RC3 instrumentation…

We’re well into the new RC3’s service manual preparation, and I thought I would share a few preliminary photos with you.

The RC3 dash is completely digital (except for the indicator lights), and you can adjust it to three different shades.  I like the red best…

Blue is cool, too…

You can also change it to the plain OD green sort of background with black letters.   The RC3 dash has a number of cool features, including the ability to adjust brightness.  The dash includes readouts for total mileage, trip mileage, temperature, time, speed, fuel, engine rpm, and gear.  Another cool feature is the ability to record the max velocity attained on a ride…

The above are all in kilometers (this was our preproduction bike for CARB and EPA testing), so the number you see above is in kilometers per hour.  You can do the math, though.

The RC3 includes as standard equipment our 300-watt alternator (just like our RX3 and TT250), the underseat handlebar accessories outlets (with handlebar mounted Off-A1-A2 switchgear, just like our RX3 and TT250), and dash mounted additional power outlets (one in the USB configuration with a 5V feed for charging your iPhone, the other in a standard cigarette lighter 12V configuration).

Things are happening fast here, folks.   I leave for the China expedition in less than a week.   I’m excited.  It’s going to be a hoot.
