Hyosung GT250 UK recall (2003/2004 models)

[Dodger]

Thought I would post this here as I haven't seen any other info.
This is a UK recall from last year, but may be worth while for owners of 2003/2004 Hyosung GT250's to keep an eye on it.

They only started bringing in Hyobags in early 2006, my mate was the first owner of a GT250R in NZ 2005 model.

Meh, doesn't look too bad. You could fix that with some wire and a big hammer easy.

[riffer]

Doesn't look half as dangerous as the problems with the new Aprilia RSVR's...


Looks like that bike's been pushed hard.

Loss of directional control? That's a fuppin understatement if ever I heard one.:eek5:

Here's the quote for someone that had it happen, doesn't seem like it was to catastrophic. still not something I would like to experience 1/2 way around a corner. :shit:



My swingarm has torn itself apart at the shock mount. My bike had
seemed to be sitting a little lower and I could hear some rubbing when
going over big bumps, so I thought it might be the shock. Instead, it
turns out the mount was ripping out of the arm. I was 40km from home
when I noticed it.

My bad I thought you were only referring to GT250R's.

Bugger ! :shit:

When's their proper 600 or 1000 coming out?

Mate of mine works for a bike mechanic / repairer. He's seen one of these come in and couldnt believe it. The guy reckoned he just went over a curb and the back end dropped right down. :eek5:

Supposedly the build quality issues have been greatly improved since those earlier models, but i just dont know eh...

This is the think a proper allow japbike of the modern day could be ridden averyday for 30 years and this stuff wouldn't happen...

within 8 years every hyosung around now will be scrap.

Meh don't pay attention to him. His so-called reliable Japanese motorcycle shat itself and now all he has is a pile of bits.

At least your supposed `pile-of-junk' Hyosung still goes, even if there's one disqualified rider who doesn't like it :laugh:

That looked nasty. The amount of corrosion on the inside of the thing would worry anyone with a right mind.
