Are Hyosung Motorcycles Reliable...

Are Hyosung motorcycles reliable? Are Hyosung motorcycles any good at all? I have been asked repeatedly to make a video on Hyosung bikes and my opinion on them...so here we go! Whether it's a Hyosung 250 or Hyosung 650 Unfortunately I have never had a good experience with them...ever. Let me know in the comments if you have one and what you think!

Have been a mechanic for 25 years now. The fact you had one in your service centre for 2 years without your technicians being able to work out how to get it started, says far more about the quality of your service department than the quality of the bike

[@porkchopnu4096]

[@b-ryder4324]

I agree. These bikes are not that bad. Fairly simple design.

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

I was taught years ago, if an engine had been running and now wouldn't start, it was either Compression, Spark, or air/fuel. Surely in a 'Service Department' you'd have the tools to determine which of those 3 it was inside half an hour?

I have 2 hyosung's, a gr650r and a gv650. First thing I did was was replace the stator/rectifier. Both have done over 50,000km and have never let me down. Yes, powder coating on the older models was poor. Hyosung used to make engines under licence for Suzuki. If you know what to look for, do regular maintenance, for the price of them, they are a great bike.

[@Jesus_is_Lord_and_King]

Hi where did you order the stator and the rectifier? Did you use a different part or a original Hyosung stator and rectifier? Regards Alexander

[@dailystruggles6003]

07 hyosung gv650 and I can blow Harleys out of the water. 125mph cuz they are governed. The motor is the same out of suzuki 650 crotch rocket. Cheap to fix, they are light, they do feel cheap weighing 480lbs, but people don't realize how to maintain them. I've been rat rodding mine, exhaust ect. Alot of times folks put cheap gas in them, they require high octane and platinum plugs. Because folks don't take care of them the carbs get gummed up due to the ethanol. I'm not saying they are the highest quality by any means, but they are quick and faster than any older Harleys I've ever owned. I think the biggest problem is Americans never gave hyosung a good chance to prevail because I've owned every kind and model of bike from goldwings to ultra classic, to Honda and yamahas, and I actually enjoy my Korean vrod it's cheap and fun to build up. To each their own

Hyosung is so durable. They're underrated because they are still considered as new in the market until you own a good one. 😁 have a Hyosung GT250R that was refurbished and the bike is damn reliable and easy to maintain. Hyosungs are made from real quality materials and are beautifully fabricated. I would buy a Hyosung in my next life.

[@steel1527]

I wouldn't say real quality materials they have shit Chinese metal that rusts quickly mine is a 2016 but other then some of the cheap parts it has been the most reliable bike I have ever owned

[@250Darkness]

Hyosung engine IS reliable but corners were cut with none essential parts like my instance the starter relay. It is easy to find good, durable replacements for cheap Korean none essential parts and UNLESS the motorcycle is a project or has been customised with proper parts then hyosung isn't worth the attention.

[@celalbaskan5039]

I had a lot of hyosungs in Turkey and had 2 different models in USA. put pretty much KM on them. RT125 15.000KM in 2 years GT 250 55.000KM in 4 years GT 650 (first ) 25.000KM in 2 years GT 650(second) 45.000KM in 4 years GT 650(third) 500 miles in 4 months They needed some easy updates about electrical parts. Thats all. Other than that. They were pretty good bikes. Actually I sold all of them to my friends and they are still using them with pleasure. But I ve moved to USA and bought an 2012 GT650 from a first owner. it has just 2000 miles . I guess the problem here in USA is people dont often use their bikes in whole year. People just make a few couple hundred miles at summer and they are done. I ve faced some problems on the bike and solved them. I know hyosungs all models. I can fix them even my eyes covered. Hyosungs problems starts with low level battery. Because its regulator rectifier(basically same on every model) and harness quality are weak for the bike. Its harness needs some solder labor undone while manufacturing the bike. These are really easy but emerges big problems on sensors. I know those are sound like big problems but actually they are not. The big problem is these are really easy things to do and may cost the brand not more than $10 why the hell they are not doing that. Users dont have to be handy guys like me. To sum up; as a second hand and less than $2000 I could buy it.(if its really really mint condition than can be $2500) But other than that it does not worth it. If I know the bike and done some basic things. I could go a tour around the world without any hesitation.

