Installed on RC 2018. This will be longer than most reviews but want to get all the details down to help you guys decide.
Ladies and gents, the big ticket item on here for the GT family. If you enjoy performance and speed, then my god is it worth it. The damping and preload makes bumps and crests effortless, no bottoming out and chain is free to do it's thing. I have managed to test it here in Ulster on the road race tracks (not when closed roads sadly) and it performed like a dream, ride flows from section to section, cornering is massively improved, I can't fault it. Adjustment is relatively simple, I'm 85kg/6 ft4 so some adjustment/firming was needed out of the box, but all very straightforward, plus a higher set ride height is noticeable for me. Installation is one for one with OEM, would recommend mechanic there to give the bones and links a once over/lubrication and for an extra pair of hands. It is a larger price tag, but it's not everyday we get a company like YSS making a specific product for Hyo's. If you are on the fence, then definitely go for it.
Installed on RC 2018. Can't go wrong with NGK, the rest of the reviews have got everything spot on. Can't fault them, great starts, improved performance and great value. Can't beat it.

MARCEL ROCKS!
Not only is this kit is a must have upgrade for your bike, but the support and advice i've got from Marcel is amazing!
You should now that this is my first motorcycle and I really love to make my hands dirty. I love my bike but the acceleration was a bit disappointing. I've read about a tooth more or less on the front or back sprocket, but i really didn't wanted to loose any top speed. It seemed to be one or the other (more acceleration more top speed). I talked to my dealer about this, but I didn't find any help there.
So I contacted Marcel. He sent me the kit and the delivery was very fast (I live in Belgium)
Then came the moment of truth: would I be able to do the upgrade myself? I succeeded with easy with some remote support from Marcel over messenger. His reaction time was very fast and I didn't loose time with the procedure if i had a question. Many thanks for that Marcel.
The day after the installation came the second moment of truth. Would this upgrade perform as advertised? In short: IT DID! The test ride with these sprockets / chain exceeded my expectations .
The acceleration in gears 1-4 is superb now. In second gear i can pull up to 50km/h - in 3th to 70 km/h without going in the red range! The bike pulls really fast now.
About the top speed, with original chain kit my top speed was 107km/h on a steep downhill. Now on a far less steep one i reached 119 on display and gps speed was 107 !!! Speed record easily broken.
Installed on RC 2018. The crem de la crem of spark plugs. Engine smooth, power on demand has improved, acceleration unbelievable and a clean start. Worth the money, combine with the NGK caps for optimum performance.

Just upgraded to the uprated coils, the uprated regulator, the uprated stator and ngk caps with iridium spark plugs. I have to say it made an amazing difference, the bike almost no longer needs choke (less than a minute and only on first start in the morning), acceleration has improved significantly and my bike is now charging (which was my original problem :p). Very happy with all items 🙂
Bike is a 2003 gv250 carby model
