Reply To: My Hyosung ST7 project bike has arrived!
ST7Hello and thanks Steve for those really useful tips. This will be a leisurely winter project, but I shall keep the forum advised. I’ve always liked the look of the ones in white, and although I’ve only seen them on YouTube, I could imagine them as fully-kitted-out Police bikes in Korea! I like the low seat height too, even for people of average height it is a definite advantage and as you say sort of adds to that feeling of stability. In between cleaning and polishing the bike yesterday, I could not resist constantly having a sit on it! Motorcyclists are a bit of an obsessive breed!
I think you are quite right about the charging and starter clutch issues. Modern Triumph motorcycles apparently have the same issue, often caused by a people trying to start them with a less than optimum battery. Sadly, with the Triumphs you need to split the whole engine to get access to it, so the Hyosung has the advantage there.
