So, was cruising up the 404 this afternoon on my Hyosung GV250 Aquila, when I noticed speed loss... 110, 105, 95, 90.. managed to pull over safely and walk the bike to a safe parking spot (40min ordeal in scorching sun + full gear).
1) Just had Starter Motor replaced, 45mins later I filled my tank (was on empty in the country by that point), station was out of premium gas so put 87 in it for the first time; manual says 87 is fine, 50/50 with actual Hyosung riders whether they have preignition issues with 87 octane, I thought i'd try it... 5mins later I had a "pinging" sound while going down the highway... persisted at idle and while running
2) Ran it with 87 octane for 30 mins until I got back to city, picked up a siphon, drained the tank and filled it with 91.. added some Sea Foam
3) 3 co-workers (none of them mechanics, but all riders) said it's just due to the fuel, and it would go away in 3 or so tanks of running... made it 1.5 tanks before engine seized
Bike will be towed tomorrow, either home or to a shop (hopefully it's still where I parked it); any idea's in the meantime?
Thanks.
