Welcome Jasper!
Good choice on the GV250 being your first bike, depending on your 2009 model (They can either be carb or EFi injected , and also specify which ECU it has)
2001-2010 = Carbs
2008-2009 = Slow Transition to Injection system using SENTEC ECU
2009 = SENTEC ECU or DAEWOO ECU
2009-2014 = DAEWOO ECU
2014 onwards = DELPHI ECU
So Hyosung has made numerous revisions under the hood, but didn’t change the looks too much.
If unsure , just take a picture of the ECU you see on the battery tray or show us what you can see if its not easily accesible (never know what the last owners have been doing to it)
I could probably advise better on the electric department.
Also , some history of the bike on your next reply would be good? Any reciepts of work? What did they do ? What is the mileage? Did they do clearances etc?
Have a look at the Techinical Section of this forum first => Download the 250 Service manual, have a good read through it, as it can explain a lot of things to look out for maintenance wise, this will let you know if the bike is still up to scratch!
Most of all, enjoy it , ride safe as spring is nearly here. The winter has outstayed its welcome!