[@tobylangdale95]

Damn, I bought a non running 2008 gv 250 that had sat in the Florida weather for a year from a college student for $100. I brought it home cleaned the totally clogged fuel petcock ,replaced the fuel lines and install an inline filter*it , replaced the voltage regulator and battery, properly adjusted to drive chain and set wheel alignment*, cleaned lubed and reset neck bearings* and then recovered the sun-trashed seat with buckskin. To a total of $85. That was two years ago, and I've put 4,700 trouble free miles on it. For a little- 400 lb.250cc bike it is amazingly quick,and fast 80+ mph! And I cruise at 70+ all day! And for a forward control cruiser ( gonna change that!) The handling and ride are excellent in my opinion. And I've been riding for 50 years and have owned at least one of all Japanese makes, Triumph, BSA, Norton, Moto Guzzi... hmmm, did I forget any? Oh, and Bultaco. Now, I can say for sure that it is a cold natured little 'cuss, AND, you MUST run premium 93+ octane gasoline! 10w 30 summer and 5w 30 winter v-twin oil for AIR COOLED motor oil without fail! If you try and scrimp half a tank with mid grade gas and or run thicker/wrong oil it will not run worth a dry fuck , start nor be dependable as a cheating spouse! Proper fuel, oil and set up are imperative. And I can say honestly that it is now and has been one of the funnest and dependable little bikes that I've ever owned. Edit; mine is a carburetor model, I've heard that many who have the fuel injection models and experience trouble want to convert to the Mikuni carbs, and I've seen the carburetors for sale for $400 +! Must be rare and desirable. I'm fixing to buy a 2011 non running fuel injected model, I'll report on what luck I have with it. I also am toying with the idea of turbocharging one of them.

I own a 2015 Hyosung GT250R since May of 2020 with 2300 miles and the only issues I’ve had is with the Dealer and the mechanics. 1st of all the dealer tells me I can’t test drive because it’s a brand new bike, ok got it! So now i guess if want to ride it i have to buy it!! So after i purchase the motorcycle there’s a code flashing, me being a new to the game he explains to me that it’s just OS sensor and it will not hurt the bike, I have already order 1.... still waiting!!! 2nd at my 300mile Oil Change the mechanic decided to leave the drain screw loose which vibrated out on my ride for the day leaving me stranded on the side of the road for 4hrs! I’m thinking the reason these bikes are getting such a bad name falls on the dealership and mechanic personally, I’m a Electrician and I don’t sell what i cant back up PERIOD however maybe you should ride one before you bash the shit out of it!

[@AlexSimmons11c]

Have ridden several of them in my years in the motorcycle industry haha, very glad to hear you have had good luck with yours so far, always happy to hear good reports!

[@ironmike4843]

I put 75,000+ miles on my 2007 GT-650R, the trick to it's longevity was an added power wire I used to bypass a solder splice in the main power wire inside the harness. Doing this allowed the resistance caused by the splice to be more than halved and this cause the stator and regulator to function as they should. The reason why Hyosungs had electric problems in the United States is that the harness and the electrical system was not designed for the additional load of US regulations that required the headlights to be on all the time. It took me and a very good tech less than a couple of hours to create a fix this issue and I never had an issue with the bike afterwards. The other "issue" people always complained about were the brakes, it was just as easy to fix as well. The brake pads would jam on the hanger pins because the pins were slightly bigger on a Hyosung calipers than on the honda calipers, I spun them in a drill and reduced the shaft of the pin to the point where they didn't jam and switched to a better brake pad and never had an issue with stopping afterwards. I also put a dual exhaust on it with rebuildable mufflers, one pipe on each side of the bike. I still miss it. I also have a 2007 GV650 that I am cleaning the carbs on after four years of sitting in my barn, I will be riding it before the week is out.

[@hadiTHEgreat87]

I'm from Malaysia. The hyosung gt650 rebadged CKD as Naza GT 650R(Fi model). As far is I use from 2013 it never disappoint me much other than my mistakes overrevving(10k rpm) & crashing the bike end up replacing a whole engine costing me MYR2000. It's not perfect, it has its quirks, i replace with bigger gauge wires most of it's wiring under the tank bcos the wiring almost fried under there. For record, my friend MV Agusta F4 went to workshop almost every month because of electrical problems. Mine is a daily bike too. It may tops out lower than most 600cc ones at 230kmh to 250kmh but for me it's reliable enough with my regular maintenance. Some people knows how to clowning with their vehicle but didn't know the limits and maintaining it.

