CSC has reported several springs on their center stands have broken. Therefore, if you have installed your CSC center stand, you should remove it. If you have not installed your center stand, don't do so until CSC ships you an improved spring.

![]() Here is the spring I bought. The coils are about the same thickness, but the attachments have more curve to them. ![]()

According to the pic, the upper spring mount seems to be a flat bracket that is retained by an 8mm bolt.

JimJr21,
Your access to a shipping scale is a wonderful asset. Thank you for weighing the engine guards, luggage mounts, and luggage. ![]() If you have time, and are so inclined, I would love to know the weight of the very substantial muffler on the RX3. ![]()

Looks like the muffler weighs about the same as a CRF. And the trailer it sits on. I wouldn't be surprised if the muffler is lighter than it looks. Doesn't matter to me until I get a wild hair and a few days off to design and build a new exhaust.

There is a catalytic converter in the very front of the muffler. It is about 3" long and about that in diameter. Biggest obstruction is the end tube on the muffler. The internal baffling is a perforated core with packing surround. Overall looks like a very nice design for maximum flow.

Interesting about the springs. Glad to hear CSC is addressing the issue and has been up front and honest about it!
I requested the center stand to be installed prior to the Baja ride, so will have to see what happens with that!

Wow, I just realized I made the first post on page 200 of this thread.

ACE Hardware has a large selection of quality machinery springs if anyone is interested in sourcing a new spring themselves.
