    Hi rakshasa. Front single disc brake pad cost Rs 5,000.I purchase it from the SVC and get it fitted by them. You can also purchase brake pads for GT650R from shops that deal in selling SBK accessories in your area.

      Rakshasa they can't charge more in Bangalore. It should be same. The service charge was 1200 rs when Satya Mitra was owner. I heard it's increased to 1500rs. Get the break up and check with DSK pune. Trust is not the option when one is dealing with Hyosung dealers!

        I second that. Never trust. You check your bike and work on your bike yourself. On inspection I have found that they've charged for parts that weren't fitted and also such horrible shoddy job on fitting.. Needless to say I took apart the fairings and checked everything myself and fitted it properly back in place.

            Hi madonurway. The 2014 GT650R model has carried forward the design styling of the 2013 model with added graphics.Parts quality is the same.DSK service is now better than earlier.Spare parts costs are expensive as they are imported.

                  Hi mehul.The tyres fitted are Michelin Pilot Road 2 costed Rs20,000 for a set when purchased in April 2014.These are Dual compound tyre that offer hard compound in the middle for added wear & tear and soft compound on the sides for better grip while cornering.

                  Front tyre size is 120/70 while rear size is 180/55.Front tyre fits but gap in the front mudgard becomes less due to the increase in sidewall from the earlier 60 to 70.Rear tyre fits the alloy wheel properly without issues considering the earlier width size of 160mm that came on the stock tyre.

                      Guys recently i did some modification to the handle bars of my GT650R. I have customized it to raise a bit now the riding position is much better almost equivatlent to Honda CBR250R. I have not installed any new handlebars to it instead used the stock handlebars.

                      Customized Handlebars

                      The only thing I did is the handlebars are now above the T which used to be below in stock bike out there.

                      ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                      Also I have done a new paint job to my GT650R along with custom vinyling. Have a look below...

                        Nice work on the paint job. Been considering getting a paint job on it but not yet. How does the handlebar feel handling wise?

                            Hi mehul.Good job with the vinyl stickering, it looks really great.Did you need to get the cables changed since you have raised the handle height?

                              Thanks Melroy for the compliment. Raising the handles didn't needed any cable change
