Hyosung - stalled stand

[neilwgtn]

Hi all - happy new year.
Just something for those new like myself regarding the Hyosung.
I went for a ride along the hutt motorway during the festive season and all of a sudden the bike lost revs... then they came back and then disappeared again.. very scary stuff when your trying to pass cages. Then the revs died and didnt sart again... had to pull over.. finally got it to TSS and they knew straight away what the problem was..
My stand switch was stuck and kept thinking it was down...
A known problem and the lube from the chain can cause this to happen.
1. check your stand - keep it clean from chain lube.
2. TSS were great - checked the bike and fixed the problem straight away - didnt book in and they looked pretty busy - well done.

something i know for the future... its a learning world... :-)

Thanks for the heads up...

I've heard lots about the stand being an issue... is there anyway to disconnect the stand turn off thingie?

[neilwgtn]

yep.. thats what they did.. and said i can go and get a new switch fitted when i want.. but i dont think i'll ever forget to put the stand up and would prefer the bke not to stall in the future..
other than that i've had the bike for a year and not one problem..

I used to have a problem when it rained and washed it, water would go under the pillon seat and blow the fuse, had to seal it and never a fault again. Just thought i'd let you know so in case that happened again. Cos when that happened it'd lose revs and start to die and ride really shit.
Peace out

TSS are great. I like Stu and the boys there. Hyosung is def an up and coming brand (7 8ths of the way there already) small problems that are minor and seldom so that good, I would recommend people buy from TSS as they know their stuff.
Also for people with older TL1000R's just to let you know that recently I had a problem with my poor bike not wanting to start. checked a ton of different avenues before going for the obvious (actually bike led me to believe there are a number of problems but none related to starting)
Check your clutch engage switch and file the contacts periodically.
Wasnt cool having to jump start the bike (B+ ----> Starter) because of corroded switches.
also a hint some may want to block or disconnect the tip over switch.
Had another problem with that. Would rather my bike start then risk it thinking it was lying down and turning the fuel pump off on me.

hope this can help someone

Hi.
Now I know it is going back a few years, my Hyo is doing the same thing. Do you know how they disconnected it? Did they rip the whole thing out, or snip a wire?

Thanks

Hey mate. Did this just the other week to mine as it was having the same issue. the switch was full of gunk and crap so decides to remove it completely.

The small metal bracket that holds the stand also houses the kickstand killswitch on the inside. you should see 2 small screws/bolts holding it on.

remove these screws and switch should hang by just a thick black wire.

Cut the wire near the switch and you see two seperate wires housed inside the black insulation.

strip both of these wires back and twist the exposed metal cores together, completing the circuit.

then wrap the end of the wire in sparky tape making sure that there is no way any water/road crap can get inside.

pull the cable taught and use 1 or 2 cable ties to secure the wire to the frame of the bike.

crack open a beer and get your misus to make you a sandwich!

by the way, it makes it a hell of a lot easier if you take the left side fairing off first unlike me bieng a stubborn bugger and taking it off when i was nearly finished the job!!

shouldnt take more than 15 minutes if you are familiar with how to remove your fairings (and put them back on!!)

Well done you for staying safe, and well done TSS for getting it fixed!

See you back on the road :niceone:
