    I had one of these and the back end was hard as fuck. Sounds like your shock shit it's oil over your back wheel. A knackered rear end might also explain the head shake.

    PS. Be thankful you weren't on an R6 when this happened.

    I think henry is right on this one. Dood, tell the dealer to sort it out. Sounds like you have a dud one. I'd get rid of it asap...

    Just got it back from dealer. The rear suspension didn't shit itself afterall!! There is a mystery oil ejecter on my bike. The shop is running a test to check that oil isn't shooting out one of the breather tubes. One thing is for sure though, oil (and lots of it) has spewed out from somewhere on the bike. Finding where is going to be the next problem.

    I might be changing the rear suspension settings or getting some quality suspension put on the bike. A stearing dampner is another thing that I might be putting on the bike. These are all things that I just discussed with the dealer and mechanic. To be honest, I just don't trust the bike anymore.

    Hell yeah I agree mate!!! Would have been a one way highside to Auckland on a powerful machine like that. But would a 2008 r6 be shitting oil over the rear wheel..? Probably not! Well.... I would sure as hell hope not!!

    Cheers

    It just seems that there's the odd one which comes out that has issues. I think this happens with any equipment. You'll always get the odd dud. Get rid of it as soon as you can. I don't think it is a reflection on the Hyosung. I've heard of other new bikes having issues too... and cars... It seems to me to be a fact of life.

    It's *supposed* to be like that?

    LOL on both counts there, I'm afraid. For one, *can* you change the suspension settings? Maybe preload but after that I'm afraid it's almost certainly stuck on "crap".

    Decent suspension would be a waste of money, unless you managed to score some second hand/cheapie forks and dampers from somewhere. It will make no difference to your resale value, not one drop.

    The dealer and mechanic would really quite like to discuss anything other than them finding a non-fucked bike for you to ride.

    Yeah I agree with you. It's not worth pouring money into a bike like this. My dad and I are running through the options...:

    -tune bike differently
    -buy stearing damper and rear suspension
    -buy a different bike, e.g. a ZXR with low kms or CBR-RR (all 250cc)
    -buy a bigger bike and be done with it, e.g. A FREAKING r6 BABY!!

    There is a lot to discuss though so I shall see what happens. Cheers for the help guys! Catch you on the roads

    Mate, you should be getting this sorted under warranty! There is something seriously wrong with your bike and the next time could be the last time you ride it. I think the shop is giving you the run-a-round. Go to a different bike shop and get another opinion.... I'd be too scared to ride it.

    hey drongo, get yourself some clues here ok.
    - If you cant handle a lowly GT250 then forget about an R6 for the short term.
    - Oil res on a 4 stroke.........something is fishy - take it back to dealer to sort......they have to, that is why you have a warranty.
    - Who the hell told you that an R6 won't tank slap? its slaps harder and faster than your GT......it has clipon bars dumbass....

    Ixion you are right - the only thing this squid is missing in jandals.

    Listen up - if the bike will tank slap in a straight line at 100k/hr then something is seriously wrong with it. Stop blaming hyosung and get the fault fixed. No one elses GT250R does this. Sounds to me like you have a steering head bearing problem, or bent front or rear suspension - probably by that near-highsider.

    If you try to sell it on trademe (or anywhere), you will have to fess up about the (dangerous!) fault, and then its worth little or nothing. Geez its under warranty man - go stand on them about it.

    Please educate me, how does clipon bars relate to tank slappers?
