I like how the entire cluster is mounted to the frame, but the igntion is mounted to the steering.

Since this will not be the agressive dual sport style that you're accustomed to, I suspect that the 18" front wheel will meet your needs nicely. It really is a nice blend of dual sport, adventure bike and SM.

I looked at the link, and the cam also appears to have a ramp that is typical of automatic decompressor devices. That would be good to know for sure.

I wonder if the rear shock is also equipped with a schraeder valve for charging with Nitrogen.

![]() I'm going to use Mobil, Delvac 15W/40 engine oil, just as I do in my Zongshen ZS200GY-2, Honda XR650L, and Honda CRF250X. You might enjoy reading the following articles on motor oil. ![]() http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Consumables.html#Oil Rather than two oil pumps, I suspect the oil pump probably has two chambers, as with the oil pump in my Honda XR650L. However, I haven't seen any photos of the RX3 oil pump...yet. ![]() http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...73&ns=1#detail The engine does employ both a coarse oil filter, and a fine oil filter. The coarse oil filter seems to be a reusable, stainless steel mesh. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...15&ns=1#detail The fine oil filter is available in both stainless steel, and paper element forms. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...61&ns=1#detail http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...23&ns=1#detail The coarse oil filter is located in front of the fine oil filter, and both are accessed by bolts on the right crankcase. ![]() Quote:

I also see a slot on the underside of the camshaft, which makes me suspect this cam utilizes a decompression system similar to that of my Honda CRF250X. ![]()

![]() I've been thinking the same thing about upgrading the forks on my ZS200GY-2 with the RX3 forks. ![]() ![]() However, the lower fork guards for the RX3 forks aren't designed for a dirt bike. If they have the same dimensions, I think the ZS150GY-10 forks would have the same travel, and be a better candidate for such a conversion. Also, one probably has to convert to the front wheel designed for the forks, and the 21-inch front wheel of the ZS150GY-10 is a much better choice for a dirt bike. ![]() http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...79&ns=1#detail http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...91&ns=1#detail http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...43&ns=1#detail
