Reply To: Anyone know where I can get a new one of these?
I have the starting clutch system in stock and i can remove it from the donor bike next week to ship over to you, just click “contact” at the bottom of the site and send us your address for shipping quotes and any used parts you want.
The teeth broke off because of either
- Engine is hydrolocking (fuel is leaking in to cylinders!)
- Starter Motor too tired (replace it)
- Starter Motor Relay (replace it , just for a peace of mind) , weak ones or bad ones will make the engine crank much slower.
I’ve had a hyosung that lasted 50,000 miles before i went to a different Hyosung , but it was more like “me being OCD” and overzelously maintaining the bike (What she wants, she gets right away lol, i don’t want till later to find problems or i just upgrade certain bits there and there) . I am digressing….
2. Fuel Leaks
Looks like you will need to rebuild the carbs (if its a carb) (as 2008/2009 is the “switch over year for carb to EFi) and make sure the floats are set at the correct height too and they don’t leak out. (A full carb rebuild kit is must)
— Replace fuel tap (if it says “OFF” on the GV tank, disconnect the hose and see if fuel comes out) —- do this tank away from the bike! (fire hazard & fuel )
— Replace vacumm pump. It is a japanese Mikuni type but …. “weather & age of years” can make the rubbers brittle inside , so instead of trying to rebuild the pump, easier to replace it with a new one and it should be the “last defence” from shooting fuel towards the carbs when bike is fully turned off
IF it is EFi system , actually , it’s all carby , i seen the pictures above ^ – It’s a carb edition. So ignore EFi references above ^
The picture of you holding a part in your hand belongs to the gearbox , did you drain oil from the wrong plug then ?

I really hope you put it back where it normally is if you drained oil via the wrong plug (Korea could have made the 2 plugs under the bike further apart but engineers did what they had to do i guess!)
Usually a triangle plate with a plug under the bike means oil drain, as there would be a sieve/strainer hiding behind it – Not all brands like this anyway,
