Reply To: I’m new here & to this bike brand
Hey,
Welcome to the website! It’s good to have you and yes go get the bike!
Because it is a carb version, you will be better with it because there is less worry about “million EFi Injected electrics” all over the bike. All you do is keep the carbs clean , upgrade stator & reg with good kits (not chinese kits!) , good brakes, tyres etc and it is a happy bunny.
Remember because it is a carb bike, (even EFi is included) make sure to always use 95 Fuel (we call them E5 here in UK) , do not use “E10” fuel because it has no benefit and it is the devils juice that will eventually give bikes hell (no pun intended)
Parts are okay at the moment as i have no trouble buying parts for 650 bikes when i fix them for customers here in UK , but i also try to offer some 650 parts in the shop for “common” maintenance tasks. However i can usually get any part from my supply chain.
If you see a 650 in your country for wreck/salvage/scrap yard – Buy it and you may have a donor bike for yourself if you need future backup spares etc…
Do not buy parts from sites like Hyosung “Spares / EU / NZ / Catalog” etc (it has blue & white design) , too many people have problems with those sites.
(that’s why this site has a dark design, so we have nothing to do with them, i do not do business with them anyway)
Hope this helps!
Make sure to go see the bike and ask the previous owner of any issues to fix before you can ride it but hopefully it has no issues and good luck!
