Wait until you change the fork oil, and adjust the spring preload on the shock absorber; you will like the bike even more.

Adjusting the rebound damping of the shock does help. Adjusting the spring preload of the shock helps even more to make it respond properly to your weight and riding conditions.

Looks like it is battery time
Wheeled the RX3 out to go for a ride this am and it would not start, after a few seconds the battery won't even turn the motor over. Looks like I am in the market for a new battery for my year old bike! What are the current recommendations for a replacement battery? Like to hear what folks are replacing their "defective " batteries with. Thanks!

Here are some options:
Yuasa YTZ12S-DS 12v 11ah Battery $31 Bikemaster DLFP-14ZS $100 Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 $152 Online pricing I ALWAYS put my bike on the trickle charger after each ride at home. Not sure if you do. If you go with a Lithium Iron battery you need a special trickle charger for it. The LI batteries super lightweight also. You can find other options on the CSC website
