Azri is my name from Brunei, I’m planning on buying a 2007 Hyosung GT650R.
Lowest seat height & powers consider its 650cc is the reason why i’m planning on getting it, being 5 foot 5 I still tip teoing & don’t want to much power for the street/city riding that have stop & go traffic less than 15 min.
Being Carburetted, in 2022 would you guys still recommend it?
if yes, in terms of spare/replacement parts is it still available/easy to find?
much appreciate,

Hey,
Welcome to the website! It’s good to have you and yes go get the bike!
Because it is a carb version, you will be better with it because there is less worry about “million EFi Injected electrics” all over the bike. All you do is keep the carbs clean , upgrade stator & reg with good kits (not chinese kits!) , good brakes, tyres etc and it is a happy bunny.
Remember because it is a carb bike, (even EFi is included) make sure to always use 95 Fuel (we call them E5 here in UK) , do not use “E10” fuel because it has no benefit and it is the devils juice that will eventually give bikes hell (no pun intended)
Parts are okay at the moment as i have no trouble buying parts for 650 bikes when i fix them for customers here in UK , but i also try to offer some 650 parts in the shop for “common” maintenance tasks. However i can usually get any part from my supply chain.
If you see a 650 in your country for wreck/salvage/scrap yard – Buy it and you may have a donor bike for yourself if you need future backup spares etc…
Do not buy parts from sites like Hyosung “Spares / EU / NZ / Catalog” etc (it has blue & white design) , too many people have problems with those sites.
(that’s why this site has a dark design, so we have nothing to do with them, i do not do business with them anyway)
Hope this helps!
Make sure to go see the bike and ask the previous owner of any issues to fix before you can ride it but hopefully it has no issues and good luck!

Here we use Shell RON97 & we have a new the V-Power, am I safe in fuel?

Do you mean site like this sir? cause I’ve seen a lot of them with white & blue context.
Do you know a site that can be trusted or you can be our dealer yourself sir, if we want something?
In terms of finding a wreck/salvage/scrap yard, I’ll try me best cause its hardly to find now in our country.

Shell 97 is what we have here in UK also, VPower+ is good fuel , i actually use it all the time now.
Yes that is the website we discourage people from ordering = same guy , different domains (eu, catalogue, nz, au, etc..) , same design.
Yes i do not mind being a parts dealer for you , it shouldn’t be too difficult to ship to your country since i ship world wide anyway.
