I too have had issues with mine, but, my son and husband don't have any worries with theirs. hmurphy, I'd get that bike into the dealer and tell him all about your woes. Get some answers before riding it out of there. What happened to you on the weekend does not sound normal at all. All the best with finding the answers.

AFAIK there are only two tubes coming from a Hyo or any other (non water cooled) bike: one is the fuel overflow tube and the other comes from the battery compartment. There is no tube from the crankcase or gearbox. Therefore it would seem that its oil from the shock. If you sit on the seat can you bounce up and down? This would indicate a leaking shock absorber. BTW if you do need a new shock, order it direct from Richard Jordan in Korea - it will be less than half price including super fast courier delivery, and don't mention this to the workshop where you will get the shock replaced - no need for them to get ticked off.Originally Posted by hmurphy
At night or in a dark garage, follow the tubes with a torch light to see where each goes - remove the seat first.

Yeah she is in at TSS getting looked over. This same thing has happened to me before over the takas (about 2 weeks ago) but not as bad. I thought it was oil on the road that time too. I'm thinking goodbye Hyobag, hello r6.
Double shot!!
Do it. Theres no shame in ditching the hyo 250. Look what its taught you so far..

Every night I dream of riding an r6, then it turns into a nightmare when a cop pulls me over on my restricted licence. $400 and 25 demerits. OUCH!!

Go for the exemption then... Apply to sit your full.

I did apply for an exemption. I also said in the exemption that I would sit any riding course and get my riding assessed by a professional rider AND sit the full licence test to prove I am capable of riding at a full licenced level. Also I have many years experience in off road riding and I do a hell of a lot of kms a week on my bike.
I got declined though. I would have jumped through any hoops, spent all the money I don't have to get my full too. Oh well. DAMN IT!!!!!!
Double shot!!
forget the exemption, go get an r6. ride the fucker lol

Please don't tempt me. I can't afford the $400 dollar fine!! The bike would be paid for using a loan too, which doesn't bother me. NO REGRETS!!!!

If you cannot afford the $400 - you cannot afford the $$$ to pay for any damage should you ride into the side of a BMW.
Tempting as it is - the smart thing is to ride within the limits on the licensing and do your time. That R6 will be all the sweeter when you dont have to worry about the fines and insurance.

Yeah I recently had some trouble with the Shinkos, I just bought a Hyosung GT250R 2008 model and yes I am a noob, but was doing fine until a few sessions in the wet wellington weather. It all ended in tears really when a series of unfortunate events led me to losing control in some shit conditions and busting my bike a tad. Was only going 25-30km but as you all probably know, Mr hyosung does not like impact damage.....
Its gonna cost a bundle to fix her and it just breaks my heart. I might invest in a new pair of tyres but would need some guidence as am a new rider. Any takers?

Search for the KB Mentor program ... I went to the old one and its fantastic.
Top people with skills teaching simply because of the love of biking and a willingness to help people.
oh - if there was a series of unfortuante events that you couldnt get out of - slow down.

SO DangerousBastard gives me a RED rep for suggesting the mentoring program - yet offer the suggestion that people buy bikes outside of their licencing conditions (R6 etc) and ride uninsured - Seriously DB you really are a twisted strange little git.
Double shot!!
beww heww heww. I red repped you coz of the teaching comment and I said that too - it is you who is twisting meanings. The mentoring program is emphatically NOT a teaching program. Don't tell people its a teaching program. Its NOT. Sharpen up, Tank.

whatever - they are imparting knowledge - people learn from it. Thats teaching - regarless of it being in a mentoring format or not.
Edit -the comment was "Teaching? I think not" - so I didnt exactly twist it did I big boy?
