I know some early RX3's in USA had faulty batteries, be working fine one day and dead the next. Is your battery stock and did any lights come on? The battery would be the first thing I check. I think it's fairly common for Chinese bikes to have bad batteries, I suspect the batteries plates get damaged from shipping. Under the seat at the back is the fuel pump relay and 2 fuses. The bigger fuse is the main fuse the smaller is the fuel pump fuse. That's the second place I'd look for issues.

Recent Trip to Sharda <> JhalKad (Himalaya)
The total offroad very high altitude track b/w the remote town Sharda in Himalaya to Jhalkad another remote town in Karakorum connects to large mountain ranges...
The Carby bikes went all breathless at high altitude... I on other had did not had any issue with oxygen but I was exhausted in off-road due to weight I was carrying and RX3 being itself quite bulky and heavy... received some more pics from a rider who went along.. sharing with riders here..

vickytulla , wow, your really putting your RX3 through its paces. Very beautiful area you were riding in. I think most of us dream about riding where you guys went.
Good to hear the RX3 managed it well. I think water crossings can effect any bike if water gets into where it shouldn't. Stay safe and enjoy the freedom your RX3 gives you. I know I do, RJ

I originally made this thread because in start I did not expected from a ADV bike to perform or keep up with Dirt Bikes and dual sports...
But later on I realized that keeping up or atleast staying behind them on offroads was a good compromise when I was the fastest cruising and comfortable in long High way stretches which we have to cover untill we see mountains... Also I also learnt that ADV bike requires different type of handling then a dirt bike or a daul sports... I followed few of the videos from Clinton Smout and Tylor from "everRide" (they guy who actually hates RX3) but is an amazing offroader.. RX3 gives excellent top speed in 250cc category, and I am using a 13T front sprocket to keep up with daul sports in offroads as well. I get best mileage and never found it getting suffocated in highest peaks and mountain passes of Himalaya. i did got a bad patch of experience when its feul pump went dead... but now its back again... its going good (Y) Quote:

took out ride for the last time... Summer is Finished..
There was a Huge Car rally and on last minute they invited 250cc and above category to Join in too (and I had spare holidays) Oh Yeah!!
it was a round trip of around 900Km and was lot of fun due to the fact that almost every one joined in as almost every biker wanted to have some ride out in Autumn..

Final Drive front Sprocket... EATEN and chewed
So; due to alot of offroading included in this year summer I replaced the front sprocket to 13T instad of stock 14T...
On the way back from this tour I was some what 400kms from my home city when I noticed chain skipped few tooths on heavy accelration... I thought may be the chain is very loose I might check it on next refueling stop.. so on next refueling stop I saw this.... I was freaked out and thought I might have to get it loaded on some truck... becuase the sprocket had alsmot no tooth... on my return I got it replaced back to stock sprocket... the mechnic suggestd it got chewed due to very low quality... thanks to Aliexpress.com from where I bought it.....
