So improving it would require these: Braided lines. All hyosung calipers suffer from piston corrosion. Stainless Pins. GV250 uses the same caliper , just use your own bracket. GT650 got upgraded to BIG 4 piston calipers, but the forks also got updated. They will not fit 250cc without the updated 650cc forks.
Good information, thank you Marcel. You saved me a lot of exp[erimentation & time/money wasting. I saw the GV250’s looks same – glad i can swap bracket. I wanted to try the new black GT650 EFI brake calipers – but i had a feeling they wouldn’t fit. Thank you – save me money & time. You are right about corroding Hyosung pistons. All my pistons front & rear are seized. I pulled the front apart got them moving but they locked up agaoin as soon a s i put them on the bike. My Front Master Cylinder also seized after i took it off for a week to try out another one. I had to buy another form Hyosung and i will be buying the brakes form them too. Found 2nd-hand Hyosung calipers but they ask too much & they will be seized & rubbish anyway.
I went for ride with NO front brakes … i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who wants to live. Your heart makes you pull the front brake lever, even when your brain knows it won’t help ya at all. Anyway, i’m still here. I’m like the back-brake expert now. The trick is to put your left foot on the road to slow down like Fred Flintstone. Takes a bit longer than normal.
