 22.2 x 43.3 in
• 2120 x 565 x 1100 mm

Initial Assembly Instructions

• CSC RX3 Assembly Instructions
• CSC RX3 Leftover Parts List

Extra Items to Check

• Check crankcase vent plug has been removed (not applicable to US spec RX3)
• Check torque on all bolts:

• brake rotors

• brake calipers

• engine sprocket nut

• shifter pedal bolt play

• replace air filter panel screw with bolt to aid removal when luggage is installed (looking for a better pic)

• Check drive chain slack
• Check wheel alignment
• Exhaust checks:

• tighten header to engine bolts

• header to rear brake line clearance

• header to evaporation system tube clearance (below battery behind main frame)

• muffler mounting bolts

• check for weak spot weld on heat shield (if it rattles)

• Adjust throttle cable
• Check oil level before starting (US-spec bikes are about 100cc low from factory):

• replace oil with 1.5 qt new oil

• oil change tutorial

• Adjust clutch to fix hard neutral (ensure correct oil level first)
• Check electrical insulator on headlamp power
• Check and adjust headlight angle
