adjusted the clutch a little ,nuetral easier to find now, the stock tread is about perfect for me as i only usually ride pavement and gravel state forest roads,so i need to find something like them,,the more i ride it the more i like this bike!!!tried to get some photos and the batteries were dead in cam, dang it.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it a little annoying that the side stand doesn't stay down on its own? Maybe I'm too used to my BMW but that does have an idiot switch.

Can anyone with an RX3 confirm if there is a hole in the triple tree suitable for a triple lift like this one?

If it has a pin hole, size is the next question, if anyone knows how to measure it.

Don't have calipers handy but a quick check with measuring tape puts it at about 15mm.

Does this look right to you? I suspect not. I'm sure the CSC guys would have sorted out any issues like this before shipping theirs but this RX3 came straight from the Zongshen factory.

I left my bike at my office today because it started raining/sleeting...I'll look tomorrow, and let you know, but that doesn't look familiar to me.

Your side stand is different from the one we received in the United States. My side stand employs one spring, and it doesn't have the crescent-shaped piece of metal. Also, the mounting pins for the spring are in different locations. I think forum member Katflap, in England, has a side stand similar to yours, and he modified it to make it work. If you search this thread for his post, you can find his solution. I don't have any problems with the side stand on my RX3 which was delivered to the United States.

Belamoto,

Here is a link to the post by Katflap which describes how he altered his side stand to make to work better.
