Many of the motocross racing bikes have a piston with a single compression ring, which facilitates operating at high rpms. However, most non-racing engines have pistons with two compression rings, which reduces contamination of the engine oil from combustion gasses, and increases the life of the piston rings. The Zongshen RX3 has a piston with two compression rings.

Just heard from Zongshen central here in Peru- the Lima office called me an hour ago in response to an e mail I sent them. They will have the RX3 in Lima they say----wait for it---- wait for it-----on or about the 15th of this month they SAY--- and will call me when the shipment arrives......
Not much help for either of us but hey best I can do on short notice Expat |

Grass to cut. Chickens to feed. Mowers to fix. (Grass still growing) Trees to cut. Way to many projects in the shop. Need to build another chicken coop. Fix the outside chicken run. Pet the dog. That should keep me busy until it arrives.

Joe Berk and Susie are making the rounds at the motorcycle shows. Here is my favorite photograph of a young lady trying the RX3 on for size at San Mateo.
You can see other photos at the CSC blog. http://californiascooterco.com/blog/

In his Patagonia motorcycle consideration thread, Expat informed us there is a white Zongshen RX3 available for sale in Lima, Peru. He might be making a trip over there to inspect, and possibly purchase that motorcycle.

ZongShen RX3 Manual
So I have my RX3 and love it, love everything about it. The only issue I have is this. My Chinese manual! Can someone PLEASE direct me to a pdf manual or something or if you have one in English can you maybe scan the thing? I desperately need this. Having a bike with no manual is just not a good thing.
