This is very bad. Usually caliper bolts have loctite on to prevent this sort of thing happening. I would be very pissed off if something like this happened to me.

Hyosungs don't have loctited caliper carrier bracket bolts though they are machine tightened in the factory prior to dispatch. They are however removed during assembly from the crate to allow easy fitting of the front wheel to minimise the chance of damage or scuffing of the wheel etc.
Once assembled from the crate the bikes are supposed to go through a pre delivery check of all axillary items and fittings plus a road test to insure everything is doing what it is supposed too.

It sounds as if whoever assembled the bike from the crate hasn't done their job properly & whoever signed off the PD form hasn't done the mandatory checks

When doing the pre-intial ride check of my Zonga, found no loctite in evidence anywhere

Spent a good part of first day taking her to pieces and going over every bolt & nut there. Replaced a couple...

Speedo gave up the ghost in the first 100km and managed to get it under warranty (after trying a new speedo cable...)

Headlight had really dodgy plug on wires that shorted out if left on the wrong angle, so replaced that myself. Also the bolts holding the headlight on vibrate loose no matter what I do, just getting used to tightening it each time I come back in from a good ride!

Other than that, no major faults! But I imagine if I hadn't checked her over first, there could well have been similar probs in terms of loosening bolts etc...

Always pays to do pre-ride check, I even check the cage before taking it out (Dad was strict on this when I was learning... very similar to Police behicle check)

just got my new 2008 hyobag and took it over the coro loop today and the damn front left brake caliper come off :S the 2 bolts that hold it vibrated loose..... so much for thinking it just had crap brakes. Anyone else had anything like this happen?

did anyone need more proof that hyosungs are shit?

Remember this?

Hypocrite.

Hypocrite.

haha...
that was written when i was expecting it to be more shit than what it was, read my follow ups dude.
starter motor failed due to seals blowing.
all the instrumentation bulbs blew.
its got 40,000kms, so it must have been a good example.
the 'R sounds more shit than the GT
the handling and gearbox always sucked
but for the price and size, there aint much else
