Does anyone here own Hyosung gt250r efi or knows anything about it, like things to look out for, pre ride checklist, servicing tips or any tips for someone like me who doesn't ride the bike more than 2000 - 3000 km in a year?

its efi so presuming it's fairly new? If so I don't think rust will be an issue, try keep it garaged still. But if it's sitting a while before a ride lube the chain and check it's tension, change the oil at minimum once a year even if you only do 2000km. For the rest of the bike if it ain't broke don't fix it. just as you take off make sure it feels right and give the brakes a little test. Have fun

Do I have my bike key? Yes.

WOOHOOOOOO, wheelie time!

It should be written on a sticker on the swingarm, but usually 20-30mm of chain movement up and down.

Now go do wheelies!

Shouldn't that read 'Do I have the keys to HIS bike, WOOHOOOOO, wheelie time!'?

After flipping a mates bike and giving myself a foot peg piercing...No, it probably shouldn't.

I empty mine when oncoming traffic is in my lane around blind corners

You don't enjoy the cramps as you try and hold on, and go as fast as you can manage to the next servo?

Pfft, and they say the new bikers are soft!

Thanks mate! I've never check it since I owned the bike which is about a year now

• Turn bike on with choke cranked to max
• Open Garage Door (optional)
• Bounce engine off rev limiter
• Push bike off centre stand and powerslide out door and across lawn
• Drop bike at end of driveway
• Pick bike up. Swear. Kick it straight.
• Pull out in front of white van with little room to spare
• Ride really slowly until white van tries to overtake and then power wheelie off down the road and through the stop sign on the back wheel.

But few have your level of mechanical sympathy, or skill.

Sounds messy ...

Mine snaps shut. And the pucker effect sticks me to the seat ...

It's not skill, it's a happy series of coincidental spaz attacks.
