Don't forget the shock with adjustable preload and rebound.
And it has an excellent dashboard too. Analog tach Digital speedo Gear indicator Engine temp gauge Fuel gauge Clock Trip mileage meter Neutral indicator Turn signal indicator Check engine light High beam indicator Fuel empty warning light |

Yes, the shock absorber has both preload and rebound damping adjustment. However, I consider the shock absorber the only marginal component on this motorcycle. Fortunately, it appears CSC might soon offer for sale an aftermarket, replacement shock absorber. :) |
It's been mentioned before, but I also like how responsive Zongshen has been to customer feedback and how committed they are to improving this bike.
Several features in spud's list were improvements to CSC's production model that the demo bikes didn't have, which were provided at no additional cost. 17" rear wheel with cushion hub (up from 15") 300 watt alternator (up from 220) Improved wiring harness with extra accessory plugs and handlebar switches Regulator/rectifier moved from inside rear panel to behind the radiator fan Stainless steel header pipe, rerouted higher Relocated O2 sensor (less exposed) Redesigned, split body panel for easier maintenance Plus the optional factory 19" front wheel (a worthwhile $200 upgrade) |
Indeed, CSC offers excellent customer service which is not surpassed by the vendors of any Japanese or European motorcycle. The standard of customer service provided by CSC is absolutely unparalleled in the world of Chinese motorcycles. :tup:
CSC is doing a far better job with customer service than Zongshen America ever accomplished. ;) We are fortunate such a reputable company as CSC decided to import the Zongshen RX3 to North America. :) |

I have a friend with a European brand that had driveline issues. The parts were specific for that one model year, so no used parts available. And getting new parts has been a 1.5 month wait. And the repair estimate is probably 60% of the RX-3's MSRP. The RX-3 is a good deal. But CSC's extraordinary customer service makes the RX-3 a "Great Deal." I've read nothing but superlatives about the support and expediting of parts to people in need. Amazing. I'm not an owner (yet!) but the time they take to answer my many, many questions speaks volumes about their customer service model and business ethos. That, combined with the hard miles all have put on their bikes and the many miles Joe and company have put on the RX-3 have me sold on this bike. |
I was reluctant to buy the RX3 sight unseen, but I did my research. I read countless reviews and forums about the M1nsk, the Honley and various South American versions of the RX3 that have been around for years, plus the amazing blog about riding a Zongshen RX3 on the Silk Road from China to Turkey. I also learned that the 250cc engine has been used in other bikes like the AJP-PR5, with great success.
Plus the fact that CSC has been in business with Zongshen for many years and has a great reputation for service in the US. The positive reviews and test rides by respected magazines in the US back it up. And I haven't been disappointed. |
Well, I took a test ride on one today. The bike is surprising in that the torque curve is flat and broad. The Ninja 250R I test rode years ago was peaky in its power delivery. No power nor torque until 8,000 rpm and then it started accelerating. The RX-3 is very different and belies its 250cc displacement. I would call the RX-3's power delivery very "linear" and very usable.
Is the bike a good deal? Well, let me say that it is such a great deal that I made one my own today! |
