Bike Model = : GT250R 2016
My name is Jared. I live in Texas, about an hour drive north from Houston.
Hopefully I will be able to get a lot of useful information here since I bought a used 2016 GT250R a few days ago and it is in pretty rough shape.
While I can get it to start and idle after several tries, when I open the throttle it will die before it gets to 3000 rpm unless I immediately let off, and there is the obligatory smell of fuel, a steady F1 light along with a FI on the LCD.
The man I bought it from had purchased it from a police auction and it shows. No key to fuel cap and fuel cap lock busted out, no key for the rear seat but someone did put in an ignition key assembly. No start button. Appears to be missing, though it does start by momentary contact to the starter contacts directly under the seat.
So I will have a lot of work to do.

looks like I am having a bit of difficulty navigating this thing. I had tried to paste some text from another forum I had posted in, then noticed it put the address of the other forum and tried to edit my post to delete that and it wont let me. sorry

Welcome to the club!
Bare with me to deal with the look of the site , it wont change much on the forum but i will try to make it a bit more simplified than it is now. Your post was edited for you it was a good call!
If you start going through everything properly , then you can start a topic for separate issues as it could be used as future reference for other owners who may have done the same auction deal you did in your country. Hyosung 250cc motorcycles have gone through various revisions, so while it looks the same OUTSIDE , the core engine, electrics have seen many changes as Hyosung was using different sensors, different ECU’s to try manage faults that owners reported until they settled with a Second variation of a Delphi system going forward (250 had carbs, EFi-Sentec, EFi-Daewoo, EFi-Delphi (1st generation) , EFI-Delphi (2nd generation that had a revision of its the harness , stator system etc, ) – You can see why having individual topics could be easier to narrow things down each time (ie. one talks about the pump and the other talks about fairings etc) , or if it helps you, you can make a singular journal style topic where everything falls in to one mega thread.
When i saw Green, i had to look twice as i thought i saw a Ninja 250! – It’s a Hyosung, pretty odd colour on a Hyosung bike. Will you keep that colour? or sleeper black?
Welcome to the club once again, I see that you have now busted through the Registration Gates by yourself, so whatever you did, don’t change haha.

strange. it only seems to let me post when it feels like it. I can write a single line, but most times it tells me your reply cannot be created at this time.
It’s a mess! I intend to sort it out in stages, but you seem to reply OK so far !
