Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread
Already mentioned just my opinion. As an GT owner had seen enough in Bangalore. It's your money, it's your call.

Update on the gear,
Picked up the Sparx S-07 Skullz helmet on recommendation from a friend. Nice fit. Considering getting Zues gloves(with gauntlet) tried them on and they were surprisingly comfortable. Anyone using these? Want to know how these last..

Re: Just got a Hyosung GT650R..Dream come true!!
Saw a Black/grey GT650r last evening.. Saw first time on road.. Its a really good looking bike (attention graber for sure)
but the exhaust was way too loud and the dude was throttling way to much to show off.. Maybe some aftermarket exhaust..Leave a comment:

Hello All,
I'm Roshan from Bangalore, was a dream to own a SBK from the days when i had a poster of the Busa and Ducati Streetfighter on my wall way back in my school days. To this end i saved and saved, did part time jobs during my Engineering etc. I grew up on a healthy diet of Automobile info, frequent reader of Overdrive,Autocar etc. Have a huge collection of all seasons of BBC Top Gear UK, Owned 2 motorcycles (Both RE thunderbirds..differents versions) and clocked well over 35k kms on them.
Still the dream of one day owning a 600cc+ bike remained. Started working after graduation and after saving up some more finally had enough to pick up a used GT650R.From then on spent 3 days reading this thread from start to end and decided to take the plunge.(Yes i didn't really buy her new..Hope i'm welcome here
).The bike is a Red-Black beauty and looks stunning in that colour in my opinion.
Just picked her up today and what an amazing feeling it is. I did have safety gear from previous bikes and went to pick up the bike all geared up. After the formalities i had a good 60 kms ride on NICE road. I had made up my mind to keepa check on my right hand until a few weeks maybe till i get adjusted to the supersport riding position. Being 6'1 the reach for the bars isn't an issue and quiet comfortable. As decided i decided to not rev the bike hard, then soon realised the bike just sails to 120 and past with barely any throttle input and the revs well in check. well i hit around 140 on a straight empty stretch and went back to cruising at around 100.
I'm new to the Bangalore Biking scene and a shout out to the riders here. I would really like it if i get a chance to participate in open rides on weekends where i may join you guys. Thanks in advance
PS: The hunt for better gear is on. The 650 demands it
. Any inputs in this regard are appreciated

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread
Thank you for the suggestions on gear. I will go check them out.
On another note, I did an end to end back and forth on Nice road today along with a friend on his duke 200. Still getting used to the new riding position and looking for the perfect one for me. The ride was brilliant with great weather and even cloud cover prevented it getting too hot. The gear shift I noticed is slightly clunky(hard to shift in first 2 gears). Any inputs on that?.. I will be dropping the bike off for service the next I get a chance. Would help if I had some specifics if anyone has had experience in this regard.

Good to know.. congrats for your bike. It's no doubt a lovely machine..I love my GT still after clocked 10K KMS
Regarding the gears.. go for airoh helmet, alpinestar or komine jacket and pant and axo shoes. (best economical combo)Last edited by smoke007; 10-13-2013, 10:34 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread
My front tyre was changed few after 11 months... Clocked 10K km on that. Had a bulge... Was replaced under warranty. I think you can try to claim warranty...

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread
Hi guyz,
This week I suddenly noticed the some white color wires emerging from the middle of the rear tyre. I got it checked form the tyre specialist in my area and according to him, it a manufacturer's defect.
Bike details ;
2011 september model
9,200 KMS done
Tyre: bridgestone
location: new delhi
Anyone know will this defect will be covered under any kind of warranty??. And what's the cost of a new rear tyre 160/60/17? Lastly which brand should i go for?
Thanks in advance

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread
AFAIK it's all the same.. They claim the shocks are from Jap brand... Although I din see any branding. The rear seat is firmly fixed unlike the old one. Rest all are same.
