New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[SpudRider]

I'm glad to learn all is well in Walla Walla. The Hell's Canyon ADV Gathering sounds like fun. My problem is there are so many fun rides, and so little time.

I suggest you call CSC to learn if your bike would arrive with the first shipment. The contact number is posted at the CSC website.

I agree and this is likely the case for all fuel injected vehicals. I'm sure Zongshen is aware of the precived quality of Chines motor vehicals around the world and is choosing to error on the overly safe side with the fuel gauge reading. Also in reality most of us won't run the tank near empty very often but you will have the capacity when you need it.

I think the operation of the Zong's fuel gauge is a nice feature, rather than a deficit. When the fuel gauge reads empty, you are operating on the reserve capacity of one gallon, and you have been alerted to fill the gas tank as soon as possible.

I like this way of doing things. I will carry extra anyway, but, it's good to get off the bike once in a while.

Hey Joe. In the blog yesterday, you were explaining the operation of the accessory switch. It sounds like only one accessory will be powered at a time. Or, by switching to A2, both A1 and A2 are powered. Thanks for the clarification.

[3banger]

Also are these switching a relay?

[CSCDude]

No relay, and A1 and A2 are independent. You can wire it differently, but the way it will come from the factory is the way I described it.

A few of us RX-3 early buyers have discussed getting a group to ride back across the USA to home (Alabama for me) and Wolftrax and another rider, to Georgia. As soon as I confirm my delivery, I will post up the route and contact info for any interested in riding with us. There would be strength in #'s in a group from a knowledge/repair scenario of needed, as well as experience in some of the towns and routes we will be returning on. I am planning it on 2 lane type non interstate type roads aming at a 60-70 mph pace, with a stop every 2 hours or so for a stretch , fuel, snacks etc for 10-15 minutes or so. Aiming to allow a week, but possibly less if we don't have any repair issues that crop up.
ANyone interested, speak up, and we can start a new thread for the ride home RX-3!

Hey thillskier, I'm in. I've ridden cross country a half dozen times or so. I'm thinking 65mph on two lanes will be just about perfect. That time of year I think staying south and running Ca, Az, southern NM tot Texas is the to go. It still isn't quite spring yet north of I20. I'm a camper with an occasional motel thrown in every 3rd or 4th day. This is going to be good.

If it were going to be in a warmer month, I might be interested in the fly and ride back....but not in Feb or early March

The blue is clearly the fastest bike!

[SpudRider]

The camouflage bike is definitely the stealthiest.

I have a deposited on a orange one and am wondering from the pics if it is a more yellow based on the pics on 1st page or more orange yellow?? Sun faded KTM???? Computer screens don't always show the true colors. I like bright yellow colors for caggers to see. I realize color is subjective to each individual's eyeballs and what looks yellow to me may not to others. In the end once bike is uncrated a rattle can will fix most anything I suppose. rj