[@patwalker9890]

Hyosungs can indeed be quirky. I have a 2016 GV250 (cruiser style) that I bought as new old stock . I guess Hyosung was dumping all the bikes currently in the US and selling them in lots to small dealers. Got mine with 0 miles for $2,000 and it is worth every penny of that. I have a little over 3,000 miles on it in 5 months and it runs great. The community of Hyosung owners is coming together on a couple of great forums where you can get technical and moral support, so fixing the usual issues isn't too hard. I agree that they are not Hondas but at the price point they are not too bad at all.

Good to know the perspective of someone who has had experience with these bikes because opinions in the US in Korean brands are often biased.. Everyone laughs at the reliability of Hyundais and Kias.. The car I rented in my first visit to the US in late 90s was a Kia Sephia and the last car ( so far ) that I drove 60K miles for 4 years between 2013-17 was a 2002 (obviously Used) Hyundai SantaFe.. I never had any problem whatsoever with either of these cars..

[@Thirdplace4life]

It sounds like the actual moral of the story is you need to fire the service department. Older yosung motorcycles have Mikuni carburetors NGK spark plugs Etc. They didn't put garbage Parts in these bikes. Just because you're moron service department couldn't figure it out doesn't mean it's a bad bike. I'll tell you another story, there was a shop down the street for me that couldn't get a chainsaw running. The owner gave it to me. I took it home and had it running in 5 minutes.

Have you heard anything about SWM reliability? I’m interested in the RS500R or the SM500R supermoto.

Similar performance to KTM, Honda, Husqvarna and Beta bikes in the same class but for $3-4K less. Seems like it has good parts such as KYB suspension and Brembo brakes but I’m wary of them since SWM themselves don’t have a recent proven track record.

[@jimrunereiten7320]

I bought a Hyosung Gv 650 for a month ago,and it had electrical problems,the digital instruments wouldn’t work correctly and it had starting problems,it was only juice for 2-3 starting attempts,but when measuring the battery it seemed ok,was 13,5v,and even after trying to recharge the old battery it’s measurements looked good,but it was obviously not. And it also popped and stalled in the junctions when You let the engine drop down to idle,so bought it cheap,15.000 Nkr ( about 1300 US dollars) drove it home,and next day bought a new battery for it, and charged it to max, And then the bike suddenly worked just fine,everything with the digital instrument issues was gone,plenty of electrical juice for a lot of starting attempts. and also had a look at the rubber intake manifolds,and they where cracked,so when I changed those, it also quitted with the stalling at the junctions,so,it was mainly the battery,and the rubber manifolds,and I have driven the bike daily for the last month now,it works great,have also given it a full service,oil and oil filter change. and changed the brake pads,adjusted the drive belt,that was as thigh as a piano string. But the bike has not been driven more than 9.500km since new,but it had been standing outside in the rain and snow,and I live in Norway so 1/2the year is polar conditions,so it have been standing outside in all kind of weather. with no cover at all ,since the guy I got it from bought it ,almost done no service at all on the bike, Only thing he had done was changing the starting solenoid when it failed ,but the filters,and brake pads he got with it when he bought it new,had been laying on a shelf, so those I also got “as extra “ so pretty sure,it’s got a lot to do how the bike beeing serviced and taken care of. And so far the Hyosung seems pretty reliable and to be a good bike,too me, thinking what it’s been trough of weather during its life ,so mostly it is a service and how it’s taken care of that mirrors if it’s a reliable bike.

[@nimbly1693]

Older Korean made vehicles were made pretty cheaply. That being said, a service department or dealership doesn't seem to be a good place to gauge your opinion of a vehicles reliability. If you hung out at a Toyota dealer and watched all the Toyotas come in to be fixed, you might be led to believe that Toyota makes unreliable vehicles.

[@b-ryder4324]

I have a GD 250r. Absolutely love this bike. It handles very well, stiff suspension, excellent fuel economy. I did though have to do a little work to it, but as far as I can tell, this bike has most of the parts you'd see on a Japanese bike. If you take care of it, it will last. If you leave it outside, drop it 10 times, run 87 in it, change the oil every other riding season, then yeah. You'll probably have problems with it

[@germanium1872]

I had a 2009 Hyosung MS3 scooter when I was in college. It was an awesome scooter. I put 24,000 miles on it, and the only thing that broke on it was the starter. It was $50 to replace. I sold it 7 years later for $500.

