Hey, has anyone seen a good rear hugger for a Hyo?

I'm looking for a carbon fibre one... Are there any that are available locally? Cheers DJ

**Gubb** · 19th May 2008, 16:37

These guys do 'em.

Expensive though, NZ$178 for the Painted one, and NZ$330 for the Carbon Fiber model. Plus Postage.

I'm selling my GT250R tail tidy if any one from the Wellington region is intrested in buying it. Very easy to install, only need to drill two holes and cut/join a wire. $60 and if the installation is a bit beyond you, I can help.

You selling other parts from the bike, or as a complete unit?

I'm keen on the rear sets if they are available.

**Weaver** · 21st May 2008, 19:50

Na, thats all I got left

what happened to yours? scraping pegs

**Gubb** · 21st May 2008, 22:34

Nah, from the first crash I had, I made a budget home replacement job which i'm pretty happy with, but I figured if a cheap set was going...

Can you post a pic or an explanation of how you fixed your rearsets?

I already managed to brake a brake lever and bend another one, broke the right rearset and footpeg twice as well.

It's like these things are made of pudding.

Do you guys reckon a pair of aftermarket rearsets would hold up better in a crash?

Totally n00b question here -

Where are the cams on the Hyo, what do they do, and where would the rattle be coming from if it was them?

Thank you for helping to increase my mechanical knowledge

You should find a parts manual for your bike and you will see where everything it.

The rattle comes from a slack camshaft drive chain, or worn shims, or any number of other little things.

The cams are under the cover on the top of the cylinder heads.

They open and close the cylinder valves to allow air/fuel in, and exhaust out, at the correct times.

ok have removed said wire myself too
since i have bought my bike i have noticed this lag as i would put it.
I think it was just my confidence increasing that made me notice this lag from 5k to 6k more and more but i was going to mention it at my next service as i was thinking it may have been a fault.
After reading this thread i now think otherwise.
but now that i have removed it i have not had the chance to ride

which is very unsettling as i like to test modifications

as any red bloded biker would
