What's the warranty period on a Hyosung?

I've always been interested in the outcome of going a manufacturer when you are outside the warranty period. Under the CGA, goods must last for a reasonable period of time.

you have a very good point...worth investigating ,y options under the CGA if they dont come through?
warranty on th '07 is 12 months. then hyosung nz found out the rest of the world were offering 24 months, so in april '08, they upped it to 24months...

To my mind, 12 months (or 24 for that matter) is not a reasonable amount of time for a motorcycle engine to last.

Talk to the mechanic. See if he comes to the party. If not, talk to Hyosung.

Unfortunately you wont know for sure until the tear down. A comparison with the other bearings and the general internal engine condition will probably reveal the cause. A real bummer though, especially with such low Km's.

At least you made it to 20,000kms!

Hyosung "Hand-Grenade" GT250R

The front Piston had blown, taking the Conrod and Crankshaft with it. I have owned the bike for 13 months, and done a touch over 17,000kms. The Warranty period is for 12 months and 10,000kms.

Engine transplant?

Does seem odd that the big end has gone, if it was oil starvation or low level/pressure I would have thought the top end would suffer first.

First, exhaust all your options with the dealer and/or importer, and then if you are completely stuck, buy that motor and PM me and we'll sort you out.

realistically if it is as major as the intial diagnosis suggests and you have no joy with warranty repairs, then do as Gubb did, and kick it to the curb.

20,000 k's is nothing, and for an engine to fail and then become consumers problem is fuckin ludicrous

that did the same thing(big end)and i dont know many people with them so maybe its one of the poorly designed things on them
