but at times it hardly went above 117kmh even trying to push further was hard...

after running period is over we will be going on long weekend trip both rides would be taking part so I will sure post how this interesting new Chinese Adventurer works out with an older Japanese thumper.

being optimistic i dont want it to out perform dr on dirt if it gives me a comfortable wide seat and good high end on long highway streches and still some what works out at the tail of a dr.. I am GOOOOODDDD :yay:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuI4KpsX_-4 This video is a little slow, but the gist of it is he did one heckuva hard race on a stock RX3. He mentions in part 1 (there's 2 parts) that his bike and a Triumph Tiger were the only ADV and stock bikes. He said that it took all he gave it, and it didn't let him down (somewhere around minute 9). He brought a knife to a gun fight, and came out alive and well. Just goes to show the naysayers what this bike can do.

Guys what about Idle control
 
1 Attachment(s)
My bike is an EFI RX3..

I noticed the idle speed stays at arounf 2k RPM... and bike if left idle while u r standing ona traffic signal picks up heat quite quick;ly as engine is constantly doing 2k RPM ..

I want to adjust its Idle around 1~15k RPM just like any other bike..

can ano one giude me how can I do it? or any thread where this is already discussed...

picture attached of meter..

AdventureDad 01-11-2017 08:54 PM

It "looks" like it's about 1800 rpm, and as far as I know, totally normal. At least that's what mine is at.

fjmartin 01-11-2017 09:41 PM

mine also

vickytulla 01-13-2017 03:03 AM

Cold start is like 2.3RPM
 
on a cold early morning ride to office i notice it stays at 2.3 for a while i think its controlled by the efi unit which lowers the RPM later on when engine is warm enough..

good showing... but don't make it into something it's not..
heckuva hard race!...We will have to agree to disagree on the meaning of hard or
yer to easly impressed....
hard to me is 2foot logs/rock shelves ie.. Elzberg/Romaniac/roof or Africa type terain...
With that terain.. I would agree with fast but yer prob get a R1 though most of it with the right tyres....

I have seen a Wee storm go though some pretty gnarly terrain so it is possable for the RX3...

Indeed, cant agree more...

I am still not able to get out of trails even though I am loving its ride as it improves day by day .... and I am sur eit is going to be my excellent cruiser for long tours..

but we do a Offroading (prety na$ty) ofroading bi-weekly every month...
and we throw, flip and skid our ride in sand , mud dirt like on every next ramp..
I dont take it there I know I will bring it back with a broken parts...

What I forsee is that I might have to but a pure trail for offroading fun days,,

I just found out that same motor which RX3 uses comes in a trail called GASGAS .. which is very interesting.. light weight body, efi, 21 wheel front and 25HP .. nice.. very nice

Not seen the GasGas with the Zongshen motor yet....
they were using the older carbed Yamaha WR250 motor but
Yamaha has run out of them & wouldn't sell GasGas there new
reverse head injected motors . So GasGas had to find another
motor for the 250/300 4T six day bikes.....
don't know if theres still a 300cc version . the 300 was a WR250
motor with the Athena 290 kit fitted at the factory...

They did have issue with the Zongshen motor at the beginning
from what i have read they now buy the motor as componets
& build them there selfs now.... don't know if they rework them before assembly...

love GasGas... I raced enduros on a EC200 a few years back.... Now have
a Husaburg TE125 thinking of selling i like the more relaxed TTR250 now
I found it dosn't worry if I'm not the fastest anymore... bloody old age thing
I think...

AJP with Zongshen power.
 
Not finding anything about Gas Gas, but AJP doesn't hide from where they are getting engines.

Here's a photo from the recently posted maintenance tutorial of the OBD meter connected to an RX3.

It shows the idle speed at ~1,800 rpm.

Also, no thumper I've ever had idled at 1000 rpms. Thats from 225 to 650cc's. When you say it picks up heat, what is the temp bar graph reading? It should be 2 or 3 bars
I've never seen 4, and i live in a very very hot and humid environment. Think jungle hot. We also have owners living in the desert in the USA, I'm not sure what theirs read.

The only GasGas we have are the trials bikes

Some of the other AJP's use Zongshen air-cooled 233cc engines
