I cleaned up the evap canister and associated plumbing, removed a bunch of stickers off of the chassis, replaced the perfectly good air filter with a K & N filter I got on super deal, took my almost brand new carbon fiber muffler from my 390 Duke and put that on. I then went for a superb evening ride. -

Nice pictures, I can’t believe you, me & you could be brothers in a former life, I got a ktm 390 as well, what are the odds on that?
Huh! Well my Dad did travel around the world a lot when he was in the Army!😉 The Dukes are awesome.

Now those risers i want them 😉 , who stocks them ? I could buy a lot of sets for us UK folk here, (thinking about it)
Did the cables stretch by any chance ? Sometimes new cables are needed if the height or distance to reach the controls is extended , ie (clutch line, brake lines, etc) and check switch gears are not being pulled when turning the bike left full lock and right full lock, just a shout!

I did the 1” up, and 1” back without any wiring/cable/ hose issues.https://roxspeedfx.com/collections/adv-dual-sport-dirt-bike-handlebar-risers/products/1-1-4-block-offset-risers-for-7-8-or-1-1-8-handlebar I paid a lot less for mine though.

BoosterPlug if you are interested. Hi Jim,
Thanks for the positive feedback – much appreciated.
I’m sorry, but have never developed the BoosterPlug for any of the Hyosung models, and they are unfortunately not on the list of future developments.
Have a nice day 🏍

Comment : I used one of your Boosterplugs on a KTM Duke 390 and was really impressed by it. Can you make one for a 2015 Hyosung GT250 (v-twin) EFI? I believe it is a Delphi system. -

Maybe a little quicker warm up and low speed torque. Nothing more.
Who doesn’t want that, every little helps!
Though back then i had a little fiddle with MS ECUs on other little bikes. But never dared to use a MegaSquirt ECU on an EFi 250 Hyosung (650 yes because very very few have gone turbo on their 650s so they do all sorts to the electrics!) But on a 250 factory bike, hmmm i would imagine i’d only use the MS ECU to custom tune the fuel setup if i used bigger injectors and modified the hell out of the intake (air filter) and exhaust pipes

A little jealous as we in the UK about to head in to a long sucky winter, so pictures like that only motivate me to get as much autumn ride time as possible even with the family relative who rides bikes on tow with me.

For some reason the bottom of picture wouldn’t load up.If you’re handy with a little bit of DIY skill, i think the bike will also look good (and keep a few stones or dirt anyway if it tries!) by fitting a GS500 Belly Pan or SV650 one. 😉

Around 5k to 9k rpm it starts to wake up and sling shot away lol but 10k is usually where it makes its peak power , for most cruisers to make power low down, this should not be able to rev to 13k revs yet it is a high revving bike in general and seems to like it (around the 9-10k mark is fine all day)
Though 11-13k is usually no go zone unless bike agress with it for overtaking purposes (slow traffic) , so i think the red zone is just there for momentary use. Lest the valves start floating & extra wear , but i digress sorry.
is it cold over there yet ? – It’s autum now and about 15-20c general temps , i miss summer already!

First time I rode this bike in full darkness and I realized that the headlight was pointed downward about 10 meters in front of me. That and the blinding speedo light made for a bit of a spooky ride! I already played with the speedo brightness, but for some reason it went full bright again. I haven’t had a chance to figure out headlight adjustment on the Naked yet. I sure am infatuated with the sweet power spread of 4000 to 8500. ( in 250cc terms)

Personally i have not had hands on that particular rare headlight as UK commonly gets the roundshape versions (classical look) but speaking of lights, have you had a chance to look behind it for some kind of thumb-based adjustment dial to rise or lower the beam aim or look at the screws holding the headight to the fork bracing , there must be a way to loosen 2 bolts (1 each side usually) then adjust aim, hold it there, then screw in tight. Usually does the trick on my GV Aquilas. The other GTRs i have have a thumb screw at the back as its too awkward to do it any otherway lol.

I found the headlight adjustment. It is on the back right side of headlight shell, tucked in there a ways. I gave it 2 turns anti-clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver, we shall see how much it moved it up. And I figured out why my speedo light defaulted to 100% brightness. I did not realize you had to start the bike after adjusting gauge brightness. -

It has been too long since I have had the GT out, (holidays, weather, visiting family) so it felt great to twist the throttle on the v-twin today. I love the powerband , and the sound out of the carbon muffler is terrific. The only pics today are of my new KLX 230. -
How are you liking the KLX compared to the Hyosung GT ?
To be fair it is a quiet season as most of us in the north aren’t riding too much until March , then it’s bike season all the way till autumn , i intend to make the most of it too 🙂
Meanwhile, babies stay inside getting a fix up and overhaul there and there 😉

Well Marcel, I am very content on my bike combo! I live in a unique area where anything over 60mph is a lot! Roads are very tight and twisty here, and we have many miles of amazing forest to explore. The GT 250 feels like a big grunty superbike on the road (🤔) and the KLX is my tractor for exploring waterfalls and rocky/hilly goat paths. -

Absolutely jealous , but i am loving your sceneries, you really do live in the right spots. KLX for the wilderness or bugging out 😉 , Hyosung for the fun!
Though if you’re brave, you can throw in some trail tyres on the hyosung and hold on tight!// Meditation doesn't mean you have to sit still....

I only have about 1900 miles on it. I have been doing more forest roads with my other bike. I still have my valve shim kit sitting on the bench. As long as it starts well, I am putting off doing valves until (if)I take a real trip on it. Otherwise I’ll do that on a cold dreary day this autumn. I did adjust out a bunch of throttle cable slop this past week. Still on my first oil and filter change. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to do 85 miles in these parts. 🙂

That’s very small, some of us in UK can easily do 1K in one month lol. (Heavy use , so to say!) – It loves oil changes sooner than the manual states , it makes it known by how smooth everything feels from gearbox , to clutch bite etc…. Do keep an eye on the clutch plates, its a torquey little twin 😉 , around 4K max is usually a good time to change the plates unless you have upgraded ones that may last a little bit longer.
Oh, it loves to eat brakes 😉 , so carbon ceramic or sintered ebc hh is usually a good call since you drive distant places on some occassions (if not all)

2015 GT250
I am not overly keen on the stock headlight shroud and it makes the headlight look even larger. I unscrewed the 4 screws holding it on and toned the headlight profile down a bit with a carbon wrap. 
No bike action today, but we did pick peaches.
Out and about on my Aprilia 250 last night.
Mills River, North Carolina.
For some reason the bottom of picture wouldn’t load up.
700 miles on the clock and a fresh oil/filter change. This bike is pretty fun to ride. Lots of character and an interesting power band.
From the other night.
Headlight adjustment was spot on.👍👍 ( and my pictures are cut off the bottom again, I’ll reload from work computer tmrw)
Another pretty day out!
Black & white!
