Here's a pdf download link for a compete list of parts available with images for the RX3.
**Though it looks very similar to the parts listings on the CSC website, It is actually for the carb version in Malaysia.** That said, I think it is still a very useful source of information. http://www101.zippyshare.com/v/ooXYt0vT/file.html Direct link to the pdf http://ktn.com.my/documents/KTNS%20R...%20CATALOG.pdf Last edited by katflap; 05-30-2016 at 01:31 PM. |

I went to this website and clicked on the info tab because I wanted to know what a .rar file was. That put me to a flashing warning page that said something about contacting Microsoft immediately, and which would not let me close the page normally. It stunk on malware and ransomware. I shut down my computer right away.

It sounds like you have some ransomeware that was installed. If you have another browser (Chrome, Firefox instead of Internet Explorer), you can open one of those browsers and I recommend downloading the free AVG antivirus application. They do a great job of staying current and it should find and eliminate that malware. Plus... AVG is free. I switched to iMacs and OS X to avoid the many viruses and malware out there. I do have a Windows partition, but if anything were to happen, I can recover using OS X. Thankfully AVG has kept me "clean." |

ook the RX3 out for an early morning ride to Silverado Canyon. (First RX3 to Silverado Canyon?) Unfortunately the trail head leading to Santiago Peak was closed, but I rode around some of the roads at the bottom of the canyon. I got into some deep gravel and that got a little sketchy. Thankfully the RX3 is light and balanced, so easy to keep upright.
I forgot to reset the trip display on the Garmin Nuvi, but the top speed for the day was 81.8 mph (GPS measured.) This was sitting full upright (no tuck), and flat out at near-sea level and on a flat highway. I'm running a 42 tooth rear gear which drops the RPMs below redline at top speed. The stock gearing (44T rear sprocket) took me beyond redline, but I achieved an 84.1 mph top speed. Different day, different conditions, but that not withstanding, I'd prefer to stay out of redline.

zippyshare is normally not too bad for these problems. I have now added a direct link to my original post and here http://ktn.com.my/documents/KTNS%20R...%20CATALOG.pdf this shouldn't give you any problems and you can read it or download it directly from your browser |

Motorcycle.com just published their review of the RC3. Overall, it's favorable, but somewhat twitchy handling turned off a few of the reviewers.
Oddly, they found the shifting notchy, which has not been my experience with my RX3, even when new. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...c3-review.html

I think the RC3 is going to be in for a struggle vs the competition for sport bikes. Discounted Ninja 250/300, CBR 250/300, Yamaha R3, even Duke 390's are all out there for 3500-5000 dollars in large quantity's. With shipping/fees your looking at 3275 for the RC3 right now. It's REALLY easy to find a CBR300 for that price very lightly used that will have little depreciation from the point that you begin using it. I think the Naked version would sell better at 2500 dollars myself. Really only the 300F to compete with then.
The RX3 has no direct competition right now. If Honda dropped a 250/300cc Africa Twin for 5000 do you think people would still pick the 725 dollar cheaper RX3 at that point ? A Yamaha 321cc Tenere would also be very hard to compete against. For now those brands don't want to bring anything like that, probably so they don't restrict sales of the higher profit larger bikes selling to those who would be fine with a 300 instead. |

Lee, I believe that the Big 3 cannot get within $1K of CSC on any size bike. CSC is running such a lean operation they have a huge advantage. The challenge is going to be the fact that Zong owners are going to have to be much more hands on than those with a strong dealer network. Add in the fact that our Zongs require more frequent valve adjustments. Anyone afraid to wrench on the bike will pay more for the Japanese product.

My 2016 shifting, with only 160 miles mind you, is notchy as well but I'm confident if will smooth out with use and trying different oils as I go. The overall performance on the tranny is great .....especially with the 13T switch.

I have no complaints about my 2015 and it only has 120 on it. I can even find neutral most of the time from 1st. I guess I'm just used to big gear boxes from big displacement bikes that go "WHAM!" when you put them in gear.

If I did not already own my DRZ, I'd almost certainly get an RC3 as it would have met my needs well and there is basically no competition. The RC3 has a lot of competition, and the other bikes are ALSO very inexpensive (in the big picture). I've seen less than year old KTM 390's in the high $3,000 range and it took all my restraint (not much there, mind you) to not get one.
