2006 Hyosung GV650

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 (NA) HYOSUNG GV650. THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CALIPER WAS RUBBING ON THE ROTOR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CALIPER, ROTOR, AND THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STILL EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE GAS TANK LEAKING, SPEEDOMETER, AND RECENTLY, THE FIFTH GEAR STICKING AND LOSING POWER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WANTED TO REPLACE THE MOTORCYCLE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WANTS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE MOTORCYCLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 4.

I HAVE A 2006 HYOSUNG AVATAR 650CC MOTORCYCLE IT HAS ONLY 6,000 MILES AND I WAS RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND I WITNESS A CAR INFRONT OF ME MERGE TO THE LEFT LANE AND THE REALIZED THEY COULD NOT MERGE TO THE LEFT SO HE SWIFTLY MERGED BACK TO THE RIGHT LANE MEANWHILE I WAS BESIDE HIM ON MY MOTORCYCLE AND HE DID NOT NOTICE ME AND I PUSHED THE HORN BUTTON AND I WAS HORRIFIED TO REALIZE MY HORN WOULD NOT WORK. I PRESSED IT FRANTICALLY THINKING I WAS GOING TO DIE AND BE RAN OVER NUMEROUS TIMES. AFTER PRESSING THE HORN SEVERAL TIMES I GAVE UP AND AS A LAST DITCH ATTEMPT TO WARD OFF THE DRIVER WHO WAS GOING TO KNOCK ME OFF THE STREET I BEGAN YELLING AT HIM ON TOP OF MY LUNGS. FORTUNATELY HE HAD IS CAR WINDOWS DOWN AND HEARD ME CURSING AT HIM AND HE STAYED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I AM AMAZED THAT HYOSUNG WOULD BE SO NEGLIGENT IN THERE CHOICE OF QUALITY PARTS LIKE A HORN. THESE HORNS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH HORNS THAT OF HIGHER QUALITY. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER GRIEVANCE FAR AS SAFETY GOES. MY CLUTCH CABLE SNAPPED AFTER ONLY 6,000 MILES. I HAVE FRIEND WHO HAS A HYOSUNG AQUILA 250 WHO HAS ALSO HAD THERE CLUTCH CABLE SNAP DURING OPERATION AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO LOSE TRACTION BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE 1ST GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH ENGAGED AND WHEN THE CLUTCH CABLE SNAPPED IT SLOWED HER DOWN TO QUICK IN THE 1ST GEAR AND SHE ALMOST SLID THROUGH THE SAND ON THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER ONCOMING CAR. THESE FLAWS COMPEL ME SO MUCH THAT AT FIRST I THREATENED TO REPORT HYOSUNG TO THE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AT FIRST IF HYOSUNG CONTINUES TO FAIL TO REPLY TO MY EMAILS BUT NOW I THINK THAT I NEED TO REPORT THESE INCIDENTS ANYWAY SINCE I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE HORN ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. ALSO I FEEL THAT THE WIRING ON HYOSUNG MOTORCYCLE ARE UNSAFE BECAUSE THE WIRES ARE SECURED TO TIGHTLY TOGETHER OR TO THE FRAME WITH TYPICAL ZIPTIES THAT CAUSE THE WIRES TO BE CUT OR LACERATE THROUGH THE WIRE INSULATION. *TR
