I use a bicycle-type, long shackle padlock and lock the helmet, through the d-ring, to the engine guard. The shackle is rubber coated and hasn't scratched the paint yet. I've had my gloves stolen...

So, in the process of cleaning the air filter and checking the plug, I found the plug wire just hanging loose, disconnected. How I got home yesterday I'll never know, but somehow the rubber plug...

I'm watching this...mine won't hold idle speed until warmed up. Just started, too, right after an oil change. I thought that might be related, but I'm leaning toward just a coincidence right now.

I want to keep up on the development of this bike. It looks like a good alternative for the kind of riding I do, although Zongshen's choices of batteries, etc. will make a huge difference. Thanks...

I have had trouble in heavy rain when the bike was hard to restart, but we're talking Biblical deluge rain, and never any trouble otherwise.

Good info, I'll track that down. I need something closer to the performance of my 125 GY6 scooter for the City Slicker to be viable for my commute. Thanks!

CSC City Slicker

Who knows anything about this bike? The specs are such that I think it will be too slow for me as supplied. How hard is it to modify the electronics to increase max speed on these things? If I...

I like my RX3 because it's a terrific commuter, it fits my long-ish body, and as a touring bike it forces me to route my trips along back roads, which is where all the good stuff is.

Thanks for the helpful reply. Good info, and I plan to replace both chain and sprockets together when the current chain is gone. I got a cheapie, so 5k miles would be fine with me.

I seem to have a loose chain all the time, so I don't think that's it. Funny how the chain tension seems to change depending on where you measure it, how much load is on the suspension, etc. I...

Good grief! The spec IS .06-.08mm. Those gauges are for .006-.008 inch. Egg on my face! Apologies to everyone.

So, why is the bike running so well on, roughly, double the required clearance?...

Anyone have a quick way to test the fans? It's over 100 around here, and confirming their operation would make me happy. My BMW overheated once when the fan siezed up, and that was a drag.
