What Did You Do to Your RX3 Today?

Rus · 09-28-2016, 09:51 AM

Not today but last Saturday and Sunday. I changed oil in the engine and set the valve. I also cleaned the air filter. All this was on a Saturday. On Sunday morning I and my friends (volunteers) went to the orphanage. On that day, we drove over 350 miles to create a holiday for children, where the most interesting and the expected point programs children were riding on motorcycles. RXз confidently withstood all the way to the passenger at a speed of 75-80 miles per hour.

Wonderful, Rus!!!!

A great thing you did for children who deserve a better life.

Oh, and that is a very pretty zebra on the back of your M1nsk.

390 miles (indicated) on my RX3 last Saturday. Did a light camping trip from the DC area out to Ohio with some friends, had a great time but decided to head back a bit early since the night-time temps were dropping. Left Newcomerstown OH at 7:30. Took great winding back roads including rt 800 to cross the Ohio by ferry at Sistersville, then more back roads to link up with Rt 50, which I followed all the way back to DC.

Early part of the trip was fairly slow because of hills and curves, but made up some time on Rt 50. Back home at 6:00. RX3 ran flawlessly, and while I was tired after 10 1/2 hours of pretty much straight riding, I was still having fun.

Jay In Milpitas, zebra says thank you

Thank you, comrades. My friends and I tried to go to the children every weekend during the warm season, and as often as possible during the cold season

When I ordered my RX3 I ordered the 'trail package'. That's the 19" front wheel and off-road tires for front and rear. The bike came out of the crate wearing those off road tires Also in the crate were the OEM rear tire, and the OEM 18" front wheel with tire. After almost 2500 miles on the large block tires I am switching over to the more road oriented OEM tires. I want to use up the rubber that I have paid for. I also want to see if the more road oriented tires will give a smoother ride (bound to!) and better grip in twisty stuff. The Shinko rear came off the rim pretty smoothly but when I tried to mount the Chinese made OEM tire I met my match. The sidewall is so stiff I simply could not get the second bead over the rim. Luckily I could go a shop that would finish the mounting job for me. Changing the front wheel will be a snap by comparison! Along that line, since I have upgraded the front disc there would be a mismatch if I were to use the OEM disc on that 18" wheel so I have ordered the larger disc for my spare front wheel. I'm actually thinking about getting another rear wheel too. That way I can swap out tire/wheel combo at will. Heck the rear wheel is only $200. Christmas will be here before you know it!
