2007 Hyosung Aquila GV650 review from Canada
"Love the ride, but hate the service support"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Brakes are completely shot after only 3800 km total (bought new).
General comments?
After only 3800 total km and only 2000 km after the initial 1600 (first service) km inspection, the brake pads are completely gone and the rotor disc so damaged it needs replacing. The dealer was unsympathetic and declared I was riding the brakes. I know I don't, and was stunned at how quickly and badly the brakes wore through. I cruise and don't race, and have been extremely careful with the ride.
I love the bike and the ride, but if I have to replace brakes after every 3800 km, I am ditching it.
