Very nice replacement! My husband was just asking me about the RX3 and if the engine went dead on that some day. I looked at him and said, there is always a Honda or Yamaha motor that can take its place!

It's not inexpensive, but CSC sells complete RX3 engines.

Did you tell him about the 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty?

You are not crazy, Ron. You are merely beginning to recognize that resistance is futile.

Ryan just emailed me back 4524.95 delivered to my door with a six pack of oil filters. That's Freight prep paperwork and all...... my wallet is starting to Twitch in my pocket :-)

This year with more people riding lets add to this Mileage Milestones post so we can see what these bikes are really good for. Gives us usable ammo for using on the naysayers. Thanks LeeR for starting the post now lets use it

Yes, please post mileage and any issues so we can show how good the bikes are. Once a bunch of us cross 20k miles I think the naysayers will start to doubt their doubts.

I plan on putting at least 10k on mine this season.

Just checking in, I haven't been here for a while.

Glad to see that the enthusiasm for the RX3 is still strong.

Mine is over a year old now, used every day, rain or shine and still going well with no problems.

Added a radiator cap with a thermometer a while back. Its quite accurate though it does take a while to show true system coolant temp. if it were possible, i think it would work quicker on the other radiator.

It is possible to see whilst riding, got to lean forward a bit

Thanks for checking in, Kat.

We have missed your insightful posts. I hope you won't disappear for another extended hiatus.

I tend to keep the odometer on the trip thingy, for fuel fill ups.

That's great.

Don't be such a stranger.

I eagerly await further updates on your PCHUD discoveries.
