Example complaints
Fuel system: “For some time, I have been having issues with starting the bike and/or keeping it running. It would either not turn over or when it did start, I would be riding and when I came to a stop, it would stall. I brought the motorcycle into the shop to find out that the gas tank is leaking and it leaks into my battery casement. Hyosung knows that after 15,000 miles the gas tanks start to leak. This is a safety hazard, the bike could ignite into flames while on it. …”
