I'd describe it as a high-pitched metallic "pinging", sounded like "ting-ting-ting" loud and fast, even at idle, either disappearing or being "disappeared" by other engine/wind noise at higher speeds/gears. The bike was performing "alright", a bit slower than usual, about a half gear or so...

For what I paid for it in comparison to other bikes, and the amount it saved me on insurance, I could buy two (or three) Hyosung's. Yeah, they *both* might die after awhile, but the odds of that are at least slim. I was looking for an inexpensive, low insurance bike that was comfortable for a...

Yeah, I'm not that handy (yet)... been a good bike to learn on so far, both riding and mechanical work. Mostly just curious what the issue might've been, and what may have caused it.

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...

I was in there last week for some work, I'd say both of those guys are still there judging by your descriptions. Younger guy did the work on my bike, nice guy to chat with, no complaints.

So, apparently it's the starter! Thanks for all the help, that was basically what we had troubleshot it down to on here, so +1 cookies for you!

No idea... lol Taking it in to the shop tomorrow, I'll let you know the diagnosis when I find out :)

Can hear the starter move, but doesn't start the motor. Also doesn't sound the same as when I use the starter switch (no chugging/sluggish sound, just the starter motor itself).

Only one wire going into the starter, just hook the pos cable up there, and ground to frame, and try to start? Need to disconnect the existing wire first?

Jump start from car battery was a failure, exact same slow/sluggish turn-over sound :(

So, no reading using the ohms setting, but the diode test should be correct from the other sources I found... I also had them test the battery at canadiantire yesterday, came up good, so they said. Can't find any loose connections or bad wiring that I can see. I'm about ready to take it in to a...

That was using the diode setting on the multimeter, as suggested in the ElectroSport fault finding diagram, and from information I found online on testing the RR. The manual (btw, thanks for the references, but I have the 2009 non-FI, found the manual at...

Pulled the RR out and tested it, results are; 1) Ground to top-left, red to bottom 3 pins; 414, 416, 416 2) Ground to top-right, red to bottom 3 pins; 1/1/1 (nothing) 3) Red to top-left, ground to bottom 3 pins; 1/1/1 (nothing) 4) Red to top-right, ground to bottom 3 pins; 427, 409, 412

Thanks folks, I'll check some things after this damned rain stops... would be nice to have a garage Thinking it may be related to the regulator/rectifier, it sits under the seat immediately next to the battery/CDI... I was wondering what the large heatsink was for :)

No tach, and I'm not sure what 3k rpm sounds like, but I was holding it steady at a pretty high "whine" for at least 5-6 seconds, checked 3 times Since I've been moving things around inside near the wiring, is there a chance something came undone/loosened? Any way to check the stator or...
