Rear lower fender broke
Hi guys!
Don´t know if your CSC RX3 bikes have this "rear lower fender", but I´m sharing my experience just in case. A couple of days ago found this fender loose someway, even when the two bolts where properly torqued. After removing those bolts found the inner 3/8" pipes, that holds the plastic frame, where broken just after the soldered joints. Tomorrow will look for a welding shop to fix this. Regards, Juan Carlos.

Thank you for sharing that, Juan Carlos. The CSC bikes don't have that, but I have seen it on RX3 pictures from other countries.

Hmmm.... I know we've all read here before about dirt or something in the switch causing the stalling problem. I wonder if you had an exaggerated version of the same problem?

just replaced it (pulled the left side plates and lifted the tank to get to the plug) . Its just a 2 wire switch, in a bind you could put a toggle switch or twist the wires together if you were out on the road somewhere stuck. theres 2 bolts holding it in from the bottom.....mine was missing one. has 2 now.

Rear lower fender broke, part 2
Today got the repairings at the welding shop.
I´m not 100% satisfied with the job done ; will see how it performs in time. Probably next time I´ll try welding by myself Just applied a layer of Paint to avoid rusting: And set it back in place : Regards, Juan Carlos.
