Is it just me or does anyone else find it a little annoying that the side stand doesn't stay down on its own? Maybe I'm too used to my BMW but that does have an idiot switch.

Can anyone with an RX3 confirm if there is a hole in the triple tree suitable for a triple lift like this one?

If it has a pin hole, size is the next question, if anyone knows how to measure it.

Don't have calipers handy but a quick check with measuring tape puts it at about 15mm.

Does this look right to you? I suspect not. I'm sure the CSC guys would have sorted out any issues like this before shipping theirs but this RX3 came straight from the Zongshen factory.

I left my bike at my office today because it started raining/sleeting...I'll look tomorrow, and let you know, but that doesn't look familiar to me.

Your side stand is different from the one we received in the United States. My side stand employs one spring, and it doesn't have the crescent-shaped piece of metal. Also, the mounting pins for the spring are in different locations. I think forum member Katflap, in England, has a side stand similar to yours, and he modified it to make it work. If you search this thread for his post, you can find his solution. I don't have any problems with the side stand on my RX3 which was delivered to the United States.
