Hyosung fails again

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

When you can't afford Italian you buy American.
If you can't afford American you can buy British.
When you can't afford British you buy Japanese.
If you can't afford Japanese you buy Korean.
If you have no self respect whatsoever.....you buy Chinese

I can afford the duke, just can't afford to ride it...

when you want it to start and run reliably for 80000k you dont buy a duke
or an american HD
You go get a nice Jappa

There seems to be a hell of a lot of people who think that gloating about top speed makes you a good rider, good enough that you know more about bikes than the people who made it. Perhaps, being that you know quality better than Hyo, you should found your own motocycle manufacturing firm?

[FLYMO]

sounds to me like the owner of the bike is defective and not the bike
if it was made to me on its side they would have put caster wheels on it for u
got some old training wheels here if ya want them

[Metalor]

Haha, this thread is making want to touch myself....

You obviously smashed the hyosung up pretty bad man, maybe it's time to cut your losses and get somerthing a bit more forgiving... like a gn?

:P

why does my hyofighter have trouble geting into N !?

It's common with them mate.. As you pull up click it into neutral from 2nd while you are still rolling. You'll find it's much easier than pulling to a stop then trying to find neutral.

It can be that the clutch needs adjusting or the oil needs changing.


The other option is do lots of ks then it becomes much better!!!!

Mine is a bitch as well - when I start it up in the mornings I pull the clutch in and flick the gear lever into N by hand although sometimes it is a real bitch to do and takes a bit of encouragement.

As far as I know the cause is simply that the gearbox is cheaply designed and manufactured like the rest of the bike.

The hyoslag is a boil on the bum cheek of motorcycle engineering.

For real.

They have improved from what they were, but they still have a long way to go, as many bike mechanics who have worked on them will tell you.

The one plus side of the Hyo is the engine - bar the odd exception they are generally pretty good. Mine's done about 43,000 k's now and still purrs away with no problem.... it's just the other parts of the bike that come loose and rattle e.g. the exhaust that get on my nerves!!

So it has a few niggles... I like mine even still.

With the gearbox issues just be careful not to munch it hard on the gear lever. Our son cracked the housing and it had to be all pulled down and the housing swapped from another engine. Just nice and easy does it.... Having the bike rolling while going down into neutral from 2nd is really the way to go.

Check its not overfilled with oil, or got he worng oil in it.

completely agree and now the 100 is looming!!!

[Hiflyer]

1st to neutral I find is easier on mine but my gearbox doesnt have that problem usuall, It might be a sign that the clutch cable is gonna snap as well, the hyos have that almighty bend in the cable just next to where it joins the lever.
