    Afternoon all.

    I have just brought my Hyosung GV650 out of storage. It was parked for 4 years, maybe started avery 6 months.
    I forget how the engine sounded when idling and was hoping somebody here with a trained ear could have listen to a video I made?

    It sounds a little irregular with some intermittant knocking.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Oil level is ok but could do with a change.

    Thanks!
    Wavey.

    aye, flush fluids (inc petrol), and new sparks I'd say she'd be right as. Iding a bit rough

    bit of valve train noise, but could be normal enough for these (?)

    I drive a GV650 myself as well, and I'd definitely say it sounds different than mine. It ought to sound a bit more "steady", in lack of better words. The suggestions for new fluids and spark plugs is sound one.

    Tbh, it doesn't sound exactly bad, but simply uneven. Perhaps ad some form of engine flush when changing oil? That's what I did once I got mine, and it made a noticeable difference.
