Folding shift lever and oil filter screen
Here are some more practical accessories for the RX3 engine from aliexpress. the nice part is ... no taobao agent ... you buy just like ebay.
You can get a lot of RX3 parts on aliexpress. Search for "NC250" for RX3 engine parts and "RX3" for body parts and accessories. For stock parts, I would buy from CSC first, but for non-stock parts, it's nice to have options. Oil Filter Screen (replaces the paper filter) Folding Shift Lever (non-bling) Exhaust Silencer

I like the shifter ! Are you considering switching out your paper filter?

I will probably get one. Spud has one and likes it a lot. The paper filter offers peace of mind but is very expensive. If you change your oil religiously and fully drain from all the ports, there shouldn't be any problems.
The AJP-PR5 uses the same engine and comes stock with the oil screen instead of a paper filter. One of those guys was on here asking how to convert to a paper filter!

Is the exhaust a direct bolt on
Or do we have to modify the original exhaust |

That filter does look like the way to go. I'm all for supporting the Mother Ship when possible but the paper ones are terribly expensive, especially with how often you should change the oil. Is that muffler USFS Approved???

Sorry, I don't have any info on the muffler. I just stumbled across it.

I got 70,000 miles from the original engine in my Zongshen Sierra 200. It came from the factory with an SS, reusable oil filter. These are the only oil filters I ever used with that motorcycle.

Incidentally, you don't have to change the paper oil filter with every oil change. My SS oil filters don't get very dirty at all. I'm sure you could change the paper oil filter every 5 oil changes, without any problems, whatsoever. However, I enjoy cleaning, and inspecting the SS oil filters at every oil change. In this manner I can better monitor the health of the engine.

I never noticed a difference in length, so I always use the spring with the SS oil filters. If you can, please post a few links which show the difference in length between the paper and SS oil filters.

It appears to me that both oil filters appear to be approximately 105 mm in length.

I spray WD-40 through the hole in the oil filter so it passes from the inside to the outside of the filter. If necessary, I also spray a little WD-40 on the outside of the oil filter. Then I push the nozzle of my garden hose against the hole in the oil filter, and spray water from the inside to the outside of the oil filter. This procedure thoroughly cleans the SS oil filter from the inside out, and only takes a minute of two to perform.
