Hyosung Dual Sport reviews

This bike I purchase brand new for $2500 in 12/2019 HAS BEEN A MISERABLE LIFE RUINING BAD EXPERIENCE. IT CONSTANTLY NEEDS FIXING OR PARTS YOU CANT GET PARTS IN USA PERIOD. MUST ALL BE SHIPPED OVER AT YOUR EXPENSE. AND SLOW SHIPPING TAKING WEEKS WAITING ON PART I AM LEFT STRANDED WITH NO BACK UP VEHICLE. I CANT FIND ANY MECHANICS WHO KNOW OR EVEN WANT TO TOUCH REPAIRS. SO I MUST LEARN TO DO IT WITH ANY HOW TO MANUALS LIKE EVERY OTHER BIKE HAS LIKE CHILTONS THE PARTS YOU DO ORDER HAVE NO PICTURE OR BOLT SIZES LISTED JUST PART NUMBER AND I PIC TO FIGURE OUT WHERE AND IF ITS RIGHT PART. NOT ONE THIS TO DO ON THIS BIKE IS EASY EVERYTHING MUST BE REMOVED TO DO A JOB LIKE SPARK PLUG YOU SPEND A DAY TAKING ALL THE PARTS OFF JUST TRYING TO GET TO IT IF YOU CAN EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO REMOVE AIR FILTER HOUSING THAT ON TOP OF SPARK PLUG EVEN JUST TIGHTEN HANDLE BAR IS AN ORDEAL AS IN BOLT LOCATION NOT EASY TO GET AT SO U MUST LOSEN AND MOVE PARTS FIRST JUST TO TIGHTEN IT WITH THE TOOL FROM TOOL KIT WHICH WONT GIVE U ENOUGH TORQUE TO TIGHTEN IT RIGHT SO HAD TO GO BUY LONG ALLEN WRENCHES WITH HANDLES. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST 8 grand on repairs towing tools parts shipping time lost from job waiting on parts and not included are the countless hrs repairing it and all the stress of trying to find part waiting on order lost time work and I cant sell it not 1 response from a person willing to spend money over 500 on a perfectly running bike. Cant afford another bike because im always having to buy parts or shipping always having to take tools just incase i break down and wondering if i will make to my destination and back has ruined the joy of riding a motorcycle and financially broke me and now today bike broken cant afford parts cant work to earn money for new parts with a non running bike. I wish i never bought this lemon hunk of crap. This savings or so i felt was a hell of a deal has costs me more than a brand new name brand ninja 400 which is what i had originally saved for but at twice the cost wouldve taken me another 2yrs of saving just to buy. So if anyone like me even thinks of buyimg this bike based on utube and all the good reviews no one ever tells all the extra bs that goes along with that big savings. I wish i never heard of this damn bike or hyosung as the saying goes theres a reason its cheap and the savings u spend will cost you more in the end if you go cheap. Trust me when I say spend the extra and stick with a bike known bike brand like yamaha or ninja i wish i had. I only want people to know what my life has been like since i purchased this new 2500 bike and how it ruined my life and left me hopeless stuck with a bike i want to destroy with a sledge hammer just to get it out of my life without anymore costs or stress and be made whole again to buy a bike that will run and wont cause me trouble or have to spend alot on parts that i can get within a day or two and can take bike to any bike shop to fix. I can say owning this hunk of junk hyosung gd250r has sucked all the joys i once had about bike and made me bitter angry and unsure i will ever enjoy riding in future sadly. Show less

I"ve owned this bike a yr anf a half and Any work you do on this bike has been a miserable experience. The locatiin of bolts to adjust handle bars and clutch are so difficult to get to which since u need to get to them to make adjistments it get sooo frustrating. And I ended up stripping the bolts trying to tighten handlebars. The the bolts on the handle bar brake cylinder broke off. When I got the bike I had ignition bolt missing and all the cables werent ran correctly on bike. This bike leaks oil from after owning a few nonths and the coolant just seems to go somewhere cuz Im always finding reserve empty. Chain is total crap only 10,000 miles and chaim is shot. Battery died today leaving me stranding after riding her a good half hour and turnong her off for a few minutes battery wouldnt start bike so had to jump it just to get home. I rode last week and chain came off on the freeway and almost was run over as a result.there is a sreangle noise coming from somewhere like something is loose. Cant find what it is. Cant get parts everything has to be imported since only 1 shop in U.S.(in michigan) carrys a few parts for this bike so it takes days to weeks to get anything. Cant even buy an oil filter without it being special ordered. I hate everything about this bike and would never every buy another one. Or any other hyosung. At first I loved this bike the price was right and this bike looked great but after all the problems to get parts even a spare key was hard as no ome sells the blanks. And no mechanics want to work on these bikes even if they will there arent many who have knowledge of hyosung. i want to sell this bike and get a normal common kawasaki. Remember theres a reason these bikes are cheap and now i see why. In the end rather had spent more for a name brand known bike. I learned my lesson the hard way. Show less
