New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport - Page 186

Welcome and congrats on the new RX3 Dan. You'll enjoy the Cyclone as it is a great little bike. Be sure and check oil, coolant levels before riding. My coolant showed the normal 1/2 in the overflow tank but was way down in the radiator. Rode it that way for 300 miles before taking radiator cap off and checking. Checked it several times as it took a while to get coolant over into the second radiator and back around to fill it up to the cap neck. rj

Thanks for the tip. Wilco.

Congrats Dan! I hope it serves you well.

Congratulations on acquiring your new, blue RX3, Dan.

If you have time, please do post photos of your bike after it arrives.

Is the bike being delivered in the crate, or assembled?

I'm paying for assembly. They tell me I should be able to unstrap and ride it right off the pallet.

Will post pics after it arrives. Looks like I'll have to update my sig, line too.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Hi all, is there any way to solve this starting problem?

BTW, the box noise was fixed, thanks

Tight Valves? maybe....?

How many miles do you have on it?

rjmorel · 06-02-2015, 01:08 PM

make sure it has plenty of gas in tank. Don't ask

Turn up the idle a little bit. 1800/1900 RPM, . rj

Nope, I left the bike for second time in Zongshen dealer today. The first time, they told me they fixed, but it was exactly the same. This second time I don't know but my hopes are not so high. Tomorrow I will know...

I had to change a leaky fork seal on my Rx3 and didn't have a seal driver for the 37mm size so I went ahead and made one. If anyone needs to do their seals they are welcome to "barrow" it. I believe CSC has one also and may loan it out if someone needed it. I'm in Washington state . rj

Are there currently any forums/threads to help RX3 owners in specific US localities identify other local owners -- if they want to be identified? I belong to a forum for a different bike which has a "local" threads subsection. Not that it gets used a lot. But now that I am tooling around on my new fast orange RX3, I'd be interested if there are any other riders in the mid-Atlantic/Washington DC area who might be interested in meeting up/riding/exchanging help with maintenance etc.

I am not well versed in how these forums work.

I am unaware of any threads/forums to help RX3 owners in different localities to meet.

However, I encourage both of you to start threads on that topic here, in the RX3 forum at China Riders.

Somewhere on the internet there was a map of the world and you can go on it and make a map specifically for RX3 riders to "pin" their location any where in the world. FRAPPR was what it was called but I think it's extinct now.
There is this one but it costs per month depending on how many pins you want and options.
