    Sigh.. The SVC appears to be troubleshooting your GT on a trial/error basis.

    If you flip back a few pages, you should be able to find a post from men_in_jean as well as myself about this problem. We've both faced the same issue which was eventually fixed by replacing the RR unit. The charge retention of the battery is well over a month, since thats the longest i've gone without riding.

    Here are some suggestions for you,
    1. After you get the battery replaced, Ride for 50 - 60kms which should provide ample activity for the new battery unit.
    2. Return the bike back to SVC and ask them to take multimeter readings every half a day or so (make sure it indicates 14.08v).
    3. Let the SVC hold on to your GT for two days and ensure there's no sudden discharge.
    4. Before taking delivery (after the 2 day period), ask the SVC person to show you the MM reading once again.

    Did you make any electrical mods to the GT? (Lights, horn, HUD, etc) If yes, it may be a possible leak. If the RR unit is providing charge for the battery and after replacing both, still the battery discharges in two days - it is time to perform a complete wiring check of your GT and start looking for possible leaks.

          Santa,

          As long as the person doing the mod knows exactly what they are doing, there's absolutely no harm done. Infact the stock H1 lamps on the GTR is a 55w. I was never a big fan of the stock headlight intensity or throw of the GT.

          I was going to install a Truss 6000k kit with slim ballast, but backed out. The only downside of HID is the high initial draw compared to the OEM lamps. Although, this will surely not cause any short term issues, i was afraid it may reduce the battery life over a period of time. Given that the electrical component quality of Hyosung is no better than the infamous Ducati - didn't want to void my warranty.

          My above query regarding light mods were because, if the wires are exposed, improperly insulated, etc due to a botched up mod-job, then may potentially cause a leak which could explain why the battery discharges within 48hrs from full charge.

          • I fixed 2 55w h1 and h3 on the GT650R of some customer.

            Good Spread and Better than stock , No battery drains nothing at all.

            Also Long term HID effect--almost 4 yr old R15 , with 3.5A battery , Im running 2 35 W Hid's from 50k kms :-)STill on stock battery.. Got the Juice left ..

            I understand your concern on the RR unit and electricals of the GT's.Just need to use it smartly.

            • Oil change

              got my 2nd service coming up, should i stick with the oil that the SVC uses or should I get my own, I do quite a bit of city riding and the usual every sun ride..

                Hyosung SVC will be using Castrol Power 1 SAE 10W50, what I heard is that the performance is slightly better than Motul 7100 Fully synthetic.
                Haven't took it for a long ride after servicing to check the performance. You can also try for Double ester fully synthetic oils if you rip the bike like a racer with high rpm.
                People look for mileage... But I choose Mile Age

                  The backpack is secured with the help of not more than 3 bungee cords which is Rs.20 per piece. Has never even had the slightest slip of luggage at speeds of over 200k, crazy angles, battered roads and rains. I'd highly recommend for your daily use rather than tank pads (which is sure to scratch your new fuel tank)
                  or tail bag (never used one more than once, since i was not too fond of the aesthetics).

                  Thanks guys for that.. will scout for the bungee cords.. this weekend..

                  BTW, any pics of the bike with the laptop bad secured on the back with bungee cords ? am I asking for too much ..

                  Cheers

                          • Thank You!

                            Thanks Prateek for posting the pictures, I still dont understand how to get that done. I tried looking for some "How to upload pics" thread, but my unscientific (clueless) search didnt yield anything.

                            Santoosh thanks for the comments. I'll get in touch with you soon, hopefully we should be able to meet up sometime in good old Bengaluru.
