@katflap, larger cooling system is good, frankly I am not sure if and how rx3 would perform in Hot summer here where I live as our coldest winter has 16'C on average and in summer temperature hits 50~55'C easily..

My RX3 is few of the first RX3 which came to Pakistan, and they all came recently in winter so haevnt put them on test in boiling "summers" we have here , but a year ago XY400 (another Chinese 400cc Adventure bike) came here and it was total catastrophe in summer...

XY400 is equipped with a WIDE radiator (much larger then what we see as a pair in RX3) but it was over heating badly even on high way ..

and when it heats up heavily it will blow away its radiator cap and steam would start pour out of every where..

and then whole clan has to wait with our buddy untill it cools down to usable position, in last days of our tour he was so frustrated that he would sprinkle water from water bottle on engine to cool it down quickly..
