Hyosung Motorcycles, Scooters and ATVs: Service Repair Manuals & Owner's Manual PDF

Hyosung, a South Korean company, began operations in 1952 as a manufacturer of computers and semi-finished products. It opened a motorcycle manufacturing department in 1978. Initially, this area produced products under the Suzuki license, which limited exports and reduced the profits of the Korean company. In this regard, Hyosung management decided to secede from the Japanese corporation, which happened in 1980. After the separation, the company opened its research center in Japan. Its own developments, in which Japanese experts took part, increased the productivity and quality of the company's products.

Hyosung's first success came from its own development of V-engines. They were used in all models, from the "street" class, to heavy stylish motorbikes with 650 cc engines. Then two successful models with two-stroke power units were released - FR80 and GP125. Hyosung motorcycle production has reached 15 thousand copies per year. At the peak of its popularity in 1994-1996, about 150 thousand motorcycles rolled off the assembly lines of the company. In 1999, a Korean company participated in a motorcycle salon in Milan, gaining the trust of foreigners. This led to an increase in the company's exports, which in 1999 reached 75 thousand.

In 2000, Hyosung introduced its new model - the Comet roadster, which was further developed. Currently, the Korean company Hyosung has become one of the largest manufacturers of motorcycle equipment in Asia. Its products are characterized by modern design and build quality. Among the latest models of the company, the Hyosung GV650 sports cruiser, which is an example of the Korean motorcycle industry, can be distinguished. As of June 2014, Hyosung's production facilities allowed it to assemble about 200 thousand motorcycles per year.
