      Hi there,

      Just wondering if anybody has a fuel gauge for the clocks on a naked GT 250, can’t find 1 anywhere.

      Cheers

      Hmmm, this is a difficult object to buy at present

      But….. why not get the GV125  Aquila Gauges we have (though i can’t guarantee the fuel gauges work) but they did move when testing the bikes.  = You can use the GV Dash to rob bits from

      This is assuming ofcourse you still are using the “Twin Dial” clocks rather than the “All-Digital” versions that came later for EFi 250s anyway.

      Hi mate,

      I’m using the twin dial clocks but the 250 clocks are different to the aquilia mate the fuel gauges are a totally different shape I’d have to send you pics when I’m home at the weekend to explain it properly, I have some 125 clocks and the fuel gauge is different. I’ll send you some pics at the weekend to explain properly.

      Cheers

      You might have the early rare pre-650 version  without the “temp gauge”    on 650 ones but 250 ones have no temp gauges so put fuel gauge in the middle spot , i see what Korea did there and change the wiring loom too!

      Hmm i suppose , it might be possible to resolder something up when you take from a 125 in to a 250 dash casing! 😬☠

      Yeah I bought the clocks in parts from various breakers In Germany but didn’t realise it was the 650 black dashboard part with a temp gauge and not a fuel gauge I’d bought. Got a couple of 125 fuel gauges gunna see if I can cut one to the shape to fit the 250 clocks. I’ll let you know how it goes. Temp gauge seems to work in the same way and well as a fuel gauge though at moment 🤣🤣

      Had to cut the fuel gauge to the same shape as the temperature gauge to fit the 250 clocks but all’s well now they look and work a treat

      Excellent bit of work

      I won’t lie the twin clocks on the pre-650/early 250 era just look good! 😍

      Well done on the hack sir , well done.  How is it going so far   (i saw you said they work,  but has the fuel gone down next time you rode it ?)

      You should defo make a tutorial of this ,  I know someone will be thank ful for your talents and hacks if they ever see your threads

      Those they preserve Hyosungs on the road i respect more , than some kid who bins it/scraps it over small issues lol

      The 650 is an even smaller club in the UK , i will do some more topics soon just so i don’t ignore them.

      The GV650 carby doesn’t have a rev gauge , so i will find a way to nicely retrofit a GT gauge on to it.  Then make a topic about it. Why the early 650 GV Cruisers didn’t have a rev gauge to start with surprises me but i digress!

      Thanks guys,

      I’m chuffed as didn’t want to buy another set of clocks just for the fuel gauge. Very very carefully and take you’re time is all I’ll say it’s quite fiddly and delicate to cut the gauge plate 🤣 lol. The gauge worked on the wiring loom but I can’t ride it yet as rebuilding the front cylinder head so I’ll have to see when I’ve finished the engine.
