    eek Hyosung GT250 UK recall (2003/2004 models)

    Thought I would post this here as I haven't seen any other info.
    This is a UK recall from last year, but may be worth while for owners of 2003/2004 Hyosung GT250's to keep an eye on it.

    They only started bringing in Hyobags in early 2006, my mate was the first owner of a GT250R in NZ 2005 model.

    Meh, doesn't look too bad. You could fix that with some wire and a big hammer easy.

    Doesn't look half as dangerous as the problems with the new Aprilia RSVR's...


    Looks like that bike's been pushed hard.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Loss of directional control? That's a fuppin understatement if ever I heard one.
    It's back..."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

    Here's the quote for someone that had it happen, doesn't seem like it was to catastrophic. still not something I would like to experience 1/2 way around a corner.


    My swingarm has torn itself apart at the shock mount. My bike had
    seemed to be sitting a little lower and I could hear some rubbing when
    going over big bumps, so I thought it might be the shock. Instead, it
    turns out the mount was ripping out of the arm. I was 40km from home
    when I noticed it.
    I finally got my knee down! …and my shoulder …and my pillion’s head.

    Mate of mine works for a bike mechanic / repairer. He's seen one of these come in and couldnt believe it. The guy reckoned he just went over a curb and the back end dropped right down.

    Supposedly the build quality issues have been greatly improved since those earlier models, but i just dont know eh...

    This is the think a proper allow japbike of the modern day could be ridden averyday for 30 years and this stuff wouldn't happen...

    within 8 years every hyosung around now will be scrap.
