Chasing a pesky buzz/rattle I had me speedo apart .

The idiot lights (SMD style LEDs) are hidden beneath the black plastic square. Though you can't see it in the photo the black square has transparent portions in the shape of the indications shown.

As always, thanks for posting the good information, Kat.

Are the LEDs soldered into the PCB (printed circuit board)?

While those conversions can help on a bike with a stiff clutch, I can't really see any benefit on an RX3 other that bragging factor. Also just like hydraulic brakes, if not fully bled, they can give false feel and operation plus linear actuators are more prone to seal damage.

Our cables are fine as long as the parts get cleaned & lubed including the end in the lever and the lever pivot itself.

Motovlogging is huge on YT . . . Is anyone doing one on a Cyclone I searched YT without success - perhaps I missed someone.

Took me a while to figure out YT is Youtube. Try RX3, Zongshen RX3, Honley, or M1nsk 300.

I just discovered two videos posted by Zongshen Motorcycles on YouTube.

Here's a video from Zongshen Peru. In the video you can see our beloved RX3, the Z-One, and the new Zongshen Spex 150.

Here is a video from Zongshen Motorcycles featuring the new Zongshen Spex.

not trying to dredge up the muck but I've read, with interest, all the posts made by Thillskier. While I found his initial questions valid I determined his OCD behavior over not getting the answers he wanted tiresome. . . My point of posting is this ... should there be a part failure on "my" Cyclone and for some reason CSC didn't have the item readily available what would stop me from attempting to order one from a Honley dealer in the UK ? In regards to shop rates . . It is what it is. Would the hourly rates be different at a 3rd party shop for a Honda repair - I think probably not. There are honest shops and then there are not. If you're a dedicated rider you already have your "go to" shop where you feel you're treated fairly. . . plus I get CSC's target customer. . . someone who isnt afraid to get grease under their nails in order to have air in their hair! - Sorry Joe but it rhymed !

You can source parts from wherever you like. Many forum users here order from taobao.com in China. But CSC ships fast and their prices are very reasonable on stock parts. The very few warranty issues I've heard of have been handled quickly with free shipping.

[SpudRider]

Indeed, CSC keeps a complete inventory of all parts for the RX3. Everyone at CSC is very polite, and their customer service is superb. Their warranty coverage is prompt, and not bested by anyone in the motorcycle industry.

Here's a link to the Canada Moto Guide article discussing the approval for sale of the CSC Cyclone RX3 in Canada.

I'll need to wait until the Canadian dollar recovers. $3495.00 USD is currently $4545.42 CAD, and the $65 documentation fee, $195.00 setup fee, shipping charge, Canadian import fee, sales taxes, etc will push the bike north of $5000.00. It's still a good value for a well-equipped new bike, but it's outside of what I can squeeze out.

Man, the trolls sure come out, don't they? I feel bad that Joe has to deal with so many jerks on internet forums. I was really disappointed to read the negative comments on the Canada Moto Guide site.
