Fuel consumption
(RX3 UK version with EFI)
On a rough calculation I'm getting about 65 MPG (imperial) using super unleaded (97 RON ) which I think is about 78 miles per US gallon. This is from a daily 20 mile commute consisting of equal amounts of 30, 40 & 60 MPH roads. Nice ride to work I don't think the bike would be good for a lot of below 30mph stop start city riding. I am finding my bike does seem to prefer being warmed up before setting off in the morning ( temperature is about 3 or 4 centigrade ). |

In preparation to buy my RX3 (Philippine Carbureted Version) I decided to experiment on my current motorcycle - 110cc Semi automatic Kymco Visar. What a PITA. Just to get to the air filter I had to strip remove over 30 screws/bolts and most of the fairings. The screws/bolts were relatively easy but the fairings were all connected in some way that required finesse or possibly break a tab joining the pieces.
This is my first attempt to service my bike myself. I'm not a skilled wrencher so I probably took twice as long as a qualified person. In short.. I hope that the RX3 is easier to disassemble and work on. |

Cannot understand a word this guy is saying, but apparently this is a bike using the RX3's engine from a couple years back. Would be interested to know how the bike holds up overall?

The only specs I don't like is the wheel sizes and low seat. And it doesn't give ground clearance on that sheet either. I am not sure how most bikes get their ground clearance measured either, is it with rider or empty/ John

Somebody recently asked to see a photograph which shows the position of the CSC center stand in the retracted position. I spotted this photograph on another forum.

Anyone who had rode the bike before feels that the hot air from the right side of the radiator is blowing rapidly on your right leg. And also does the pillion feel hot on the right leg as well since the muffler is just beside the rear fot rest. Was wearing shorts the other day and i could feel the hot air blowing onto my right leg and its pretty hot.......

Regarding container unloading from the ship. It will happen in less than 1 day. The next delay will be getting the container out of the yard and onto a trailer for its trip to CSC.
I would expect 4-7 days from ship berthing to deliver to CSC.

You already received your bike? So fast I am still waiting for my bike. They said the bike should be available after CNY. Where did you buy your bike? How's the overall performance? |

Whats happening with the back tire/wheel on the blue one? Is that just some sort of optical camera screw up?
