CSC just posted a nice tutorial on fork maintenance at their blog.

I was very pleased to discover the Zongshen RX3 forks are an improved design over the standard Chinese forks installed on my Zongshen ZS200GY-2.

The new RX3 forks employ conventional fork bushings, which are located on the outside of the inner fork tube.

The standard Chinese forks placed the bushings inside the outer fork tube, which made them very inaccessible.

The RX3 forks are designed the same as Japanese forks, and this design is much superior. I continue to be impressed with the design improvements Zongshen has incorporated into the new RX3 motorcycle.

Zongshen has also added rebound damping to their latest RX3 forks.

If the cost is reasonable, I would certainly consider upgrading to the latest fork design.
