Try older Vulcan bikes. i did not try it but be ready to cut some metal to fit
No one that I know off so far but you can measure your pipes (Hyosung made both dual outlets and single outlets on the engine downpipes that connect to the OEM bazooka)
eg. if it’s just a single 51mm outer diameter pipe, you can get a slip on exhaust that’s full size from the likes of BlackWidow UK or MTC exhausts UK ?
I had to ask, what’s up with your current exhaust system ? Can we see what’s going on ?
Yes the further back you pull the bars, the longer the cables you may need unless you are able to carefully find a way to reroute everything ?
or if the backrest can have its cushion pad removed , then find some aftermarket pad thats much much thicker and get it stitched up in some leather hide , this should push you further forward of the bike?
Post a picture of your ride to see what setup you have currently too , that would be cool to see.

Hello, Check your email now 👍
Wow!😱
How many miles is that?
Thanks for the dropbox link, i can see what’s happening there, but i could not tell if the later forks have a permanent retainer there or not but i suspect , they made a slight error on the document about what tools to use. Is there a CIRCLIP inside that’s holding the stoppers or is it threaded inside ? Like how a sportsbike has a mono shock with threads for 2 locking adjusters to stop the spring shooting forward & for adjustment.
if not, is there a big BOLT under the fork , to undo it ? , that may separate the chrome tubing from the caliper mount – Not all Hyos have this bolt but worth checking.
Also, if it helps,. have a look at older videos of the SV650 and older Suzuki GSXR bikes, they used the same KYB forks as Hyosung does. Both of them still use KYB forks to this day but they have gone through many variations! – Try 1990s SV and GSX videos , and see how they took it apart , i could not locate a picture of separating the two tubes on your GV. As frustrating as it sounds, I love fixing the hyosungs but forks are the most annoying part of the job!
Between 104 to 114 , depends on swingarm. I usually confirm this with each order. Hyosung just released a GV125-X model and GV125-EVO model, they keep making alterations to the swingarm to this day, so it’s tricky to give you an exact figure
Hence it’s better a long chain then cut to fit 👋
Some swingarms may be the same but the actual adjusters may change ever so slightly
GV125-X no longer uses a chain , it uses a BELT! – Sigh…
Time for a new mod ….belt drive upgrade , stay tuned.
Can you post a picture please? , may have an idea if it can be saved.
Welcome fella , post a picture of your sweet ride!
If the bike kills a massive reg within the 1st ride, we have a problem! = Check all electrics and test your stator (can’t stress it) , if the stator is wanning, your massive reg will pop.
The “teeny” grey one was discontinued & re-called by hyosung as it was causing fires.
Make sure the plugs face the back tyre.
So that rain from above ^ or rain water from front tyre < ==> isnt trying to rust up your plugs.
The shop did say the regs will be a monstrosity and said “get creative” fitting.
Go back to the shop and look at the customer galleries for correct fitment , grounding to frame isn’t needed , don’t cut anything! – super strong zip ties help too.
Hyosung in 2020 onwards put their update regs UNDER REAR TYRE! (good for cooling but man , they get wet fast!)
Hey, the SV650 restrictor kits may fit but be prepared to make alterations to your bike if you have. It could be easier to source as SV650 seems more wide spread than the GT650 anyway (it came out earlier than GT650)
So ive followed the orange and black wire that was broken and it connects to right handle switches. I tested the wire to the nearest connector and got a reading/continuity. I then repaired it (new 2.8m spade connector). Now after installing cable, still no spark. All the switches on the rh seems to work, killswitch stops the starter, starter button cranks the engine, and headlights work. Im not sure on what to do now?. Do the switches need further testing?.
Coils (are they new?) ==> Check the Plug cap wire is not broken (stops the signals going to the plug)
Stator Unit (wrong one ordered?) (yes it does happen!)
Side Stand Switch = If bypassed, check again. Trust me, even crud under the tape will turn the CDI off from sparking the coils.
