Initial impression of RX3 for a trail bike rider

[Jay In Milpitas]

Hello and welcome!

The RX3 with fuel injection is very sensitive to valve clearance. Be sure you have that adjusted correctly.

RX3 also have sprockets that are better for high speed. For trails most riders have changed to 13t front sprocket, and some have also changed the back sprocket to 46t from stock 44. Really makes the power feel better.

I can not help you about the speedometer, I don't look at mine.

You can make the fuel gauge read better by bending the arm for the float. You will find instructions somewhere here.

Good luck, enjoy your RX3!

jay speaks truth

as i understand, dr is not efi. unless efi is programed for hot performance as in rx3 it is just dutifully following instructions from its computer brain.

not sure if led headlight is included in 17' models but has been reported extensively here that it is lacking

speedo should have been addressed with digital wire solution but don't think it was included on the rx3's as reported by csc dude blog...We’ve got new RX3s and TT250s inbound. The new 2017 TT250s will have tachs and digital speedos (and the price will stay at $2195)

vicky...we are happy to have you. we are not just a fanboy site for csc but we are their biggest fans

yes the DR we still have in the group is far ahead in low end performance, the RX3 responds after 5k RPM and ahead..

I have no clue if my Rx3 EFI is tuned or just following instructions, I did notice the Idle speed is very high .. like 2k RPM which seems not normal..
