I am assuming that is what day and time it is on the other side of the world. Or at least the last time the update to the map is made on that side of the world. I can already see that the ship has moved since I first checked this morning. I am not sure how often the map updates. I am sure it is on the website somewhere. / |

Yup. the 85KM was running on the 1st tank. Now on my 2nd tank. looks like its going to do better.....but we'll see.......the first could be due to the cranky new engine that's hard to go by. But now it's getting better. But still some problems with starting. Sometimes the engine just died on 1st gear idling at the traffic light and it needs a few tries before it gets started. Anyway i will take your advise and twitch the pilot jet and see if it improves.

Greetings everyone. I'm Jay from Malaysia, specifically the eastern part (Borneo).
I already paid down payment for this gorgeous RS3 (yeah, Malaysia distributor KTN changed it from RX3 to RS3...but I prefer RX3). Hopefully will get the bike after 10th of March, because it will take some time for it to be shipped from Johor to Kota Kinabalu. Apparently, I will be the first one here (Borneo) to ride it. Hehe. Okay, here comes the questions. I sent an email to CSC (because I'm unable to contact Malaysia distributor, which is KTN, and even their website doesn't show email address, and Joe Berk seems to be a nice dude , asking about the swapping/change of the rear wheel from 15 to 17. The answer that I get was from Steve (I believe Joe said it somewhere in CSC blog that he's the CEO, basically making him The Man. If it's true, thank you very much Steve!) Steve said something about the rear hub, about it being solid or cush hub. Frankly, I have no idea about the technicality of wheels, and how to change one. I also referred to http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14104, and would like to summarize this wheel-changing thingie from my view (which is, very non-expert). So people, please, bear with me, and do correct me when I'm wrong or spurring out nonsenses. 1) In order for me to change the wheel from 15 to 17 using the stock hub, I would have to:- a) Check the type of hub on the rear wheel (cannot check it, since haven't received the bike yet) b) Find a sprocket that can fit the hub that still have the same numbers of tooth in order to maintain the final drive ratio. c) Find my self a shiny new wheel. 2) Can any 17 rear wheel be fitted with any tyres? I mean, if I want to fit 130/90-17, and decided later to change to 130/70-17, I don't suppose that I have to change the wheel too, do I? It's hard enough to find the non-existent 15 DS rear tyre in Malaysia. I'm hoping the change from 15 to 17 wheel is not that hard. Thank you very much for reading, and replying. |

There ya go, FTEY!
you're da man! This should help him get his bike and especially mpg and carb issues fixed straightaway, and in short order!
Let me know if I can help in anyway, also. Thats one of the things that I'm REALLY enjoying with this bike purchase and ownership experience. Even before MY delivery, I am learning and being helped through others experiences and by helping others in other markets with their issues where I have some experience. I'm not sure why, ON THIS BIKE, it seems that people are more "old school" types, and are generous and forthcoming with offers to help fellow owners musch more than on ANY other forum I've been a part of. Also the almost TOTAL lack of negativity, internet trolls and trollers, and the general attitude of "We're all in this together" as fellow owners, "Brothers of Zong", if you will! hehe Thats VERY, VERY unusual in my experience, but also, very very refreshing, useful, and really puts a smile on my face every time I come to this thread/site!! Obviously there are others with a similar opinion/experiences, as the popularity of the thread and thus the site, is really becoming an internet sensation and HUGE "hit" re numbers involved and watching and following (reading) it! Great job, Spud, and Quadz (the owner)! THANK YOU!! |

As of one hour ago, the Hanjin Germany was sailing northeast at 13 knots, about to enter the Tsugaru Strait which separates the Japanese islands of Hokkaido and Honshu.
After passing through the strait, the Germany will leave the Japan Sea and enter the main body of the Pacific Ocean. Here is a view of the north island of Hokkaido from the ship's current position, courtesy of Google Earth. Here is a photograph of the main Japanese island, Honshu, from the ship's current position.
