Guy at work has a GT250 Hyosung fun for the first few months but now he hates it.

Very underpowered for a 250

Im having problems with the 160 part. On a hyobag 250. You sure?.....

Got 185km on a nice long down hill but that was gauge speed so maybe alittle off.
But the brakes story i had my rear brake sieze on the on position on the auckland motorway, hairy shit and found that the rubber cover on the rear master cyclinder was shit so replaced rubber with another rubber off a car from at work and never had a problem with brakes again.
Just the exhaust gasket kept on leaking and i kept on blowing the main fuse inder the pillion seat until i sealed it but besides that had a blast on my hyo gt250r.

Stupidity in my eyes. 160km is cruising pretty fast dude.

Average speed to work and back in SA (wont go back there) which was ace but people where still blowing by me, so 160km cruising so beautiful to me.
Faster the better..

Time for a new bike dude.....now!!

ive cruised about 160 on a old as fuck (drum brake) VT250. downhill slightly. and its not pleasurable.

but i knew the brakes were working. and i only did it once. cause once again and i'd be picking up pieces of engine all the way home.

anywhos a bike like that aint designed to be ridden like that though really. And if you generally if your cruising at that speed the roads straight. Cause i know how long it takes to get there.

as an aside i would pledge a bet that levers are not factory made part (nor are rear brake calipers) - so its not all hyo's fault (ok so they choose them but you choose to buy the damn thing)

anyway how did you not notice a seized rear brake caliper. If it was seized you wouldnt be able to place any force through the brake lever.

But this could never happen. Hyosungs are a fantastic quality product that will out perform the 'older' high performance 250's such as the CBR and ZXR.

TUI. Proof is in the pudding Hyo lovers.

I suggest you:
a) get a decent machine or ride within the limits of your current one.
b) learn a little bit more about 'quick' riding before endangering yourself too much. Tracks are pretty good, or private events on closed roads. Too many things trying to kill you as a learner already.

I don't get it. How come the bike gets the blame after being abused and misused by an idiot rider?

.... the front brake leavers adjuster is faulty. i had it set to 6 (the furtherest it goes out from the bars) with some testing we found that when its on 6 and you pull hard on the brakes it clicks over to one and the leaver comes in against the bar and its not far enough in to bring on the brakes......

Good ole KB, missing the point again. Nice to be all high and mighty.

What has happened here is a serious safety concern and has nothing to do with the speed he was travelling. Are you saying that if he slammed the brakes on from 100km/h on the open road to avoid an accident and this happened that it would have been ok?

For fucks sake people. This is a serious bike fault and i'd be concerned if I was riding one about whether I could trust the brakes or not.

if its not made to go that speed why can it..... and i dont use back brakes there useless anyway just usefull when you need a back up

working on getting rid of the hyo shit, and at the end of the day i make my own decisions and if i choose to speed on an empty(ish) road and put myself at risk well then thats my problem i think a few too many ppl on here spend too much time on there ass typing and not enough riding....

time and place... time and place...

We all speed, its pretty hard not to... but there is speeding and then there is speeding... if you going to speed at least choose a back road with minimal traffic, (Doesn't mean there is no mr plod patrol) and watch out for crap on the road... back roads are less maintained

main reason I don't speed everywhere anymore is cost to much... not in tickets but in fuel... actually its because I want to definitely make it home in one piece not just a maybe make home...
