just so I understand - you had to dremel/modify your hand guard mounts a hair to fit inside the 1/2" hole? |

My hand guard mounts that go in the bar ends were 5/8" diameter so I put them in a metal lathe (I'm a machinist) and turned them down to 1/2". A dremel would of taken fooooreeeeeveeer . I took very little material out of the handlebars, just enough to make the hole round with a 1/2" drill bit. rj

It keeps raining in East Idaho. Nevertheless, I finally managed to ride some single track on Sunday with my CRF250X.
I also got to ride my RX3 on Memorial Day. The RX3 needs a shift lever with a folding tip. I ordered such a lever for the NC250 engine from Taobao. However, while awaiting its arrival, I discovered the shift lever from my Zongshen Sierra 200 also fits the RX3 shift shaft.

Searching Taobao is just like riding; the more you do it, the better you get. Since the gear shifter is part of the engine, you can search Taobao for 'NC250 T6,' and find a lot engine parts.

Thanks for the good report regarding the shift lever.

Any one know how to defeat the locks on the standard luggage so you don't have to use the keys every time opening and closing and just leave them unlocked? Many times I just go across town to get groceries and it's a pain to have to lock and unlock lids for short distances. rj

Defeating locks
This is so easy even I can do it. Just remove the screws that secure the latch plate, (on the lid, not the box body). Remove the plate and store it for future use. I've done that on my muffler side box for exactly the reason you noted. Quick access to little odds and ends like a red rag I put around the gas tank to keep small drops of gas off my tank when filling, an inspection mirror for checking oil level, and a cheap cable lock to secure my jacket and helmet on the bike during errands.
Without the lock, there is a slim chance the latches might pop open, but they seem pretty secure to me. Just be sure the box is fully closed and the latches are snapped down. Last edited by NoVa Rider; 05-27-2015 at 06:28 PM. |

NoVa Rider, I hadn't thought of that. I guess I was wondering if there was a way to be able to get the key out in the unlocked position but still have the lock available to lock it when needed. I know I don't ask for much, rj

You're right RJ. It would be much more convenient if you could toggle the lock itself.
