RX-4 purchase
I was an early adopter of the RX-3, but sold it after around 1000 miles. I got distracted by something else. :crazy: I'll be taking delivery of my RX4 mid November. I'm going to do a fly and ride, and ride it home to Vegas. I've found a route that keeps me off the interstate. It will take longer, but that's the idea. I'm also having all the farkles installed at CSC. I purchased a Garmin Zumo 396 LMT-S that they will hardwire to the bike for me when I get there. The OEM spoked wheels will get shipped back to me. It will be nice to have a bike, that I shouldn't have to do anything to, for a change. ;)

My RX4 is smooth up up 6000 rpm then gets a little buzz around 6500 and is smooth again at 7000 and up. Not enough for me to feel and does not badly distort the mirrors. I would not have even noticed it, except that I hear a slight vibration in the aluminum skid plate. When I go back and ride my old RX3 it sure feels light weight and under powered compared to the RX4.

Working on RX4

Go to Amazon or to you favorite motorcycle supply shop and find a motorcycle kickstand plate or foot or pad as it is called. This will add length and stability to the kickstand. Then find a "SnapJack" from your shop or Amazon. This makes the kickstand act like part of a center stand while the SnapJack acts like the other part of the center stand. I have used this setup on both the front and rear wheel. It is stable, reasonably priced, and light weight.

A normal kickstand plate won't do the job. The OEM kickstand would have to be extended about 1.5" (maybe even more) to reduce the lean angle enough to be stable.

Try Removing Your Rear Wheel

It is true that the SnapJack is not as stable as a good center stand. But when it is your only option on the road, you find a way to make it work. It comes with a good Velcro strap to clamp the front brake lever so the front wheel locks. That helps keep the bike from moving. It is not really meant for wheel removal, but if it is your only option, it can be done. For other type of work, the bike will be reasonably safe & stable. Be careful.

If you really need to remove a wheel, and really really have no other choice, say, you're on a trip in the middle of nowhere, you can always lay the bike on its side and work there. Good crash bars as the RX3/4 have, helps a lot. Not pretty, not easy, but at least it won't go anywhere. I even serviced my clutch that way once, without even removing the oil.

But I can tell you from experience that the tank will leak fuel. Could be just my bike, but when knocked over in a parking lot there was a lot of fuel spillage.

Mhh mine doesn't :hmm:

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