Hi No1Vic

Glad to see i'm not the only one in the UK with an RX3

my speedo also reads high, about 10MPH above true speed .I will be interested to hear how you get on with fitting a speedo healer. I hadn't thought about the increased recorded mileage issue

I fixed my side stand like this

But only after i dropped my bike because of this issue

I was also having the stall issue at traffic lights etc. But found that if i let the bike warm up on idle until at least 1 bar on the temp gauge before setting off has worked around the problem. Now it rarely stalls .

Why this works for me i don't know because before i started doing this it would stall at junctions etc. Engine hot or cold.

The best i have found for restarting is to give it a good handful of throttle whilst starting , when it catches it sounds like a lawn mower , the shut the throttle down once it does and all is normal and running. This i do without turning the ignition off then on again.
