Reply To: Airfilter box question
They did the same thing with pre-2017 GV125 and GV250 = Same chassis , same air filter , same coils, but as GV250 got more improved over the years , less parts started to fit GV125 Carb Model (because after 2008-2010 GV250 started to use EFi parts, and we could not even use EFi parts on the GV125 carb model)
Eg. GV250DR / GV250DRA = Air filter does not fit at all , it looks the same but they forced it to only fit 2018+ model and only Hyosung makes it.
GV125S/GV300S were identical in 2019-2021 (for plastics and fuel tank) , but as you found out now, due to newer Euro5+ laws passed in the EU, hyosung is doing GV125R . GV125X , GV125-SS EVO (USD forks) , they started to change little parts inside there and there even engines have newer casings. Injectors in GV300S will not even work on GV125-S , etc …. It starts to get complicated , as you go deeper.
So if you wanted to use a GV300S part, it is safer to go for 2018-2020 models before the 2021/2022 facelift. GV300-SS (GV300SA) definitely has a different style airbox and i can’t confirm yet it fits GV125-S due to throttle bodies ( i need to buy a GV300-SS throttle body to verify this )
They are changing GV125-S / GV300-S too fast for me to keep up lol.
However, don’t expect any power improvements using GV300S air filters, blame the stupid emissions laws in EU
This is the recent facelift 300S (SS / EVO ) – There is also an R model in Israel, looks same as GV125-R in France (Sima Moto is the main EU importer)
