I have posted 3 different big bore kits on eBay as there are 3 brands and 3 prices.
Cheapest being $199.99 shipped via ePackete seeing the packaging is smaller lighter and able to offer a cut down price - no extras etc but low low price. My premium product is the RTC at $250 and for MX bikes and those wanting to try the 298cc there is the 3rd kit for $325 shipped (also light smaller packaging). I think I have the best options for customers needs |

Curious to see how the 298 kit works out. I may have to spring for it this summer when I'm dying for a project, not that I'm unhappy with my RTC kit. Has anyone installed one yet?

That would be my main concern. If the stock EFI can feed the bigger hole.

Finally was able to be home with decent weather to ride. NZ's seat cover is awesome, at least as comfy as any other mod or combination of mods I've tried. For the price, can't be beat.
However, doesn't matter any more. The RX3 has 12460 miles, and that's all I'll go for. I've been riding for 54 years and literally have had to tow the bike home for repairs as many times in 12460 miles as all previous street bikes combined, about 660,000 miles. Also, the RX3 takes 3-4 times as many hours to keep it serviced and repaired as any other motorcycle I've had over the last 54 years. If I didn't have other bikes I'd be stuck in the shop tomorrow fixing the RX3 AGAIN instead of riding. Tomorrow I'm changing the oil and switching the plate to the TW276 café. It hasn't yet broken. The RX3 is getting fuel treatment and shoved to the back of the stack of projects wanting my attention. I regret selling the Nighthawk 750 instead of making the ergos fit. Minimum maintenance and dependable as a rock. Brake, electrical, suspension, and ergo upgrades would come out cheaper than keeping the RX3 running, and never adjust valves. AAAaaaahhhhh!!! |

It would be nice if he'd start a new thread with a chronological list of failures for the rest of us RX3 guys. I think he took a good tumble at one point too.

RX3 20,000 Miles
My 2015 RX3 just rolled over 20,000 miles. Used for daily commuting and weekend road trips in Southern Calif. Fair amount of 2 up riding. Still have the original front tire, but I have changed the rear already 3 times. I had the gear shift lever spring fail at about 12,000 miles and that repair involved some partial tear down to replace. While I was in there I replaced the clutch as well. Did not really need the clutch, but while it was apart I got it done.
That little spring has been my only failure. That spring has been upgraded so should not be a problem for anyone going forward. Very reliable bike. Valve adjustments require some time to partially tear down the bike to get to the valve covers, after that it goes quickly and easily. I have noticed that the exhaust valve need adjustment more frequently than the intakes. I do the exhaust valves every 3,000 miles with minimum tear down of the bike. I do the intake valves every 6,000 with more disassembly of the bike required. I set the valve adjustment at the higher end of the specification. That gap gets smaller over time as the bike is ridden until out of spec. |

Yep, we should start a fresh one on this subject.

Newer design front disc
I wonder if a bit better resistance to the pulse they suffer from Mind you more aggressive braking solves that too Last edited by NzBrakelathes; 07-02-2019 at 07:04 PM. |
