as yes, owning motorbikes is fun isnt it.
Any chance you could fix half these problems yourself - it will teach you alot about the bike.
My RZ and RG i replaced about 80% of the nuts, bolts, screws etc

i'm just messing with ya. my first bike had blown fork seals, rooted carbs and wonky fr disc. all done under warranty.. it's just part of owning a bike. even a new one!

I have owned 3 different sort of Suzukis from brand new - the only thing ever needing replacement under warranty were some indicator covers that suddenly "fell off" immediately after a service (like someone twisted them, when they don't twist but pop off )
One of the reasons you buy a new bike isn't it - so things don't break, fall off or otherwise come apart.

6) Bouncy bouncy - My rear shock is very bouncy, with no dampening to speak of, I've compared it to other Hyosungs and its not how it should be.

This is getting to be very common. Yours is the third I've heard of doing this. Not good. Not good at all.

If you really believe that such minor teething problems qualify for "most unreliable bike ever made", then you have a fascinating journey of discovery ahead of you.

I think you need to harden up considerably. Very considerably.

Harden up? The rear shock completely shat itself. After six months. I don't imagine you ride into work with a spare rear shock in your pocket.

I like Yellow.
"Yellow cars cause more accidents"

Apparently people look at the yellow car and crash into someone else. Hence why I brought a yellow bike. That and I haven't seen many yellow naked Hyosungs around.

Completely un-related but that's so true.

I was passenger in a Canary yellow RX7 when it began overheating on the motorway just before the Terrace tunnel. We pulled over, and raised the bonnet and smoke began pouring out. Not long after there was a five car nose to tail as everyone was looking at this yellow car almost on fire and not infront of them.

Ok guys just got back from TSS (great store that)
The rear shock is dead and needs to be replaced so that will be done at the same time as the rattle is fixed

I Also put aside a tank bag which I'll pick up tomorrow so I can finally loose the backpack.

I think most of your problems can be put down to poor assembly and not quality or reliability. Ixion has a very valid point too. A lot of the dealers selling Hyosungs are starting to pay attention to common minor issues, such as the rubber peg rests coming loose, along with the chain guard. A simple re-tightening with a bit of lock tite does the trick.

Hyosung on a mechanical/build level have a mound of experience and history in the motor industry behind them. It is everyone else that causes the problems. Distributors/Dealers who don't assemble bikes properly, service technicians who make "human errors" and of course the people right at the top of the pyramid who decide "the cheaper part is better, it does the job, so what?" then it causes problems then its a bunch of red tape bullshit to resolve it.

And last but not least, the end user, the rider is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of a bike: How it is stored, how often is it cleaned, the accuracy of service intervals and so on.

So to answer your question, no, it is not the most unreliable bike every made. It just had too many humans making errors involved in its conception.

No thanks, The bike was New 5 1/2 months ago, so why fix things on it myself when it's covered by warranty.
Really there shouldn't be any problems with a new bike. (well ok maybe 1 or 2, but not 6?)

NC4R, why the 'covering up the private bits' in your shots?? does your bike have genitalia?? Or is it just shy?

[Dodger]

How it is stored, how often is it cleaned, the accuracy of service intervals and so on.

Hmmm,
The bike has just over 3500km on the clock, it's stored in a garage at night and in an undercover car park during the weekdays.

Last service was at 1000km, the chain was re greased about 800kmish ago and prob needs to be redone (this weekend all going well). Cleaned... hmmm I cleaned it for UncleB's funeral, but not since.

Interesting to hear your perspective, however that comment was a generalisation and not directed at your situation. How often you cleaned it obviously gives no reason for the chain guard to fall off... for example.

[skelstar]

Hyobags are substandard...its going to take a while for them to get it right.

Brilliant, another well-informed opinion.

I've never bought a car / bike / anything with a motor brand new for three reasons....

1) I'm too tight to shell out full price for anything,
2) the depreciation on a new vehicle in the first year or two is horrendous, and,
3) all of the factory "bugs" have been ironed out by the first owner.

Nothing with so many moving parts can be expected to come out of the factory 100%.
