Considering the Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) NC250, sells on TaoBao:- 宗申RX3(ZS250GY-3) NC250 越野街车 个性摩托车 可店内上牌 价格 ¥19800.00 (with no Luggage Rack, Top Box, Panniers) The SRP of PHP130,000 with 50% Deposit and Balance via 12 x Post Dated Checks, CNY19,800.00 = 139,742.188 Philippine Peso, is pretty good price. It might be Carb version rather than Fuel Injection (but less to go wrong and easier to troubleshoot and repair), but comes inclusive with Top Box and Panniers, and 12V and USB power outlets. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...ucket=2#detail Perhaps this is inclusive of the luggage and 12V/USB Power outlets:- Price is CNY21,800 which would be PHP153,821.859 |

Thanks for posting the information. Have the RX3 motorcycles been delivered to the Philippines? Have you bought an RX3?

Hey Katflap, sorry to hear about the tip over on such a new bike; I've been there it sucks. I've actually droped and crashed every motorcycle I've ever owned and I don't expect it to be any diffrent with this one. So how did it hold up to the little tip over? Any damage? How did all the crash protection fair?

Great line!
Should there be another unfortunate drop in the future, I recommend that you consider this lifting procedure: Stand facing away from the seat, with your heels against it. Crouch down, find a place to grab with both hands and lift with your legs. If the bike fell on the right side, pop the kickstand down first, so the bike has something to land on. If the bike fell on the left side, be careful to not push it over.

These were then available from Motorstar Branch on 10th Ave in Manila, I believe. The price is PHP130,000 (USD2,496)with 50% Deposit and Balance via 12 x Post Dated Checks, I was working in China (Changsha, Hunan), so I could not place an order. No deliveries to Cebu by Motorstar (which is where I live and here currently for Spring Festival break) https://www.facebook.com/groups/zons...96627250366110 https://www.facebook.com/groups/730916903631862/ |

Katflap pointed out that in the UK, the RX-3 is equipped with a spring loaded sidestand, since it does not have a sidestand kill switch.
Does anyone know what CSC's bikes will be equipped with? I think the US also requires some kind of system to prevent riding off with sidestand down. |

My Honda XR650L has a safety switch on the side stand, but my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 does not. I can't recall seeing a safety switch on the side stand in any photographs of the Zongshen RX3.
I don't believe this safety switch is mandatory in the United States. I have read this switch is mandatory in Canada, but I haven't verified that information.

I've never heard of a mandatory kickstand safety switch in Canada. Doesn't mean it isn't so, but it would be news to me.

@ G19Tony -----Spanner sizes –
Rear axle21mm both sides, alignment adjusters 13mm Front axle 19mm one side. The other side, protruding round shaft with aprox 8mm hole through the diameter held tight by 2 x 10mm fork pinch bolts. @ jimjr21 ----- I will remember your photographic tip for the future, thanks. It was a shame because there really was a fantastic view from there. @ SpudRider ---- My bike came without the cush hub which would have been a nice addition .That said I’m not finding it uncomfortably snatchy The rear sprocket seems to match the JTR 897 – 44 but no good for the cush hub version but this link shows that it’s still using a 44 tooth sprocket http://2.taobao.com/item.htm?id=43664671492&spm=a230r.1.14.279.wdjGJj& ns=1&abbucket=8#detail The front sprocket has 14 teeth with a flange on the inner side. It is secured to the shaft with a bolt and lock washer. The outer side has a hole to one side of the bolt where a small tongue from the lock washer fits in to. The lock washer has a tab that is bent up against one of the bolts flat edges to hold it in place. Im sure you know the sort of thing it is. Sorry I can’t give you shaft and spline details at the moment but I want to make sure I can get a replacement lock washer before I start taking it a part. I will re check the teeth number and get back to you because this link shows the front sprocket having 13 teeth. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-c.w4002-7242439086.119.ZmWXGG&id=39099439130 @ 3banger --- Thanks for the morale booster; I will try not to make dropping the bike a regular thing. The bike had a soft landing because I was pretty much underneath it! But the screen broke when it hit my rubbish wheelie bin. It’s now back on the bike but looks bloody awful where I have glued it back together. A new one is on order! @ Weldangrind ----- I will definitely take your advice on lifting the bike in the future. I’ve already got a dodgey back and shoulder from years of bad lifting! |

A little bit of info.
Top box & large pannier inside measurements w = 38cm, L = 28cm, Depth including lid recess 19cm Smaller pannier is the same but the depth is reduced to 8cm * for a good 50% of it. (* I think 8cm is correct struggling to read my own hand writing) Oil filter 100mm long (metal to metal) with a diameter of 30mm One end at the centre seems to have a ball bearing and spring style pressure relief valve. The other end has a glued rubber washer diameter of 25mm, thickness 2mm and hole in the centre of 8 or 9 mm. Download - circuit diagram including EFI in English https://mega.co.nz/#!40pADJjZ!1wOenhh9h9QCaSRghWwUlhx_MmcUInDCnSTmBts 4VQE If your bikes do come with a retracting side stand it’s quite easy to modify if you want to. Im thinking of rigging up a switch and buzzer to let me know when it’s still down! |

Thanks for letting us know. I only read that misinformation in one thread at another website, so I wasn't ready to accept it. You certainly can't believe everything you read on the internet.
