anyone else cross the 2500/5000 mark recently? I think we'll have a few more over 10k and 20k this year!

Mine is back on the road after a slight hiccup, at 4,785 miles I had it fail to start for me at work last Tuesday (3/15/16..the day after my birthday :( ) had to haul it home.

After several phone calls with Gerry of CSC, and a few hours of trouble shooting, determined it to be a sticking injector, which Gerry shipped a new injector right out too me.

I received it yesterday, so I popped it in last night and she fired right up, and I'm ridding it today...She's already got me to work this morning, so hoping she is all fixed now, it will take a few days of riding her to make me more sure she's truly fixed, but I'm pretty sure she is.

Another satisfied Customer with CSC's Costumer Service!

Any idea why the stuck injector? Faulty or bad gas or something?

I would also like to know the probable cause of the problem. Nevertheless, whatever the cause, it's not the fault of Zongshen. The RX3 employs U.S. Delphi parts for the entire EFI system.

I think I'll stick Seafoam every 10th tank schedule, just as a precaution.

I have no ideal what caused it....it had seemed to be down on power a little the last few months, and my gas mileage had dropped a pretty good amount....I was attributing it to riding in the cold weather and Winter blend fuel....but may have been the injector acting up, as it seems to have restored it's power with the new injector....

Just glad to have it back on the road, as it is my only bike with heated grips
