SpudRider
2015 Zongshen RX3

5,000 miles on odometer recorded in July, 2015. Only normal maintenance was required.

rjmorel · 09-15-2015, 01:41 PM

RJ's 2015 RX3
5000 miles last month. Approx 6125 miles now. Nothing major. Adj valves once , changed oil 3X. Change tires to more dirt worthy style. Rode it to many enjoyable camping trips in the last 3 months .

Lee R · 09-15-2015, 01:52 PM

Awesome, added you guys to the list. Should be fun watching these bikes gather miles, which adv bikes do very well.

Glad so see they have been trouble free as well.

rjmorel · 09-16-2015, 03:14 AM

wow , I think Spudrider should get a prize for most miles I know of. The first to break 10,000 miles. Maybe some of the CSC bikes that have been on the Baja or western states trip rides may have more? Wonder how many Joe Berk is up to on his? rj

Huck369 · 09-22-2015, 02:53 PM

I think Spud said he rolled over 10,000 miles last week...

SpudRider · 09-22-2015, 03:30 PM

Yes, without realizing it, I recorded 10,000 miles on the odometer some time last week, before it started to rain.

Nice work Spud.

I feel that once we start seeing >20k miles on these bikes without issue the reputation for RX3 will be looking really good. This could be a cult bike if it's reasonable reliable. It's certainly the best deal in adventure bikes at the moment.

SpudRider · 09-23-2015, 10:44 AM

The NC250 engine is beautifully designed, and very well manufactured.

I'm sure it will be as reliable as the engine in my Zongshen ZS200GY-2. I have ridden that bike for 70,000 miles.

AZRider · 09-28-2015, 09:53 PM

I rolled over the 5,000 mile mark on my odometer today. I've had 3 warranty items that CSC promptly took care of - a warped front brake rotor, a faulty gear selector cable and a bad battery. All 3 replacement items were installed by me and are functioning well.

Lee R · 09-30-2015, 10:11 AM

AZ your on the list.

Looking good for reliablity so far. Mine is in shipping and arrives Monday. Hopefully I can squeeze a few thousand miles in before winter hits in northern NY.

Danimal · 09-30-2015, 08:19 PM

Lee...new RX3 owner here...1st in the Buckeye State

Mine shipped out on 9/29, and is heading to NE Ohio
Am curious what date yours actually shipped and you were given tracking?

Can't wait for mine. Gonna be fun exploring

Lee R · 11-02-2015, 07:39 PM

Anyone else break 5 or 10k miles this season?

I'm just coming up on 700 miles on mine but it's about to freeze here. Next season should see a good amount of miles as I'm taking the RX3 to Newfoundland with a pair of KLR owners as it's a better choice for the dirt that we'll ride than my Stelvio.

SpudRider · 11-02-2015, 09:32 PM

You can update me to 13,000 miles.

However, it will snow here on Wednesday, so I won't be racking up many more miles until next spring.
