Traded an E-bike for this 05 gv250 with under 5k miles or km if that’s what it’s reading. Located in the USA New Hampshire. Needs some TLC otherwise a good bike. Just gonna use it to get my endorsement and as cheap gas use. As I do have other bikes. As of right now it floods the front cylinder so I’m gonna replace the petcock and rebuild the carbs. Realistically that’s all I really have to do other than a complete tune up. And maybe some little things that are just preference for me.

Welcome to the club , hope you keep her for a while , they are fantastic to ride on.
The issues you mentioned can be resolved but ofcourse , you know what you are doing but i would say head over to “tutorials” section for topics regarding how to remove/refit airbox s the rubber intakes don’t split (ultra rare parts) and how to re-do the fuel lines too.
You made the right choice ditching the EV for the screaming ICE vehicle , good on you 👍

Yeah for sure I’ve been looking for as much info as I can. Also have a bunch of parts I’m watching in eBay as I haven’t found too many part sources in the US yet. Would like to find a wind screen and maybe a crash bar as well as feet boards. But that’ll come once I start working again health isn’t great which is why I wanted a smaller bike a few bikes I have are around 1000 pounds and I can’t move them easily also very short inseam so the days of leaning a bike on one foot are gone for now. Very happy I found this group and the Facebook group. Look forward to reading more about these bikes. Eventually I want to get some of the others as well.

if a part was not possible to get but do not mind an extra wait for a UK plane to hit the US, be sure to watch our ebay channel @evocrest or just send an email via this site contact page (since ebay doesn’t allow links in their platform)
I think the 250 isn’t too bad , if you like you can get the 650 version aswell which is also just as comfortable. Like you say , health comes first , so get yourself well 🙂

Thank you I will keep this in mind. And yeah it took away riding for 5 years for me just trying to get back in the saddle. I’ve seen a lot of these bikes going for cheap up my way because people just don’t try to repair things correctly so hopefully I can get a few cheap this summer. Nothing really concerns me too much not a mechanic by any means but I tinker with a lot of bikes. Have a BMW 1000 and Honda sport touring bike as well as an older silver wing and a 1969 cb175 that I have torn to pieces lol. Also getting my vstar back this summer. But I got to say I really like these hyosungs. Would really like to get my hands on the 250 sport bike and I love the looks of the gv650 love how mean it looks.
