apparently was going so fast last nite he outran the headlight  ,

I noticed the headlight rim wasn't mounted  in its shell properly,Huuummmmmmm
First night of ownership, traveling the grahams town dam road(less skippys to land in your face).
No streetlights, pitch black, cruising a 100+ the headlight blows out, Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar-out

I honestly thought damit jannet, gunna die
waited for a cars and followed them

A new bulb, without touching it and reassembled the headlight structure the correct way.
Now it all sits together neat.

Tell me Mick what are those HyoZukis like to ride?

Well they are not the built quality of the Zukis that's for sure, but neither was the price
Lots of things need tidying up and setting up.
Starting to dial it to my preferences.

Front brake is still noisy, but brakes are sensational great fun to control with the front while locking the rear into a slide.
Suspension is very ordinary but haven't played with it yet.
Engine is as sweet as.

I know your not the Hyosung dealer any more and needed this last one gone,,,but,,
I can hardly believe the amount of new 650 V-Twin I got for $6k ride away with 12months rego, helmet and gloves.
I would have bought the new DR650 beside it, if it was a different colour. $6250 for it ride away cheap new DR650.
But really happy to have a dedicated roadie instead. So light and easy to throw around.

I hate getting off it,,and accept it for what it is. I love sorting a bike. It will be a much different ride when dialed and sorted.
Thank you very much SON.

The plan works.
Heat wave. So drop everything and head for the ocean, but every man n his dog has the same Idea. Not a legal car park within Cooee plus a mile in an area blanketed with revenue raising brown bombers.
Unless you have a bike, check out the TS125J Duster
And no cars are game or stoopid enough to park in the bike slots


I should have got a better pic of the TS,,,,

400? 250? cant quite tell from here (im in Victoria!)

[twinrock]

The biggest problem that I have noticed..especially living in newcastle, with this brand of bike and all other small capacity cheap korean and malaysian bikes is build quality..im yet to see one a daily rider older then 2 yrs with no rust ...poor plating and painting went for a ride with one on rg250 my forks were perfect his needed to  be replaced due to pitting..and the rg is 30yr older..built down to a price..not up to a standard.!!

Glad you are happy with it I have seen plenty about lately.

Personally I don't really care about not having a new bike and the amount of good second hand roadbikes that are about so cheap there is something for every one I have got a tl1000r I got for $4k a lot of bike for the money.

saving on front tyre wear frosty by keeping it off the ground?

[oldyzman]

A mate from work recently sold his second hand hoyosung. He didn't say much until it was sold. He sold it through a shop on consignment as he said the bike had intermittent electrical issues and did not want to sell it himself. I was surprised as the bike looked quite good. he also said he would never buy another Hoyo...

My front wheel does like to come up but it likes to bust the rear loose a lot as well.

I am interested to see if you see many hyosungs about in 5-10 years that will be the true test but even if it did fall to pieces after that much time you haven't had the massive depreciation you get on one of the main makes once you wheel it out the shop.
