New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

By "revised center stand" you mean this?



When I got my bike back in July, I think I got the then 2nd edition of the center stand, which is the same as the photo above. Have they changed it again? If so, why?

Cheers,

I think CSC changed the design from your center stand. I haven't seen a photograph of the new center stand; it hasn't yet reached our shores. I was told the revised center stand is being fabricated in China.

It is my understanding that the new centerstand has a arm to help get the bike on the stand. Here is a random photo of that type:

Yes, I was told the revised center stand has an arm/extension which facilitates lofting the motorcycle.

OK, Looks like a usability improvement not a fault correction.

Getting the bike up on the center stand would be more convenient with the added arm.

Cheers,

A potential resource for trouble shooting the RX3 engine management system.

This service manual I have is for the Hyosung & Kasinski Comet 250, Mirage 250.

Both bikes use the Delphi MT05 ECU but I have yet to determine whether they use the same sensors or fuel injector etc. So it is possible that the values and data stated in the manual are incorrect for the RX3. That said, I still think this manual could be quite useful as a guide.

Here is my cut down version of the manual that has just the engine management trouble shooting portion.

Thanks for sharing the good document, Kat.

The oxygen sensor and purge control valve are the same for the RX3. I will be examining this document more thoroughly in the weeks to come.

I have posted a Delphi EFI System: Troubleshooting and Maintenance Tutorial at the following link.

I like that the system has the diagnostic flashy light sequence aspect, but,,,,,,,,, did they HAVE to make it 4 digit?

I'm kind of A.D.D. (they hadn't invented it yet when I was a kid) so counting the flashes would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, *that screw looks a bit loose* 14,,,,, wait, no. <cycle key> 1, 2, 3, *coffee went cold*, 4, 5, 6, <pick up dropped cigarette> 3, 4. Dammidal.

Yeah, some of us will just have to buy the Majik Box of Digitals.

[SpudRider]

There is another solution, Jay. You can have either a spouse, child, or neighbor count the flashes.

OK, I admit that I'm a wimp. It was 41 degrees outside where I live, and with 3 layers under my jacket, And 2 layers under my riding pants, I still managed to get a out 3 miles down the road before I grew in the towel and turned back for home. RX3 has no problem in the cold, and the windscreen helps deflect cold air, but I'm going to need heated grips and a heated vest (and hand guards)! It usually doesn't get this cold here...

Happy New Year, fellow Zongites. I hope everyone has a blessed and prosperous new year.

Oh Spudliness, How in the frap did you get the top bolt out when changing your shock out? I'm in in the garage and that top bolt is keeping me from having a New Years resolution being fulfilled ecstasy . The air cleaner boot is a bit hard from the cold weather and in the way of a dream coming true. I see why you mentioned somewhere about turning that bolt around. What where they thinking? Probably the same guy who assembed this won the bet in the lunch room for seeing who could cram the mostest in the leastest
Happy New Year, safe riding and Everyone have a superb zong in their song this year, rj

I took a punch and I pounded the bolt out from the right side. Don't worry; you won't hurt the air cleaner manifold. It is very robust. When you install the Progressive shock absorber, install the top bolt on the right side. I also recommend putting the washer on the right side.

You will have more room to work if you lift the vapor canister, purge valve, and move it out of the way.
