Faults:

In the 4 years I owned this motorcycle, I changed the speedometer 3 times, the rectifier 4 times, all the disks, the engine, the clutch, the headlight twice, the gear linkage, and all the indicators.

General Comments:

I loved this motorcycle when I got it, as it looked good and was mistaken for a Ducati many times.

Sadly it was very badly built, and components broke again and again.

I finally sold it after four years, in which time I could have bought 2 bikes for the price of all the parts.

Faults:

Brand new Hyosung GT650 S (2010 model). Complete power failure:

I recently bought the Hyosung GT650 S (2010 model) two days ago, brand new from a dealership. Yesterday after riding around for 10 minutes, I entered onto a freeway exiting the city, where all power just completely cut off (No longer working at all), without any warning. Battery was connected properly, and all fuse connectors looked fine, with no visible problem.

This left the bike with no lights, or visible power current at all. (Huge problem that the hazard lights do not work either when there is a problem with the bike, in dangerous situations).

I understand that this may not be a common problem, I just want others to be aware that there has been one incident already listed, in case this starts to occur a lot, and so you are wary when purchasing a GT650 S (2010 model).

General Comments:

Personally I think that Hyosung bikes are well presented, and I haven't ridden a more comfortable bike within the same sort of range, yet.

But I will not buy another bike from the manufacturer (Hyosung), as their wiring and connections will be forever questioned.
