Wow such a huge difference, finally changed this myself. Not too scary. Straight swap for old kit. Didn't even need a gasket. Much sharper gear changes and acceleration. I highly recommend. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's about a 6 in mechanical knowledge. Remember to soak the plates and don't over tighten the bolts. It's a full oil change so have at least 2 litres handy
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.

I've added this upgrade onto my bike it's perfect only thing I found was that the front sprocket was a little loose even with the washer.
I'm hearing some noise but unsure if it's the upgrade so I can hear the chain go more now if if there's a problem.

Admin Reply: Thanks for your feedback, glad you love it like others do!💎 - If your font sprocket has a rattle, please investigate your drive shaft itself, we don't know if your own previous sprocket splines caused any issues to it etc, remember the original OEM sprocket from Hyosung is made in China, another owner made his bike chain adjustment too tight and he lost his engine shaft, so it was a mess! (his own fault) but the original sprocket was badly worn even inside the spline teeth connecting to the front engine shaft , so double check your setup! Remember to check chain slack and keep it lubed well!
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.
