😎 Greetings from Hawaii … i joke, i’m not in Hawaii but i’d like to be.
I’m a rider & a driver. Ridden & driven a lot of vehicles. Began at 5 or 6.
Never desired to work on bikes or cars; i’d rather start them & go motoring.
But now i prefer it. I can trust myself to do a great job & not charge myself a fortune for doing it.
Most of my road bikes have been Hondas, but owned Kawasakis & Suzukis.
Just purchased an Hyosung GT250R. Suprisingly good fun.
Bike needs some work but i have it running. Took her out today.
Had the rear step out, maybe oil … she came back into line really nicely.
I’m still getting a feel for the front; hanging of a bit more. It’s a good bike; feels bigger.
This site has helped me already; glad i found you. Cheers.

Hey, Glad you joined us!
Hope to see some great pictures on your future “project journal” topic of it , which brings me to ask …… what are your future plans for it ?
Other than staying married to it 😉
Welcome!

Thanks, sorry for late reply. Plans: Repair, rejuvinate & resurrect. My style of driving & riding requires a well maintained machine for safety, mostly. Bike was not loved as much as it deserved, which can wreck the next rider. I’ve changed Air Filter, Spark Plugs, Ignition Coils, Fuel Filter, Fuel Lines & Clamps, Cleaned & Lubricated F&R Brakes, Oil Flush & Oil Refill, Tightened Drive-Chain, CDI Unit, Fuel Pump, Fuel System Cleaner, Rasied Pegs, Scrubbed unused Edges of Tyres, Degreased & Washed. Bought Stator, Gold 520 Chain, Volt Regulator & Solenoid but not yet installed.
My plans: Bigger Air Cooler with a Fan & Switch, Brighter AUX Headlights & Switch, Respray All Farings, Marcel’s Carb Upgrade (#95 & #97.5 i think) & Carb Needle Modification & Carb Service, although carbs make me nervous – i don’t know much about them & don’t have vacuum guages, etc. Bought some carb service/repair parts but worried i’ll turn the wrong screw & stop the bike starting. I like riding a lot more than repairing … but my gut tells me the carbys were not looked after & need help.
