Recall Notice 2015-2016 RX3
Hey guys! Sorry for my long absence. I relocated to NY state and finally got all settled in. More about that at another time.
I just came across this recall notice. It basically is just a Brake Fluid sticker that is missing and will throw you out of compliance to state laws. http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reca...e/#more-125617 Figured I would share if you have not already seen it. I have to go check my bike. For those that do not want to click on the link...here is what is said: "CSC Motorcycles is recalling 392 units of its Cyclone model, as the motorcycles might not have a label that reminds the owners to clean the brake reservoir before adding brake fluid. and to use DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. The recall affects only 2015 and 2016 CSC Cyclone models, which were manufactured between April 4, 2015 and November 10, 2016, and comes about because the motorcycles thus fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 122, “Motorcycle Brake Systems”. This is because the absence of this label could lead a CSC Cyclone owner to fill their bike with the wrong brake fluid, which could result in a crash, the recall has been issued. As such, CSC Motorcycles will notify affected owners, and will provide the customer with the missing label, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin this month, December 2016. Concerned owners may contact CSC Motorcycles’ customer service department at 1-800-884-4173, and reference CSC’s number for this recall: 16-0023810-18747-10." |

Thanks! That really means a lot. It just took so long to get settled and every moved. It's my first move as a married woman. It was easier when it was just me. lol A few boxes, a motorcycle and my car. I didn't realize how much men collect!

Welcome back, Rania! And I too thank you for posting the recall info. I'll make sure to take the decal and add it to the folder where I keep the muffler decal.
I hope that you and your hubby are enjoying upstated, New York! If you think men have a lot of stuff, wait until you see the 2nd truckload arrive with all the boxes for the garage! |

OMG...I was so laughing when you said that, cause I was thinking to do the same darn thing! NY is beautiful! So much different than NYC. The mountains remind me of being in Tennessee in the Smokey's. Just beautiful! |

Mark, they only mention dates. However, it does say that CSC will be calling those affected. In the meantime, you could reach out to them if you are concerned.

The recall notice mentioned less than 400 units so I'll take that as the number of RX3's sold in the US.....actually not bad when you consider the number of dealers (none) and the advertising budget (zero).
Rania, does the move to NY mean that you now have a real garage where you can work on the bikes? That alone will open up great possibilities. Next you can start looking for a Handy Lift (http://www.handyindustries.com). Welcome back to the campfire! Peter Y. |

So 200 bikes a year? Is that enough to stay afloat? Guess works out with the additional tt250 sales and oncoming rc3 s . Hope they watch their pennies.

The new Naked bike should be a hit. If I had spare cash, I would have one of each model. Because why not! lol |

Even if it's 200/year the key is keeping overhead low. CSC is a pretty lean operation. I think it's smart to grow slowly and steadily. Let's compare to Moto Guzzi NA. Guzzi sells about 350 V7 models in the US every year (that's a guess based on information the factory does release). Against that they have to carry an advertising budget big enough to pay for all those slick ads in the magazines. Then there is the cost of the regional reps, and head office folks. Somehow Guzzi NA has kept the doors open. Granted, the V7 sells for 2X what the RX3 sells for so there are more absolute dollars in play. Still, the overhead is a killer.
