[kz1000st]

Listen, All Manufacturers make mistakes. My 2000 Kawasaki W650 had a tail light/directional assembly mounted unsupported on a thin steel fender. The vibration started the fender to crack on both sides. I had to drill ugly holes in front of the cracks to stop it from spreading or else the whole thing would have torn and fallen off. Vespas? Read up on the broken valves, burned undersize high current connections under the seat and fuel pump recall. Even the scooters not on the recall suffered from swelling impellers and failure. The Honda Helix, the most reliable scooter in the world, suffered from dried and breaking intake manifolds. The last editions came with support brackets....in about 2001 onwards. No recall for cracking manifolds running the engine lean and burning valves on the scooters built from 1986 until then.

Trust me, your RX3 will reveal an inadequacy sooner or later. They all do. Watch something stupid like unsealed brake light switches rust the return springs and fail like they did on my 1979 KZ1000.

BTW, I don't even know if there's a boot on my headlight bulb. In 7 years it hasn't given me trouble, unlike the $8,000 Vespas with toasted fuel pumps built at the same time.

More money doesn't always mean better. Sometimes it just means more expensive repairs.

This will be my next DP bike.
