Damn....just ordered the exhaust two weeks ahead of schedule. Bad 2LZ....
Has anyone done a cross reference for different rear sprockets yet?

Similar results for me as well. Have had it off road on some NF trails at stock jetting at some pretty high altitudes. The stock tires have worked really well on the street, on rocky trails, and hard packed dirt road. Can't speak to sand or mud. Hit a little snow at 11,000 ft at one point. No rattles or missing bolts, parts, etc. Speedo cable is still entact for the moment. My speedo is indicating slow compared to actual GPS speeds by 10%. Currently at ~650km/~400 miles. Currently playing with main jets, needle clip for my elevation to find the best results. Just installed an iridium spark plug last night. Very interested to see how exhaust mods will pan out. I'll be getting a 15T counter sprocket at some point for trail/off road use.

Your elevations put a whole new twist on what we "average air" guys are doing. I'll be curious to see how you finally end up.

Per my experience, After break in when you are holding 5th gear high speed for long terms you will see mpg drop to 45mpg.

Once I get some minor stuff nailed down, I can tell this bike is going to be tons of fun!!
I read of some people saying they had issues with the brakes, but so far mine have been just fine (knock on wood). I noticed when I rode it the day before yesterday that it was starting to loosen up and have more power.

On Saturday and Sunday I have a muffler and a pair of aluminum tusk hand guards and a new fuel line and fillter to install
man I just love this bike I have had zero problems so far and that is why I have invested in the mods I have got I think this bike is worth the extra money if it hade 20 hp it would rock hard

My brakes pulsate as I come to a stop. Don't feel like I abused them during breakin.

Perhaps you should abuse them a bit! Hah, but seriously, a standard method for bedding in new brakes is to use them hard a few times (slowing all the way down from road speed fairly rapidly) then letting them cool for several minutes, then repeating those two steps several times. This forces the pads and rotors to conform if there are any irregularities.

Yeah, basically. From what I understand (limited though it may be), as you apply more force than is necessary, you'll wear the pads down to match the rotor's irregularities, and repeating this several times essentially condenses the process from something that would take lots of miles of normal braking to something easier to manage, leaving you with better brakes in case of emergency.

RX3 were having issues with pulsing front brakes. We had some minor pulsing on our RX3 which are pretty much gone now after some good bedding in and mileage. The culprit for the most part turned out to be improperly torqued front rotors. The simple fix was to remove the rotor, and re-installing by tightening in a criss-cross pattern and torquing to spec. In a few instances the rotor did vary in thickness causing the pulsing in which case CSC shipped out new rotors. Rojo
