How full was the tank? When mine leaked it was probably over 3/4 full.

Slow Sales and Not Many Owners?
I’m really surprised by the low number of RX4 bike owners posting on this RX4 thread. I kept hearing how popular the RX4 is, and how many were being sold.
And I kept being told how many were being ordered by CSC and how many were being purchased. Have the large shipments of the RX4’s ordered by CSC actually arrived in the U.S.A.Yet? And are the RX4 bikes actually being sold in larger numbers? Does anyone actually know how many RX4 have been Sold by CSC? And how many are available for sale at CSC’s dealership? And does anyone know how many more RX4’s are on their way by ship from China? Good luck! PCG |

It's Only Been A Month And Winter Is Coming

Regarding CSC's sales figures, no, I don't have a clue as to how many RX4's that they have imported, sold, or currently have in stock. I'm pretty sure that they will keep that information pretty close to their vests, since they don't want competitors to know it. All the manufacturers are pretty much the same way. Asking for sales data is like pulling teeth, except pulling teeth is easier. |

No New Owners???
I’ve been watching for NEW RX4 owners to post on this site to express their joy for their NEW RX4. I haven’t seen any NEW postings, so I guess that all the buyers have received the new bikes. I was hoping that there would be a lot more new RX4 buyer/owners.
I’ll keep watching. PCG |

Too busy riding the RX4, no time to post about it. Just turned over 500 miles so I did the first oil change. Same process like the RX3. Take out drain plug, take out strainers, take out and replace the filter. I have their after market aluminum skid plate. It has a hole designed in it below the oil drain plug. I did not remove the skid plate to drain the old oil. Yes, some did spill on the inside of the skid plate and even on the exhaust, but most drained out of the hole as designed. I just wiped it off best I could when the job was done. Much easier than removing the skid plate. After 500 miles of daily commuting use, all is good. It is a nice bike.

I think that more RX4 owners will post elsewhere. Adventure Rider has an active RX4 group. China Riders...not so much.

I have requested setting up a RX4 section. Hopefully it will get set up soon.

I rode my RX-4 back from Azusa in a two day run Wed-Thu last week. When I spec'd the bike out, I put everything on it that was available. I'm very glad that I upgraded the seat, to the Seat Concepts version. I've had SC seats on other bikes and have never been disappointed. The Apollo heated grips were another upgrade that is worth its weight.
The bike ran fine during the trip, I put 390 miles on it, taking secondary highways back to Las Vegas. My other bike is a 317lb Honda CB300R. It took a minute getting used to the extra 100 plus pounds. I'm already planning a trip to Phoenix and Tucson for later this month, or the first of next month. I don't intend to use this on the dirt that much, gravel or smooth dirt. I think this is the touring bike I've been looking for. My experience at CSC was great! Everybody is very helpful and friendly. I'd like to get a TT250 and a San Gabriel sometime.

Just trying to keep the RX4 thread alive. I am in So Cal and there has been some rain and I have had some time in hospital, so not much riding. Now the weather is clear and I am feeling good and have almost 1000 miles on the RX4. It is a blast to ride, decent power and brakes combined with good on road manners. If it was 50 pounds lighter and had smoother delivery of power at the lower RPM range, it would be the unicorn we are all looking for. It really is a great bike for the money.

Any issue or advice for running a new bike home?
Quote:
While I am not quite ready to buy yet, I am thinking of doing what you did and pick up the bike in Azusa to ride home. My ride would be a bit longer; to Denver. Do you think there is any issue with running a new bike for such a trip (1000 miles, lots of up and down altitude changes thru Utah, then the Continental Divide in Colorado)? I know I would need to do an oil change half-way, but I would be stopping anyway for the night at close to 500 miles (I figure on 3 days of 325/day, so at the end of day 2 do an oil change). Did CSC give you any advice? Thanks, Goob

Goob, a 1000 mile break in ride should not be a problem if you follow the suggestions already mentioned. Just to be on the safe side, I'd carry a quart of 10W50 non synthetic oil. Check the level daily and add as necessary. You probably won't need more than a small amount but it's always better to have the oil than need it...only to find the stores closed.
