Brothers I saw this GASGAS and I loved this package with RX3 enigne and such a light weigh bike... pure enduro package..:clap:
I wonder if this bike is in production or not.. the engine is NC250 as of RX3 but with a kick starter which is even better http://www.gasgasmotos.es/image/moto...mi_250_002.jpg |
I can't find it on their website. Only a 2 stroke 250 today. Looking at their manuals it seems the CAMI 250 was a 2014 model with the NC250 engine.

Today was an offroad day...
So RX took part in it along DRs and Honda Ba'ja and derbi offroad machines..
AND I LOVED IT.... I now have a concurent side to side experience of how different an adventure bike can be from a dedicated daul sports or an offroad bike.. I am glad that the results are way better then what I expected.. https://scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net...7f&oe=5909EE77 |

- RX shared same power response as its Japanese counter parts = 10/10
- RX was easy to maneuver even with bulge of instruments and non moving nose = 10/10 - Feul economy was good, and I had an edge of larger tank means I can play for longer time :lmao: - Cig lighter and charger is built in so I was able to feed some energy to dying cell and cam. The down sides# - LOW ground clearance its hardly 8' and decrease even further on weight - The Stock tires # they tend to kill you even on road. (is any one else also annoyed by there "no grip at all" ??? ) - Rear brake Locking # the rear Disc is to much sensitive, it tends to lock the wheel by slightest push... I recovered it from skiding like couple of time when used the rear brake.. I dont know how can I soft its response.. I know I am comparing oranges with apples.. but I wanted this to be done so I knw the RX3 bench marks.. |
That looks AWESOME! Glad to see the RX3 pulled its weight!
I've had no problems with the stock tires. On my roads here, they grip very well. I don't do what you've done there though. The most off-road I get with the RX3 is gravel roads. |
The tires skid on road as well special when wet, and if rear brake is applied...
the rear wheel locks immediately and the wheel loses traction completely... which is not very good... will need tires with good hold.. at least on asphalt.. Quote:

ever since Yamaha run out of carbed WR250 motors to surply to GasGas... they don't import the road legal version here... "not that I have seen" we get the 6 day enduro version... .. |

Fitted my ride with panniers, trunk and crash guards today...
planning to go North as my rides evil sister just returned from Snow tour.. so its my turn :D |
Vicky...with the pics you have posted it seems like you could use some more aggressive tires. Any plans to change? Looks like some hard core stuff your into :tup:
|
YES YES... I am already noticing tires dont keep up good in wet condition or offroad...
Problem is we here in Pakistan have very few choices.. I will have to see how can I source a good pair.. Quote:

So finally I came back after a 3 week long trip from North Pakistan and I have a lot to share about my experience with RX3.
I did switched to 13T front sprocket becuase I knew I would face heavy climbs (really freaking steep climbs) of Himalaya with no roads at all. The Bike over all worked like an ace, I did flipped it like a dozen times... but the excellent crash bars design did there job perfectly and not a scratch was made to body and panniers other then crash bars are naked, scratchy and little bent now.. lol.. the longest strectch was done last day when i cruise straight almost 700KM rouhgly on highway with few stops to relax a little.. bike worked perfectly in deep 1.5~2feet of water also in rain and cold (negative temp) ... I was acompanied with Honda Baja and Suzuki DRs and they were very fast in offroads I was not able to animate this fat machine as they did... also the wide seat of this machine did not allow me to properly put feets on ground specially when bike wobles in offroading climbs...:hmm::shrug: but on light offroads.. gravel or highways I did not let the baja and DR to have any chance to get ahead of me :D it gave me mileage of 24~26km/liter One serious issue I faced was that bike would stall and go dead unexpectedly at any moment of time... and would not start on mutlple start ups... I did not iced that when ever this happened I noticed the Feul pump "bzzzzzzz' was absent.... I am not sure why it was happening but it was a big issue for me in middle of no where... |
