I installed a SpeedoDRD from 12 O'Clock Labs to correct the highly 'optimistic' reading from the speedometer of my Zongshen RX3. I like this speedometer corrector very much, and I am pleased I purchased it. If you like, you can read my installation thread at the following link.

Hi all, is there any guide for installing the big box? The one with the seat.

If you installed the rubber grommets and washers, you should not hear any noise from the trunk.

In the past, I have had "rumbling" from the box as it is not a tight fit onto the rubber buffers on the holding rack. My solution was to stick hard foam strips under the box so that you have to firmly "force" the box onto the locking mechanism. I started with two pieces either side of the box 5mm thick, tried thicker, but it would not compress enough. The 5mm (quarter inch approx) rubber foam worked.
I stuck it on the box and not the rack mount so that it wasn't visible when riding with the box off. The foam I used was the hard to compress type. It was black high density, not the type of foam from a bath sponge or disk scrubber. Hard to describe, but I hope you get the idea. Jeff

I finally measured how much fuel it took to cover the fuel pump. Starting with a completely dry empty tank filled to cover pump while on center stand. It took just over 1 quart or little less than 1.5 liters to cover pump.
Now the extra fluid recommended by the factory can be for increased thermal capacity of more fluid, or complete immersion while fluid is sloshing around. Either way there will be a lot of useable fuel after the gauge shows empty especially on smooth roads.

Thanks for measuring, and sharing that information, Jim. I have always thought the Zongshen engineers were being very cautious and overly conservative with the full gallon specification.

My old XT225 sold over the past weekend, so I pulled the trigger on the RX-3 this afternoon.
They were out of my preferred color (white) but really talked up the blue (Orange is too KTM for me anyway. . .). They expect it'll ship out on Friday. I had them throw in the 19" front wheel and center stand too. Can't wait. . . Cheers, Dan K.

Welcome and congrats on the new RX3 Dan. You'll enjoy the Cyclone as it is a great little bike. Be sure and check oil, coolant levels before riding. My coolant showed the normal 1/2 in the overflow tank but was way down in the radiator. Rode it that way for 300 miles before taking radiator cap off and checking. Checked it several times as it took a while to get coolant over into the second radiator and back around to fill it up to the cap neck. rj
