Congrats sister! I will have to get my camera charged for this big event. I cannot wait! And it could not have come at a better time. My HD needs new lifters, rods and chain tensioners. So the RX3 will get tons of love this summer. I am super stoked! Can't wait to see pics of your bike. I bought the orange one.

You guys can probably see why my MPG average is 53, I'm pretty sure the throttle has two settings, on/off.
Thanks for posting the nice video, Lee.

Your muffler sounds just like mine. However, I think you got a 'binary throttle,' which is either fully on, or fully off.



As much fun as you have twisting the throttle, I think you get pretty good gas mileage.

I have not seen any other mention so I'll bring up the fact that the latest RX3 centerstand cannot be deployed/retracted unless the side stand is also deployed. It's not a big deal, just unexpected.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for mentioning it. I had them throw my center stand in the box, therefore I will be installing it when I get the bike tomorrow. When you do finally have the center stand deployed, can your retract back the side stand? Or will they always be deployed together.

Thanks in advance for the info!

I prefer to deploy the side stand before the center stand, so I haven't tried to do it otherwise. However, I always retract the side stand before I retract the center stand; I don't have any problems whatsoever doing this.

Thank you brother! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. I'm going to get my tool box ready for tomorrow's delivery. I hope it comes in the morning. That way I can get a plate on that baby by mid-day and ride it around for a bit.
