New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[linuxyeti]

OK, well, got to use the RX3 for what I got it for, riding in crap weather, at motorway speeds, a feat which I accomplished very comfortably this morning.

Oh, and I still haven't hit the stalling issue, all that I can put that down to is, it's fully run in, with 2000miles on the clock and/or it's the fact that I let it warm up for a min or 2 first thing, either way the wind and rain this morning didn't cause any problems

So any word yet on the adjustable front forks that come on the 2016s? Or are you guys having too much fun riding your new bikes to play with the adjustments yet? rj

Mine came in, I rode it home in the rain. Then it got cold and there is now snow on the ground.

Congratulations, and welcome to The Cult of The Zong.

Actually, there are now 326 pages. However, you have 4 weeks to read all of it.

Hi there

I got my reuseable ones from Tabao, via an agent. You can also get the original ones from there as well. If you're in the states, why not uses csc anyhow?

hoping another bike used them also. have HD, and the big 4 in town. just hoping to pick up local if I needed.

I've looked, too.

It's not your average filter.

I bought a 6 pack from CSC when I ordered the bike.

Well, having time to heal and get acquainted with the new metal in my leg has given me time to read the entire thread. I've learned a lot, and haven't seen most of the bickering prevalent on the "other" ADV site, which is refreshing. As I solidify my order I have a couple of questions...is the aftermarket skidplate worth the extra expense and hassle (related to oil changes) or is the stock one sturdy and protective enough to run mild off road on? Second, What is the latest on handguards? I want the wrap around kind, like Moose or Tusk. I can ream out the bar for the inserts, but do they still hit anything plugged into the accessory outlet? Would 1/2 or 1" risers work to avoid hitting my charger if it's plugged in ? Anything new on the front with them? I'd get the CSC ones, but it's not the protection I need from a drop.
Lastly, I heard the orange is a different shade than the '15's with UV resistance...correct? I want the orange I am trying to time my shipment for when I am bipedal again.

I kept the stock skid plate.

I installed Tusk D-Flex hand guards, and Tusk handlebar risers. I also trimmed the ends of the handguards. Therefore, I do have clearance between the hand guards and the power accessory outlets.
