Please find another page of trouble shooting of engine stall named “Adjusting of valve clearance of RX3”.
Impression of RX3 after 7,500 km mileage.(One year has passed on Dec.31, 2016)
1) After around over 5,000km mileage, engine stall has occurred sometimes
while running at any gear position. Frequency of engine stall is 3 or 4 times for
one day riding for around 200km.
2) Regarding feeling of gear changing, it has still been hard to find neutral
position.

Changing touch is stiff and it is not smoothly also. I recommend Zongshen to
improve gearchanging touch.

1) Accuracy of mounting brackets for pannier cases are not good so that some
minute adjustment is necessary.

2) Steering angle is a little bit narrow.
3) Seat position is a little bit higher and center of gravity is as well because of

parts are a little bit worse than other makers, I feel.

7) Regarding LCD display, I feel displayed digital speed is around 10km ahead.
I am now asking Zongshen about this problem.

9) High wind shield, total 98L capacity of top case and two panniers, 12V cigar

10) Engine condition is getting better after 1,000km mileage.
Fuel consumption is over 31km/l so that cruising distance is 500km for one
time refueling.

11) This engine is high rotation type ( max torque is 7,000r.p.m ) so that
it is necessary to keep turning engine.

12) Alternator power of RX3 is 300W, normally usage power is 160W.
Therefore 140W is available for other accessories. This is very excellent
design as a adventure bike.

13) Document or service manual is not optimum and not latest. It seems
version management is a little bit poor. Maintenance torque value is minimum
on the manual. There is small description of metal and rubber gasket
maintenance interval on manual.
Therefore, I edited Japanese user manual by reference to third party’s
manual.(^0^;

14) Maintenance parts like oil filter, air filter and gaskets and so on have already
reached in around one month after purchase order. In general, Zongshen’s
feed back for user’s request is reasonable.

15) Front tire rim size is 18, and rear rim size is 15 tubeless depends on my
request, but compatible tubeless rear tire 15 may not exist except Cheng shin.
I might have to consider tube tires setting in near future.

After all, touch of riding, performance, serviceability and cost are pretty good,
satisfactory and enough for long touring, I want to keep this.

In addition to above, it is estimated no one has this RX3 in Japan,
then there is pleasure to spread this bike in Japan as a pioneer.(^0^;
