Never took it out on the freeway yet. it sits under my carport with a cover over it half the year. i did change the exhaust to a way, throatyer sound , little short muffler and it sounds great.

Welcome fella,
Don’t worry about the retirement, this is where i say “the fun begins” , where its all about you now 😉
Either the “famous” harleys or Hyosungs ? The GV650 is comfier with a “sporty engine” , so it is no slouch of a bike but does enough freeway miles using a big front sprocket to lower revs (if it has had a chain conversion done). So good choice on keeping the Hyosung all these years.
Again, welcome to the club

hi marcell, sorry i didnt respond asap, but i got that rsv flu shit and was pretty sick . but now im back and still going to work on my GV 650. so i followed your fuel /vac pictures from another member. those pics were just what i needed to put the lines to thier OEM spot. Now it only starts with the choke on all the way . give it any gas and she dies. now i took the carbs out two-3 mo ago and cleaned out the pilot jets only, they were plugged. and put back together again but still only starts with choke on . they most likely got plugged again. so im about to do the whole thing over again. do you think that it is the pilot jets still or should i do the total carb rebuild, im not very good at doing carbs at all. everybody says that when it only starts with the choke on that it is the pilots jets. are they all right. it ran great for months then one day in the middle of warm up it dies. and has not started since. if you could find time in your busy day to guide me a little . i have pictures too if needed. and one more thing the hose that comes from under the tank is just a drain flow to ground , so put a hose on it to drain to ground 12-16 inches or so???? thank you nick from WASHINGTON state .

i now have the tank off and going to remove the airbox and carbs again to clean the pilot jets again. i hope this does it . if not ill just get a rebuild kit and do it all , its only 20.00 dollars. for both carbs. but its above my pay scale . plus in kinda hurting for $$$ lately. so unless i have to .

Hi welcome to the club 😁
I take it you have checked all the easy things (no water in fuel, new fuel, clean filter, float height, fuel flow rate etc)
How did you set the mixer screw when you cleaned the carb , if one jet is blocked then it would need a full strip and clean as the rest are likely to need cleaning , might not need the rebuild kit just a can of carb cleaner and a full strip down and retune 🤔 it’s cheap to do and might work before you get a rebuild kit 🤔
Welcome to club again 😁 good luck