34000 km. Still looking for trouble. You.. How many km each year on motorbike? I do not think you has many km on any Hyosung, or any other motorbike for that matter. Mine runs and starts. Mine has not had any mechanic working on them. Has to change oil and lubricate parts on any bikes. Has to follow the service manual on all bikes. I don't like the break calipers on the early Hyosung bikes. At the moment i have one Hyosung and two Guzzis. The Hyosung is nimble and light. The Guzzis are raw brute torque. If you are not able to maintain your bike to exeed 200000km, then you shall not complain the bike but your regular service. I am using my Hyosung as a winter bike on salty road.

Hi guys, I had 2 Hyosung that I bought because I am curious. I didn't like the first one that felt a bit cheap and had a damaged lcd screen. It was a 2016 250 Exiv model (single piston). However it was running right and I sold it to someone still happyly riding it. I then saw a cheap low mileage 650 GT year 2006 that I negociated so hard I couldn't regret it ($800). I did the whole maintenance and inspection myself and ended up spending about nearly the same price ($650) for clutch disks, tires and all fluids. It is my daily ride these days since I still cannot believe how much I can enjoy 80hp for that cheap. 3000km later, no worries, just pleasure. Seems that the v-twin can last very long and as mine is with carbs I won't have the troubles the later models had with electronics and injectors. And this 2006 model doesn't have rust or anything wrong. In the rain or in the heat of Cambodia it is a great bike so far. I almost bought another one recently. The 250 Exiv again but guess what...electronic and injector issues... I bet old models with carbs are the best. Especially the v-twins. Cheers and good ride!

[@saulocpp]

These use Suzuki's 650cc engine found in the V-stroms and SV650/Gladius that has been running for the past 20+ years. I don't know of any japanese V-twin that has been out for longer and more tested/proven. Looks like pretty bad luck. All other things are personal preference, like too plushy suspension (nothing another oil/spring can't fix).

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

I'm Spanish and I bought a Hyosung Karion RT125D in 2015 and so far it has only given me satisfaction. It is a very grateful motorcycle and as soon as you take care of it you will always have it in perfect working order. At the moment it has no rust, no fluid leakages and no strange sounds.

Even in korea, hyosung and daelim(top 2 motorcycle manufacturers in korea) are not reliable anymore. Daelim was partner of honda and hyosung was same relation with suzuki, both in 20c. After the partnership ended, their product quality fell down slowly. Now both of them produce most of their motorcycles in china(some of them are just chinese company’s products with re-badging) so quality or maintenance is difficult even in korea. Named as “korean motorcycle” but if you want to buy parts, you should find them in chinese online shopping mall... Some koreans evaluate older hyosung and daelim bikes(90s~early 00s) are more reliable than recent models.

[@alexma995]

Hyosung is a copy of suzuki sv. Is not exelent or bad. Brand new bike for 5k euro it is cheap. But if you want similar bike like hyosung 650. There is suzuki sv650, but the price of suzuki is 7300-7500 euro and suzuki dosent hawe upside down front forks. I understand one fact that in u.s.a. is hard to find filters and engine parts for hyosung, but if you hawe a internet, you can buy any detail and filter in internetshop. Simply.

[@AlexSimmons11c]

Thanks for adding!

[@Appealsman]

I change my own oil every riding season. The filters cost less than ten bucks and are readily available from a number of online sources. I use semi-synth, so the oil is not cheap, but I have found there is a difference in shifting and engine sound if I use a cheaper motor oil. I wish they had gone with a dipstick instead of a sight glass for checking oil level. but that's not a big issue.

My hyosung gv250 is a 2002 with over 60,000 miles on it. It’s not hyosung’s fault your service dept is totally incompetent and you are biased beyond belief. The ONLY things I gave done to mine is oil changes, plugs and tires. THAT IS IT!!! With a top speed of 103 mph and light weight, it is the perfect bike for commuting and in town stop and go. Cruises are also fine. That is an honest REAL LIFE experience from an owner for 19 years. All machines break with abuse or neglect. I’ve owned Honda, Suzuki, HD, and Triumph. Not one single bike was as dependable as the Hyosung GV250.

