about 15 days ago , usually several times when traffic is very dense and little progress has raised the temperature gauge to the fullest, I saw this bike turn off the switch of right handlebar control , and waited 3 stripes down again to start up again .

just today there was too much traffic, after walking a little over half an hour and stopping at a traffic light has once again raised the temperature gauge to the top.

I would like to know your comments on the matter and if this is normal.

Thanks Riders!

Check to see that both fans are working. I have had fans on other bikes quit because rocks or dirt clods were in the way.
Let us know when you find the problem and what the cure was.

Thank you

You are the one who made the statement regarding a 15 bike limit. I don't have to do your research for you.

We have a friendly atmosphere on these forums, and we are going to maintain it. You admit your parents didn't teach you good manners. However, you will be polite to everyone here, especially to the moderators, or you will leave, either voluntarily, or involuntarily. Take your pick.

Indeed! Spud already has an RX3, and he is enjoying it. He doesn't need to research special offers for someone else.

It was Oct. 21 or 22 NOT 30 days more like 20 or so days when that promo started. Local sales, show sales do not require shipping.

And hell any company has the right to change their minds on how many bikes to sell with free shipping anyways. If it did boost sales than why not keep it going making less money per bike but selling more bikes is a win. We are approaching the off season for motorcycle sales in many regions of the country.
Look how many furniture stores have going out of business sales for 20 years on end


All I know is I purchased my bike with free shipping just kidding around
And they are back logged getting bikes shipped out.

And notice no profanity or rudeness was used in this posting!

I read the blog and also had an email sent to me, that did state the following (cut and pasted from email):

"Free shipping for 15!

Whoa, what a deal! We’ve recently changed shipping companies to bring better prices to you, and as part of that new arrangement, we can ship our next 15 RX3s for free anywhere in the lower 48! This does not include Canada, Hawaii, or Alaska, but if you are in any of the other 48 states, our next 15 motorcycles are shipping for free!

It’s for 15 bikes only, folks. I’m anticipating the length of this offer is going to be measured on a wristwatch, not a calendar, so if you want to jump in, now’s the time!

If you’re in the lower 48, and if you want an RX3, act now!"

My only point to you is that " hell any company has the right to change their minds on how many bikes to sell with free shipping anyways. If it did boost sales than why not keep it going making less money per bike but selling more bikes is a win. We are approaching the off season for motorcycle sales in many regions of the country.

It does not mean sales are slow, I think maybe your questioning in the earlier post came across a little "troll like" not saying that is how you meant your comment. I hope you buy and enjoy one of these bikes eventually.

Just to add some facts to this recent dialogue...According to CSC my friend was sale number 13 of the 15 bike promo...and he called and bought bike less than 24 hours after the 15 bike promo went live. I'm pretty sure any moto dealer in the country would be elated with 15 bikes sold in a 24 hour period during slow season and maybe because of that success they extended the free shipping promo to other people as well. Definitely the opposite of a slow down though.

If anything sales of the RX3 will just increase as people who are lurking on the fence decide it's not going to self destruct in 1000 miles and realize it's a reliable fully equipped bike that will get you anywhere for 3500 dollars!

I totally agree.

Especially when they find out the price is going up in 2016

I think CSC is doing fine with sales. I think the positive posts are really making folks comfortable with the durability of the bike. And quite frankly, it's easy to wrench on (well, except the exhaust valve adjustment.) For those that don't mind getting their hands greasy, it's easy to really go through the bike and learn every bit about it. I sure as heck didn't do that with my CBR, Ducati ST3, or even the Tmax. (I did do that with the Vino 125 though.) CSC wanted to be a game-changer and I think they've done it with their approach.

Now... add a TT Special, or add a RC3? My wife is not going to be happy...

From today's CSC blog...Good sales are coming up for Black Friday on all kinds of RX3 and CSC Mustang parts and accessories. We’re not joking about that. The deals will be spectacular, so keep an eye on our website!

Thanks for posting the good information, Jim.

My bride to be has not said much to the idea of me doing something similar...but has told me flat out that if i get one she wants one of her own no matter what it is...mind you i did justify the idea of an RX3 or TT special as a cheap means of transportation....so that probably helped
