Welcome. I recognize the ZS177MM engine in your XZ250RM.

If you reduce the size of your photos by 35%, and post them again, it will fix the problem.

Luggage is offered as an option. looks neat with that red saddle tho
That's a nice looking RX3. Thanks for sharing the photos from Columbia. I like the heavy-duty skid plate.

I'm getting cabin fever. It has been raining for a about a week here. I did manage to make two modifications to the RX3 between rain showers. I will post photographs of the modifications after the rain departs sometime around next Wednesday.

I did purchase an ACR ResQLink PLB, and I'm glad I got it before the riding season really begins. If you purchase from a participating dealer before July 1, you can get $50 rebate from ACR.

Purchasing question??

Living in Ny I would need to have it shipped. I was wondering how much it was after paying taxes on it out the door?? I plan on paying to have them assemble it there to which I believe I saw was $195. Looks like everyone is really enjoying there bike. Is there anything that you guys wish was diffrent or any flaws?? I just sold my Klx 250 and just love the look of this bike. Thanks

Hey, for those who have added Handguards, what are you finding for inner diameter of the handlebars? I remember spud mentioning 12mm. I'm trying to decide if I'm taking advantage of the revzilla sale on Barkbusters. I know hand guards can be had for less, but those seem to go on with the least fuss. They have a 12mm bar end insert- it seems the standard inserts are just a hair too big to fit.

You should call for a shipping estimate. Taxes will be paid to your state dept of revenue based on the invoice price of the bike. Not sure what the applied tax rate is.

I didn't use my digital calipers to measure the hole in the handlebar ends. I used my plastic calipers from Harbor Freight, so my measurement was not precise. However, if you need to enlarge the hole slightly, it shouldn't be too hard to ream the aluminum with a slightly larger drill bit.

X2 on everything Sprite said. If you have an assembled bike shipped to you, expect to pay more for the custom, wooden, shipping crate. CSC needs to pay for the wood and assemble the crate, which is also larger than the steel crate used to ship the unassembled bikes.

I love the engine, transmission, and EFI of the RX3. I also love all the standard features, et cetera. However, I wish the suspension were better. The bike has somewhat limited travel for the forks and shock absorber. Also, in my opinion, both the forks and the shock absorber need stiffer springs.

That's what I did to fit my Zetas. Easy Peasy.

I have a Pro Taper Contour ATV Mid handlebar on the way. I'm going to make those HDB handguards fit yet.

I just ordered a new one. The battery is still ok on the old one, and it will be going to my brother.