Hyosung was a partner / engineering contractor for Suzuki Motorcycle - went defunct in 1998. It is under KR Motors which is a part of KOLAO Group - which primarily focuses on South East Asia (they are based in Laos now). Hyongsung aka KR Motors brands are primarily focused on South East Asian market - which means you are expected to own your bike for no more than 3~4 years with a daily use as a primary mode of transportation. They are good enough, reliable enough, safe enough at a very low cost of ownership. So if you are in Europe/N America and looking to own a Hyosung - my advice is get a used Japanese instead.

Long winded ass post but I hear you!.. I have a 2009 gv650 cruiser here in the states I bought new with a 2 year warranty. I bought it new in the crate. I had a leak at the primary cover with in 1k miles and the Dealer I bought it from traveled over 60 miles with a enclosed trailer and picked it up at my home. They Brought it back the next day for me and it was fixed and detailed to a tee!. 15k later I had a small leak on the fuel injection hose on a 400 mile ride. I swapped it out in a Autozone parking lot with a short section of FI hose and a pair of long needle nose pliers and it never had a issue since. The same ride we had a Fellow rider with a Ducati Diavel that had a clutch issue with 2k on it's clock. After correcting those issues we went on to ride the rest of the ride. Mine is still in my garage under a tarp waiting for the weather to clear up . But even then I still road it for 2 weeks in the early spring when my cage was in the shop for body work due to a inattentive driver that thought it was prudent to text and drive and mangled the rear end. I sold my Hinckley Triumph Bonneville to get it my GV650. My Triumph had its own set of issues and hurt my knees to ride for long periods of time. It was a looker though and held its value netting me only $200 less than what I bought it for new and it was 8 years old at the time. I still get just as much interest in this bike as I did my Bonneville and even being a cruiser it would have ran circles around the Bonneville t100. It was literally like strapping myself onto a rocket after being on the triumph. It's Fast as F still to this day and handles light years better than the Bonnie did. Being in the Hyosung scene for several years I have saw my fair share of example of Hyo's with poor PDI from dealers that haven't a clue how to set up a bike out of the crate. Scooter shops start selling the line and gave 2 shits about setting the bike up. Lucky my dealer was a brick and mortar shop that knew what needed to be done before the customer picked up the bike. A main issue when it comes down to it is a lot of these lower priced bikes get the type of customer that doesn't have a bunch of Motorcycle experience and I understand that. It's easy for someone that doesn't have a bunch of experience with bikes to start having issues and its mostly issues that are self induced. No matter what the brand , you just cannot be a fair weather rider and not maintain the bike. You cannot leave ANY bike sit with untreated gas in it over the winter and expect it to run 100% even if the bikes are FI. Especially with today's Shit ass gas.. Again, I stress...That goes for any brand. I've done the upgrades to the charging system and haven't had a issue ever in regards to that. I pretty much had to do the same thing to the Triumph when I bought it. Regulator/rectifiers and then finally switching to a good Mofset R/R like everyone else with a Hinckley Triumph did. My gv650 still looks as good as it did as the day I rolled it off the showroom floor. I hope to have it in the stable for a long time. If you like the looks of a Hyosung and it is in your budget, Go ahead and buy it. But realize you need to do proper maintenance and be prepared to do upgrades on the bike to make it a reliable performer especially if you buy it used. I had plenty of expendable cash after selling my Bonneville but I liked the looks of the GV650 aso much that I went ahead and bought it knowing there would be some quirks to the bike and brand. It's been a fun reliable bike for the 12 years I have owned it. When I was about to hang up my riding boots the Hyo kept me riding comfortably with my bad knees. That in of itself was worth the little quirks here and there.

My first bike was a 2005 Hyosung GT 650 Comet. It had a Devil slip-on and sounded real badass. Alas, it had a bad habit of leaving me on the side of the road and I just had to figure out why. After countless attempts at fixing it I finally found the root cause. Basically all of the wirings were done poorly with shitty connections and way too thin cables. I switched every piece of wiring I possibly could to thicker high quality cables and that did the trick. Ever since that the bike ran like a dream and I had no issues at all. Sure, the chassis was shit, brakes were sketchy at best and the bike handled like a bouncy house just like you said Alex. I loved the bike nevertheless. :) I've owned a few bikes after that, such as a Kawasaki ZZ-R 600, a Suzuki Intruder 1400 and a BMW R 1200 GS. Would be fun to ride a Comet once again to see how shitty bike it really was, comparing it to my other bikes.
