The fast ace suspension on that bike costs more than a complete hawk .

I hadn't seen the price of that bike. $3800?...almost 4 Grand!... Not that the pitster isn't nice looking... But when you get in that price bracket, it makes it tough to rationalize getting a Chinese bike over a more mainstream one.

The picture of the cable above shows the end that plugs into the Kayo EFI; it looks very different than the RX3 EFI plug. |

In the end I got a waaay better price. (Closer to $3000) Plus, I could not find a used 250 with EFI. A new Wr250 is $8000, so I can buy 2.5 LXRs and still be ok. If this bike wasn't as well finished as it is, I never would have popped for it. |

BUT; when you look at the purchase price of the bike, see the quality in it's parts, and one more MAJOR thing: take all the performance mods you can think of and throw them at an Enforcer, Brozz, whatever....anddollar for dollar this bike is worth it. My Brozz was $1700 shipped to my door. Since, I've probably dumped another $500 (just guessing) so now we're up to $2200 bucks. After that money was spent I will end up with a bike with LITERALLY HALF the power-to-weight ratio that this bike has BONE STOCK. I'm a new rider and can already see myself outgrowing the Brozz. This 32hp machine may be more $ initially, but in the long run, I bet this machine gives longer lasting enjoyment. Anybody want to buy a 2016 Brozz with only 10 miles on it? Comes with ALOT of upgrades :lol: |

I'm certainly curious to see how it does on fuel economy. I've a hunch that it runs richer than necessary to make that extra power. |

Quick note on a cold start this morning:
1. I left the key and ignition on switch in the on position all night like a dummy. Dash was lit up when I walked into the garage. Doh! 2. It still fired right off. Idled high for a few seconds and then settled into the idle we set last night. (about 1400-1500 rpm) Very happy about it passing this test. Biggest reason I wanted fuel injection. |
I didn't catch it here but yes, that's the exact motor and cooling system that's in the RX3. Not the "ZS" on the engine number, It's a Zong!
I believe this bike is advertised with more HP though....and yes, good luck getting at those valves. The intake on the RX3 isn't bad....the exhaust on the other hand.... Sweet ride! |

or maybe diffrent A/F ratios quick tune ? it look like at least one company in China has seen the light & is trying take on the other companys in the offroad/enduro market... & not build 30 year old budget bikes and make a very poor job of it.. it will be interesting to see if they can in fact do the job as well as look like they can.. ... |

Tail light fail.
Needed to get the bike inspected today. Right off the bat there was no tail light. no running or brake. So I tore into the wiring and found that it was all wired correctly but it must have been a bad light from the factory. Luckily I had an LED strip light in the garage so I wired it in and took it to the inspection station. Passed with no issues. 22 miles round trip. I tried to take it easy and let things break in. Time for oil change #1 now. Really like this bikes power curve and road manners are good. Gearing is too low for street use as I was cruising at 55-60 for a bit, but was near the top of 6th. 5th and 6th are too close; a good enduro should have a nice tall 6th gear like a WR or XCW style transmission IMHO. A taller 6th would make this a perfect little tug. |