Clutch Switch = would NOT recommend bypassing it as “fake neutrals” can happen and bike falls down as soon as you press start , ask how i know!
If the switch is gone, its a quick cheap replacement.Now right there above ^ are what would stop your sparks.
Get a friend to push you down the street ==> Drop to 1st gear , if the bike won’t start from a push & bump, then its defo the above ^
Harness = I will assume you’re going over it like a fine tooth comb where no single wire going to CDI has a breakage. Even the wires for the coils (see link i gave above for CDI layout)
Worst enemy is CDI replacement.
The feature was removed a while ago not to drag & paste in to the reply box as a security measure (hence you don’t really see much spam-bots on here, as i was strict), I will find a way to re-introduce it, bare with me on that one.
For the time being, you would have to manually add picture using Add Media => Find the source where it is (eg. in your ECU folder of your phone’s Gallery where you downloaded the google images to ?) , sorry for the hassle! As long as the image is uploaded , it will actually paste it inside the white text reply box for you and you can move them around the words as you see fit.
It sounds silly, can you disconnect the ignition barrel and remove ALL relays from the bike, then fit one part AT A TIME , until you see the problem?
Also, me and simon usually recommend stripping the bike down if possible and clean every single connector on the bike (some plugs have rust, some plugs have crud in them , all stuff starts to go hay wire and last thing you want is a toast ECU)
Sometimes it could be as silly as indicators themselves being the issue (LED? or Original Indicators) ==> connectors acting funny ==> your relay acts funny in tandem
When you take the harness off , you want to be sure there is no funny burnt smells incase of a bad kink or wire touched each other inside or the frame.
If you have an alarm system = Bin it. Get a professional to help you install one that uses its own battery power and does NOT interfere with your harness / other sensors but because it is a public forum, try not to discuss any security devices you have on here. Email us if unsure to discuss security matters of the bike or get an approved professional installer to have a look, that the police trust. That will help your insurance premiums too! But i am digressing here!
Chain on the rear wheel is too slack (believe it or not, the correct adjustment of the rear wheel chain helps a LOT)
Re-adjust the clutch on the link below:
How to adjust clutch cable – Hyosung GV125C GT125R GT250 GV250
Next, dump the oil => Look at your clutch plates and measure your springs, you will be glad you did, the 250 eats clutch as fast as it does on brake pads too. So hence the service manual says around every 4,000 miles , open the clutch and check.
Also thrust bearing inside the clutch could be worn down (easy item to reply) , here is more:[Tutorial] Hyosung GV/GT 125 & 250 Clutch Plates Replacement How To
If possible , try to get Motul 7100 , it is an oil that i always recommend on the Hyosungs, and it’s good for the air/oil cooled engines. If not, try also Silkolene Pro 4 oil would be my 2nd pick. and use fresh oil filter each time.
Oil Change tutorial below (as i’ve seen owners drain oil with the wrong plug and loose their gearbox!)
[Tutorial] How to Change Oil & Filter on Hyosung GV + GT125/250 +R
The manual does say, if you use the bike a lot , change the oil more often and use “premium” oil like i mentioned above, the engine will thank you a LOT.
Simply doing a clutch plates change , does wonders too and you extend the life of the clutch,
Check your clutch cable isn’t too old or kinking, a new one rolls smoother than a 15yr old clutch cable that may have internal rust and dirt inside it that you can’t see.
Just ideas here!
Hi Marcel. I can’t seem to find a way to insert media which I have in my Google Photos. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Download the photos to PC / Tablet storage or Phone Storage , then click “Add Media” on this forum to manually add them 🙂
I think it’s time i find an easier way to do it soon while i revamp the site later in the year (time is my enemy!)
Hi all just find out tha my amazing neighbour do some hole in cable just behind the master cylinder unfortunately I can’t see till I went to Check cameras so I double checked and see it Thank you all anyway for the advice Unfortunately the world it’s full of sneaky bastard
Put the bike inside the house from now on and make him pay . Hate people like that , is he expecting you to die on the streets when your brakes fail?
