Hyosung GV650 bottom end noise?

[Johnny39]

I just test rode an 06 GV650 Avitar with 1500 miles on it. It was a nice looking bike but had a grinding/clanking noise coming from the bottom end till about 3k rpm, any thoughts? I am really interested in the 08 GT650X but kinda put off on Hyosung from this test ride. Does anyone know if the warranty is transferable?

Seems strange that the sound goes away at 3K..... at the moment, I'm not sure what's up. I'll run it by my dealer the next time I stop by, if you'd like.

Don't let one experience sour you, every manufacturer puts out an occasional dud (if this is even their fault), even the guys with well polished reputations. And yes, the two year warranty is fully transferable to succeeding owners.

The warranty is transferable.

I'm familiar with the low RPM noise you're referring to. It's common on the GV650 and nothing to worry about.
