Yes, it requires less than a minute to loosen the 4 bolts and remove the stock skid plate.

Yes, I trimmed the extra aluminum which extends toward the windshield. I used my angle grinder.

Yes, you need the 1-1/8" risers. I bought the 30mm Tusk risers.

Lots of individual posts. (I've linked a lot of mine in my signature.) But we don't have a 'What have you done to your RX3 today?' post. Maybe we should start one.

rjmorel · 04-08-2016, 09:41 PM

I think a gallery of just our bikes would be cool too, rj

That's a good idea, amigo.

I started that thread at the following link. I hope people enjoy contributing to it.

There are many threads on different modification topics. Rather than read this entire megathread, I suggest you look over the entire list of threads in this forum, and read those which interest you. This is a great way to learn a lot quickly about your new RX3. Of course, we are always happy to answer any questions you might have, as well.

That is an excellent idea, gentlemen.

I started a thread containing an RX3 photo gallery/modifications list at the following link. I hope people enjoy contributing to it.

hi all please upload more rx3 videos to youtube,right now i ride keeway tx200 planing to upgrade

Lee R · 04-12-2016, 06:56 PM

Aziz,

I'll have another Youtube video soon, two of use are working on getting some video this weekend with a pair of RX3's. What did you want to see?

aziz · 04-13-2016, 07:50 AM

hi lee, I would like video of general riding and some overtake,could it easily do 120kph?

Eco Mouse · 04-13-2016, 04:26 PM

It won't overtake much, unfortunately. But it will barely do 74mph. I've changed the sprocket set-up to 13t/45t and it's got more power in all the gears, and can get up to speed much quicker on the streets. However, I feel most cars can out accelerate me from a stop light if they were trying to.

The only downside to the sprocket change is 67mph seems to be the maximum sweet spot, before it gets too buzzy, and well into redline. Which relegates me to backroads and city streets, instead of the interstate. Here in the U.S. 80 to 85mph is the common freeway running speed. The Cyclone is not geared, or powerful enough for that.
