Same here. I wish they were all keyed the same, but it's not that big a deal.

Mine uses the same key for the ignition/seat/luggage, maybe they made a change?

Possibly just luck of the draw, i.e. The lock supplier providing the parts in only a certain number of patterns for each, so the key may or may not work every thing.

With my non-keyed-alike RX3, I received two rings with two keys each. 4 total, which I split in to two "sets" for the bike.

Ditto here, Jay.

I had given thought to seeing if it was possible to re-key the luggage locks, but just never got around to it. I labeled the key for the hard cases so I don't confuse them, so I haven't had any reason to look into rekeying the cases.

I agree; it's not a big deal. However, if Zongshen made a change with the newer bikes, that's a nice little improvement.

Yeah, the RX3 is no pursuit vehicle, but I could easily see it used for accident investigation or to get through traffic gridlock. It would also work for rural police and sheriffs or park rangers and the forest service.

I think the RX3-P would do a great job in New York City, and many smaller towns, as well.

The bike is obviously not a pursuit vehicle, but it is an economical motorcycle which can perform many other police duties, especially in an urban environment.

I'm responsible for at least 25,000 of those hits. This site is one of the great things about RX3 ownership. Thanks again Spud and Weld!

One of my concerns when I purchased my RX3 was whether bolts, fittings, etc would be prone to corrosion. I've only had the bike for five months but it is stored outside under a cover and has gone through a typical muggy mid-Atlantic summer.

So far not a speck of rust on any part of the bike.
