Good job, well done.   😎

Hi Dave, if you are just looking for somewhere to have a ride, where there will be other motorcyclists. The Kent branch of the Norton Owners Club (NOC) meet from 8.00pm at The Dog and Bear, Lenham on 6th July. (1st Tuesday of the month)

They also meet from 8.00pm at Chequers, Doddington on 20th July. (3rd Tuesday of the month) Should meet some…[Read more]

AS you are trying a C spanner does the adjustment on your suspension consist of a series of holes, which are just under 6 mm diameter around the bottom part of the unit?

Yes I done that Simon but there is no noticeable difference. Battery fully charged, turn the key and system whirrs into life, the neutral and F1 light up, display keeps changing from F1 to 0, pull in the clutch, press the starter, it sounds like it might start then the clicking takes over and the neutral light flickers on and off. The display…[Read more]

I still doubt that there is a recommended setting, if your gt is like my gv there are only 5 settings and mine was on 2 to start with so only had 3 options.(I am 90 kg). Follow the first advice and put it up 2 notches to start with.

My advice would be take your pillion out for a lot of low speed urban riding with lots of corners, roundabouts,…[Read more]

Thanks for helping Simon.

I haven’t joined the wires together, in fact I cut them different lengths so that they wouldn’t touch each other. They need to be joined up do they, I’ll do that next as taking the switch off has made no difference.

As I am not a high mileage rider I have a battery maintainer, so I know the battery is fully charged.…[Read more]

I doubt that they will recommend a setting because there can be such a big difference in people, are we considering 8 or 18 stone. As a rider are you experienced at carrying a passenger, plus is the passenger an experienced pillion rider, if not you might be fighting them for control of the bike and if they are heavier than you they might be…[Read more]

I recently adjusted the suspension on my GV650. I moved it 2 notches and next ride out I knew at the first pothole that I’d overdone it. But I think by moving it a couple of notches the difference was probably easier to notice.

You give us old returnees to biking to much credit, there weren’t all these events back in our day.  🙂

Dale, did you tell anyone on here about it?

What’s the Brightona and when is it?

Welcome John with another GV 650.

That’s you in Norfolk, Jason in South Wales, Paul in Folkestone, Kent and me in Surrey. We certainly seem to space ourselves out well around the country.

Hope you are pleased with your bike when delivered, mine was delivered from Manchester and I was very happy with the condition when I received it as I had…[Read more]

I thought Tomas was asking for the overall width of the handlebars, maybe the prospective buyer has to get the bike down a side passage or has some other access problem.

But it’s not as simple as it sounds as on my GV 650 the handlebars are 34 inches wide but the brake levers poke out further making it more 36 inches wide. However if it is just a…[Read more]

Jason, I am similar to you in that I’m an aged returning biker (62) who got one of these for fair weather riding because I liked the look and the fact it’s a bit different.

There are a couple on here well clued up on Hyosung but mainly on the 125 and 250 versions. Marcel certainly knows a lot and I think he runs this website.

There is some…[Read more]

Welcome Jason

Sorry to hear about your health problems, hope you get out for plenty of rides as we all know it’s good for the soul.

Note that you’re not keen on the exhaust or rear end look. Have to say I actually like the look and sound of the massive exhaust, give it a chance, maybe it’ll grow on you and remember you are not looking at the…[Read more]

Just a thought.

I once had a bike where the light wasn’t in the correct position to pass the mot.

As I pointed out that the light was original as I’d had it from new and the bike was around 15 years old. The mot examiner was a decent guy and we worked out that the headlight glass was for European Motorcycles and all he did to get it through the…[Read more]

Panic over, I’ve got to the main fuse to replace it and everything seems back to normal.

One strange thing I discovered was that both rubber bands that are supposed to keep both fuse holders in position were broken meaning the fuse holders were free floating with just the cables keeping them roughly in place behind the plastic panel.

Have you managed to fix your bike.
