New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

I am more interested in the thicker, front brake rotor, which has increased surface area for braking. This brake rotor is 5 mm thick, and has mounting holes to accommodate both the 5-bolt, cast aluminum hub, and the 6-bolt, spoked hub.

I have started a thread on aftermarket, front brake options at the following link.

Thanks for posting the link to the nice review.

I'm surprised nobody commented on the issue of the smaller-than-announced fuel tank capacity I observed a few pages earlier.

Btw, I just finished reading all 276 pages in this thread. Good job guys, lots of great info here

Hey Peperino, my tank seems way off to. I had the tank off and totally empty, after installing the tank I pushed the bike to the gas station, (couple of hundred feet), this was the first "real" fill up and I was surprised the tanks only took 13.3 liters. Of course during the fill the bike was on it side stand but then I stood it up right to see if there was much more room for fuel, no, not really much more and I'm sure not 3 litters, maybe 7/10ths to get to 14 but that would be full to the top.

I'm going to run it back down to nothing again and and see what I get. I can't imagine, like you, that the gas station is off by that much. And I'll use a different station.

Your right about all the great info in the thread, I've read the whole thing before and scroll through it several times a week.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed.

Yes, just like you, I'm very surprised that it is advertised everywhere as a 16L tank.

Please post a photograph of your fuel tank. Did you empty the tank fully, and then refill it?

Congratulations on reading the entire thread. I started this thread a little over 18 months ago, and I am amazed that it has been viewed more than quarter of a million times. I am currently reading the entire thread once again, and I am enjoying the experience.

Yes, great job and a lot of useful info.

Yes, as we have a carburetor here, I drained the entire tank via the drain screw on the carburator
Then proceeded to fill it up and it barely took 14L.

I don't have a picture at hand, but definitely will take one when I take it apart to fix the fuel indicator float, that is another thing that needs to be fixed on this bike.

Did you measure the fuel from a fuel pump, or did you measure it by hand with a calibrated container?

Fuel pump. I don't think a service station fuel pump can steal me 2L of fuel on the readings

I agree; I was just curious. The fuel pumps here must be inspected regularly to make sure the meters are accurate. I'm sure it's the same in Buenos Aires.

I would like to think the same

What puzzles me the most, is that it is advertised everywhere as a 16L tank, around the world all sites say 16L. But it's not true :(

Here's a pic of the tank float from another fellow Triax user.
The trick is to bend it so it doesn't show empty so quickly

That is the same tank float employed by the bikes with EFI.
