Description
The Hyosung GV125 Aquila is widely regarded as one of the best 125cc v-twins ever made, but factory cost-cutting left it with a major bottleneck: the 428-pitch drivetrain. In its stock form, the GV125 often feels “under-geared,” screaming at high RPMs just to maintain 60mph. Our #HyoRiders Exclusive 520 Conversion Kit is the definitive performance overhaul, replacing thin, high-maintenance hardware with a heavy-duty setup that finally allows the v-twin to breathe.
💎 Touring Performance with the Daily Reliability!
This isn’t just a maintenance swap; it’s an engineering upgrade. By moving to a 520 pitch, the chain surface area is significantly increased, distributing the load more evenly and virtually eliminating the “stretch” issues that plague 428 kits. Real-world testing by seasoned GV125 owners has shown that this conversion transforms the bike’s character: top speed is increased to a potential 85mph+, and 5th gear finally feels like a true cruising gear rather than a desperate struggle for revs.
| Optimised Gearing Accelerate to 70mph faster than stock. |
85mph+ Potential Unlock the true top-end of the v-twin. |
| High-Carbon Steel Custom 520 sprockets for maximum life. |
Japanese Gold Chain RK/DID/EK Quality for zero-drama touring. |
📜 Confirmed Fitment Guide (Carburettor Only)
The results speak for themselves. We have sold hundreds of these kits to riders who want a “Fit and Forget” solution. This is a 100% direct “Swap & Go” for the carburettor years. Forgo the 428 skinny chains and trust the heavy duty 520 versions with more meat for those long distance touring , and you can trust them to keep you going if you also carry heavy luggage.
❌ NO EFi: Does not fit 2019-2026 EFi Bobbers (Different engine/chassis).

To reach the full speed potential of this gearing, your engine needs to be crisp. Pair this kit with our [High-Performance EBC HD Clutch] for the ultimate gearbox GV125 setup.
🔧 Expert Installation & Gearing Notes
This kit is supplied as a complete bundle. You don’t need to source anything else to complete the conversion:
- Premium Components: We include a custom rear sprocket (Silver or Black), a Yamaha-spec front sprocket, and a high-tensile Gold 520 chain.
- Hardware Included: Includes a genuine Hyosung Front locking washer, plus 4x stainless rear sprocket bolts to replace your rusty originals.
- The Gearing Win: By moving to 520, we provide a more stable rotating mass that handles v-twin pulses significantly better than the flimsy 428 standard.

This was my major upgrade on my GV125. I can’t recommend this enough. Has greatly improved the performance, especially up hills.
Moustache Man –
Took out the 125 for a test spin and wow i am absolutely amazed.
I’m amazed at the rev range that it now provides, i can cruise at 2500rpm doing 30mph in gear 5, it actually hits 60mph in gear 3 which is crazy! I can cruise at 70mph at 8000-8500 revs, whilst beforehand I would only be able to just hit 70 at max revs, around 10500 to 11,000rpm. This means i can safely commute to work with the bike running at 7000rpm doing about 60 to 65mph which is fast and means the engine is under a lot less stress!!
Those gains are insane, however, the top speed is even more impressive. I was under the impression that the sprocket kit wouldn’t add power, but just shift the power band instead. Which is actually kinda correct. With the stock bike, I only managed to hit 70, barely 71mph.
With the new kit installed, I managed to hit 80mph today on a motorway. That’s insane! So fast for a 125cc!
Thanks for your amazing customer service, keeping me updated throughout my delivery
And thank you for the sprocket kit, it has sure made me happy this christmas. The bike is wonderful, and the acceleration too omg! It’s crazy! It gets to 0-60 in no time
Absolutely wonderful, would highly recommend this modification, so cheap and the chain is a lovely golden colour. Plus the chain seems a lot thicker than the stock one, so it’ll definitely take a couple thousand more miles than the stock one. I love it!

Upgraded the chain and sprockets on my GV 125 c, to the 520 chain, and what a difference it makes. From pulling away for the first time after fitting the differene was clear. Smoother and faster transference of power to the back wheel through the gears and fourth really does feel like fifth.
Really happy with this feels like a new bike. Cheers Marcel 😛

I have to agree to pretty much all Moustache Man has to say. Not had the chance to hit the motorway yet but was running up hill at 55 in fourth. Previously would have been struggling to sit on 50 uphill, I am bigger than average so it is to the bikes credit that it manages this :p.

After reading the reviews and speaking to Marcel I decided on getting this kit and I’m glad I did. Great quality parts and I have noticed a change in performance. I can now get 90mph out of it, which is crazy for a 125 cruser! It will comfortably ride at 70 all day and acceleration has improved to for safely getting away from idiot drivers haha! Would highly recommend

the 520 kit does actually work it changes your gear shifting altogether 5th is more like a 6th gear
i have had 70mph out of my aquila gv125 2008 reg and im around 18.5 stone.
of course i in my last review did not think much of the kit but i was in the wrong ( FOR THAT IM TRULY SORRY)
MY CARBS WERE AT FAULT
standard main jets are supposed to be both 87.5 ……………………….MINE WERE 82.5 BOTH
standard pilot jets are supposed to be both 15…………………………..MINE WERE 17.5 BOTH
so after doing the upgrade mentioned on here main jets front 90 and rear 92.5 MAIN JETS
and PILOT JETS 15 and 2 1/2 turns out with the mixture screws PLUS balancing the carbs .
fitting irridium plugs
fitting upgraded ngk plug caps found on here
my bike has gone from doing 55-60 at a push slowly………….TO A VERY FAST PICK UP AND 70MPH AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY ITS FAST ENOUGH….
LASTS WORD GOES OUT TO MARCEL FOREST HE IS TRULY A GOOD GUY .
Balazs Wittman –
