I sometimes look for a cheap ‘Travelodge’ deal – Sunday bookings are often very cheap throughout the U.K – then go exploring through Sunday and Monday, as I’m getting too old now for extended day trips!
I was bookmarking several glamping sites for 2024 because in the past i always used Booking. Com App to make any bookings for 24hr stays , i will keep travelodge in mind for Sunday excursions!
The DR isn’t too much different from its older sister GV250Ei , but it is mostly in Japan, the UK has never seen a DR model and probably won’t unless it gets EURO5/6 certification and some EU importers are only doing GV125-S/GV300-S models for now. it’s wild. Hence i never got the manual yet but i’ll try to dig for one! or even ask my wholesellers who give us parts. The main importer in UK is Sinnis Bikes , they do not even have a DR or GV300S , they are doing 125cc for now, it is slow!
Why not let us know what parts you would like to change or service ? – I very much doubt korea would change their rules too much on DR vs Ei , because DR still uses oil cooler from its older sister and still uses same engine valve heads (cylinder heads). This means “some” of the service manual rules for the older models can still apply to the DR model
I’ve toured around the UK enough times even as far down as near London then back up to the North West England but i’ve never been to Scotland , so since you said “Berwick is well worth a visit for anyone heading north or to Scotland.” , you might give me a reason to do so in 2024!
I wonder if i can do it on a scooter! From Yorkshire Dales starting point , or i may just drag the Hyosung out. I shall see.
Happy to see you out & about , even if its freezing winter now (yes it was 5c last night , so im sure its even colder up there!) = Stay warm lol.
I won’t lie SYM has built a reputation these days in the 125cc market, they pretty common around the north west now. I would argue you would have more happier miles with it than a lexmoto!
Great pics! 👍
Wonderful news 👍❤
Be sure to share your project pictures soon 😉 , ride safe now!
Congrats on your test! Stay in the hyo family lol. Keep the 125 for winter or short runs as i own one myself for just that or as a work horse sometimes (if car isn’t being used haha) , but keep an eye for a GT650 or GV650 🙂
On your GV125C – Few pointers if it helps;
- Float height 7mm sitting down (means float is gently resting on the needle) , 17mm lifted up… But 8mm is a generally a max limit when the carb is sitting on its diaphragm covers.
- Tank Tap = Check OFF means OFF (Disconnect the hose safely and ensure the tap still doesn’t leak out fuel when its in OFF mode)
- Change Floats = If in doubt about them
- Change “Needle Seat” and “Float Needles” , these 2 are literally the only items that will stop the fuel coming in after the floats have risen (extra fuel will just overflow to cylinder overnight sometimes) – Hence “float jamming” being a common thing on carb motorcycles , it just means we have to extra be serious with them (unlike injectors lol)
140 psi via a flexi hose should be OK to make it “start” at minimum, the hard metal pipe is pushed down as we crank the engine or it shoots at you!😉 (Just make sure the metal bit uses a Spear Shape rubber tip.
Red = Power
Black with Grey Stripe = NegativeALL GREY = Dash Illumination (must also use ALL GREY wire from the harness)
Now does it turn on ?
Disconnect the red 9pin plug as the wires are mismatching pins from the harness
Red wire
Black/White wireThat should be bare minimum to turn it on ? Try that? first. Or open the dash unit to check signs of it being fried but i hope it isn’t
Sometimes the live wire to turn on the LCD will be orange or orange/red
Not until next MOT December 24
Some garages might ignore it but others who have dealt with a Hyosung before , might expect to see it. I’m not too familar with Spain Emission laws as i am not a resident there but i would imagine that because its the EU, there might be a little stricter than UK, as currently in UK , it can be removed on carb models but i usually don’t encourage taking it off on EFi bikes (Some EFi bikes moan if it senses the exhaust sensors notice a change in air quality but i digress)
I don’t have a picture but the throttle cable needs a “hook” the metal pieces you are trying to attach, then it hangs on the carb body as every hyosung carb i have own , its “choke” and “throttle” assemblies are usually mounted to the exterior of the carb body (that is assuming the last keepers didn’t bodge it!)
Can we see it ? and what parts about it does it not work? or you just mean a totally dead unit (wont even turn on) ?
I don’t exactly have RX125-D manual as I have personally moved to different cloud storage , so i will upload more manuals soon on this forum.
Why not post some pictures of your situation or explain what’s going on ? (Pictures really help also)
I have also attached the older RX125 manual below, (it has a wiring diagram) (Hyosung didn’t change too many things on older RX models vs the later RX125D models) , so “most” information should be correct but like i said , i don’t know the full story of your bike hence I was asking what’s up with it.
Do you have any laws in your country that require it ? (ie. emissions check)
Sometimes it cleans the soot from exhaust (a little bit!)It sounds stupid but what if you could make a custom metal bracket to join the dash unit to the fork unit like “extension”. then use a rubber shroud (“suzuki harness boot”) to hide the plugs and wires from rain?
Basically the bar is too high for the OEM tacho to reach the fork clamp unit ?
But the dashboard still works ?
Closing this topic as we have identified it for you based on the email you have sent us 🙂
PS. Don’t forget about “intake pipe – orings!”
Intake Pipe O-RING (Inlet Boot Seals) x2 – GV125 GT125 RX125 GV250 GT250 Hyosung
Hey,
On Amazon, you will need something like this below:
It comes in many names
- Stand Lift
- Cruiser Jack
- Motorcycle
- Hydraulic Lift
- Motorcycle Scissor Stand
Those would be ideal for motorcycle cruisers/bobbers with low profile exhausts
Do you have pictures you can attach here so we can see what changes you have been doing ?

Likely 190mm end to end but you would be better off to measure the distance between the engine end —– to —- foot shifter end.
That way it is more accurate as the “gtr” allow another plate to go on top of it , then re-extend the footrests even further , and since there is multiple position holes in the “gtr” plates, it can affect how long you want the shift rod.It should be okay to slide a small section of the rubber grip off , because i am sure the bars for hyosung are “hollow” inside to allow mods like “Bar Ends”
They “always” had Factory Bar ends on their older GV bikes and older GT bikes. It was only the GTR (sports bikes) that had “solid” clip on bars that did not allow bar ends to be fitted.
So think if you slice the rubber ends off , you should be OK. But i would advise to buy some spare “grip rubbers” for throttle and clutch incase the old ones are being difficult. I doubt Hyosung uses “pro-taper” grips anyway.
