Therefore, I surmise the frame of the RX3 would probably obstruct the kick start lever, and one can't install it on the RX3. However, we will know better regarding this matter after the RX3 arrives in North America.
After swapping the other parts over, the kicker could be modified to suit the RX-3 frame. If it's not conducive to comfortable riding after modification, it could be stored in a pannier.
