Yup. I thought this this starting problem was caused either by my battery or the spark plug. Both have evidence: I lost some mysterious odorless fluid at one point during my trip which could have...

Sorry for the late reply to this. I've learned from another RX3 owner that there is an upgraded version of the rear tire. I got the bike pretty soon after it was released so I probably have the old...

I got the japanese bearings in Kyrgyzstan. I'm sure there are plenty of non-chinese bearings on taobao. I didn't lengthen the axel tube myself. I think the guy just welded a bit of metal to the end...

I realized I didn't write about the solutions to a couple of the problems I mentioned earlier.

The shifting problem, where it wouldn't go up to 2nd gear very easily was solved by tightening the...

After 25,000km, I still like mine. I'm still using it and it made it to Turkey without any major issues. 250cc was definitely enough in China. In terms of ride quality, I don't feel unstable going as...

I'll check the cable. I haven't adjusted that in a while. You reminded me that someone once adjusted that when I complained of this problem before. Its actually not new but before I could get it up...

Ahh yea i get that sound when my chain is loose even with the new DID chain. Its good to hear you solved yours so easily.

So now I have a terribly difficult time shifting to 2nd from first while...

Yeah, I know full well about chinese products by now. Let me think... At this point, the only major piece of equipment i have that was bought in China that hasn't broken in an unusual way is the...

I'm glad someone else has mentioned this. That pretty well describes how my sound started out. You might think there were little pieces of metal spinning around in the engine somewhere. For me,...

Im at the end of China near the Khorgas border with Kazakhstan with about 13000km total on the bike. So far on the trip I have no actual major issues to report. The chain is shot and my replacement...

So Im just about one week in and am taking a day break in Xi'an. The RX3 survived a pretty heavy rain storm around Wuhan unscathed while my iphone in its "waterproof" case didn't fare so well.

It...

I think I've finally solved that noise problem. Recently a few other noises cropped up that definitely were caused by loose bolts so while searching for the culprits I found a few missing bolts on...

I thought the noise was caused by the same thing (some issue with the EFI causing a timing issue). THe other day i went and had it tested by a more professional mechanic and he didn't find anything...

It only happens when accelerating under load at around 5500rps and 60 kmh. I think I know what sound you're thinking of and its not that. Backfiring right? That happens occasionally but not often...

Thanks! I've been riding for about 6 months now... There have been a couple close calls. The local police started cracking down on unlicensed riders a few months ago and started putting up road...

Good idea. But i think I'll have another shop do that. Its running fine now. The popping sound is still there and neutral is harder to find and it has jumped out of neutral a couple times now but Im...

Passed! But I'm not the only one who should be recognized. It was a group effort. I have to thank the police woman who helped me through the whole process and translated for me today. Couldn't have...

I've read that you have to have 90 days left on your visa but there might be a gray area.. I started the full license process with about 100 days left on my residency visa, my visa expires July 1st...

Definitely has an oil filter... I got the same response from pretty much everyone i spoke to about it. Its under the oil window and towards the front. there are two nuts securing it and theres a 6 or...

So its been a while since I wrote an update on the mechanical problems I've been having. Its been nearly two months since these problems began and the bike has been in the shop almost the entire...

I had a pretty similar experience in Zhuji actually. I only had an expired car license from the US but I was able to convince the translator that it included motorcycles. The woman looked at that...

I know that about the mechanic... They lost my confidence a long time ago and now I'm starting to really get angry with them. Another favorite line of mine was said when i visited the bike while it...

I got the bike back with the new TPS installed but now there's a new problem that i hope someone can provide some insight on.

Here's what I've noticed so far: I can't get the bike to rev past...

ZMC. That seems to be the conclusion the guy at the shop came to too. The electrical part that he removed and said needed to be replaced translated as the "throttle controller." Im definitely going...

Yeah it has an EFI and they used a power washer. It is under warranty and so far they havent charged me for anything including oil.
This was my first thought too, some kind of short in the EFI, as...
