New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[Miss America]

I got my tag today for the RX3. The lady behind the counter struggled a bit trying to find the information for it, but luckily the packet Sara sent from CSC contained everything that she needed. In and out within 10 minutes with my new tag! Now I just wish I had the bike! LOL

I've had my RX-3 for a couple of days now and have completed its first oil change. I was planning a local off-road trip and it occurred to me that I had not seen anything about the exhaust having a spark arrestor. Can anyone shed some light on whether this bike is legal for off-road?

That's an excellent question because for me, most of my riding will be on USFS back-roads. I saw the other response about approved cans have "USFS approved" stamped on them and I've seen that myself, but I also know my BMW F650GS doesn't have that stamped on either can too and I suspect none of the other BMW's that ride the millions of miles of adventure trails don't either, (I could be wrong on that though).

Now that you've brought it up, I'm going to be paranoid. It's not like "back-in-the-day" when people rode 2 stroke dirt bikes with crappy stock or home-made exhausts and sparks flying out the POS pipe they had on and "possibly" starting forest fires, but there are regulations on the books now and I don't want to end up paying a multi-thousand dollar fine because Ranger Rick is over-enthusiastic either. I know the bike isn't going to burn down the west coast, but anti-biker, anti-motor- tree huggers, (of which there are aplenty around here), will look for any reason to get our fire-roads shut down from ALL motor vehicles. Dag.....I guess I better figure this out.

Good for you.
