I'm confused at this.

Korean

Chinese

Both a world apart in terms of build quality

Or is this NOT about my comment on Hyosungs on chat the other day? Question

Both are shite.

I have a Hyosung GT650R, and the engine is fucked after only 7000 miles !

Has been serviced more than what the books advise, has had £1000s spend on it for problems which keep occuring time and time again.

And at the moment the bike is now in transit on its way back home from the Czech Republic.

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER buy such shite again, especially something with spare parts as rare as hen's teeth.

My bike will be home in 3 weeks time, so if anyone wants a spares and repairs project for not a lot of money, then give me a shout, either that or someone little thief will come and steal the bike in the next few weeks and set it on fire Rolling Eyes

So pissed off with Hyosung! Evil or Very Mad I am a member on korider.net and I frequently read the horror stories on there of engines being replaced under warrany and having a life expectancy of 2 years at the very most, but I was nieve and thought it was due to the owners neglecting their bikes.

So to recap; if anyone is thinking about buying a Hyosung - THEN DON'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad

Erm the GT650R uses the SV650 engine, Suzi licensed it to Hyosung to build in house.

In that case you may aswell buy the sv? Mr. Green

You get what you pay for people ! Thumbs Up

No it doesn't. It might be similar but it is not the same. Has a different bore and stroke for a start.

All the best

Tons of genuine Yamaha parts I've ordered for the YBR are made in China... It's the quality control that matters rather than tarring all the factories in one country with the same brush. Thumbs Up

The 650 is based on the SV. The guy who designed the SV engine was offered the job to build the whole package.

As to parts, Try Startrights, they stock plenty of Hens teeth Laughing

Perhaps your problem is you have been servicing it too much.
A modern bike engine should require very little work at that sort of milage.
Even oil changes are now creaping up.

Mine is 7k miles.

Or you simply got a lemon Embarassed Happens to even the best manufactures.

How does it take 3 weeks to get back from the Czech Republic, they pushing it Laughing

All north korean bikes are hand built by Kim jong il, and currently hold all world records in terms of performance. He recently rode one for the first time setting a world land speed record of 4597mph. You can't buy one you western pig-dog, though you may look at a cardboard cut-out of one from across the demilitarised zone.

That's funny... the 250R in the garage is completely fine. Done 9k miles, I put 1k of those on it (my friends bike.... who hasn't got a licence so hasn't ridden it)

Guess you got a lemon.

Well, if I did it wasn't through neglect of the bike.

I owned the bike since it had a couple of hundred miles on it.
