On my previous bikes, with spools, never had close calls with tip overs and slip offs.
But thanks for the information.

My T-Rex swingarm stand is very strong, and very stable. I use it for 5 motorcycles, including my RX3, and I don't have any problems with any of the bikes trying to slip off the stand.

Not a huge deal, but y'all might want to check yours!

I'm surprised that cover has three attachment holes at the bottom, but none at the top. To remove the cover I assume you must grab it, bend it down, and pull it off.

It might not be a bad idea to drill a hole in the top of the cover and the fender, and attach the top of the cover to the fender with a black zip tie.

It's interesting on other forums (all other forums, not just RX-3 Cyclone forums) as there's usually a few strong egos. I have learned to just lurk and read those forums. But the great exchange of info here (and honestly, the support from the "in the know" RX-3 riders that know how good the product is) really adds to the ownership experience.

Many thanks to Spudrider and Weldandgrind as the moderators here for making this forum welcoming, informative and lively!

Thank you for your kind words, RT. We work hard to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere at these forums. Fortunately, we mostly attract friendly, helpful people to these forums, such as yourself.

Info from a Chinese forum -

front and rear wheel bearings are 6302-2RS

15mm inside diameter
42mm outside diameter
13mm width
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice picture from a Russian forum showing some engine parts. Seeing a portion of the Auto Decompressor interested me

Thanks for posting the bearing information, Kat.

The auto decompression unit for the NC250 engine is very similar in design to the auto decompression unit in the engine of my Honda CRF250X.

Not a bad idea...I'm not even sure how the housing is supposed to be attached, as there are no threads anywhere to be seen in any of the three holes. Surprisingly, I have not yet got an email back from anyone at CSC. I was going to call them today, but I went for a ride instead

You came to the right place, Keith. You have the China Riders spirit.

Joe,

Is CSC planning to attend any of the Progressive Motorcycle Shows?

A fellow on another forum has asked if CSC will be attending the show in Phoenix, coming next February.

[SpudRider]

The CSC Blog reports a fellow rode his Zongshen RX3 a distance of 30,000 kilometers from China, to England. He will complete his ride in Barcelona, Spain, after traveling a distance of 20,000 miles.

The CSC Blog also reports a special introductory offer for Canadian buyers of the RX3. Check out the details at the following link.

Spud,

I have seen some of your post over at TW200 as well.
I thank you for all you are doing for the sport I love non bias riders
I also joined the other RX3 forums as I see many people here have as well.

We're working our way through that now. As always, it's a balancing act. We compare what it will cost to how many motorcycles we will sell as a result. We'll probably be there, but we haven't confirmed it yet.

I'm sorry this happened (the lack of response to your email). The guys are usually pretty good about getting back to people. Please call us (909 445 0900) or shoot us another email and we'll respond. I'm not sure what you're asking because I haven't found the original post. We'll get you an answer.
