Everything for my bike is not in stock. Which means they dont carry. Plus dealership prices are rediculous any ways.

Why can't the Hyosung owners just speak up and tell us about their own experiences with the bikes?

Oh, we don't have any.
In Canadian racing a certain amount of "Newfie Chrome" is virtually mandatory.

I've had to wait 6-8 weeks for parts for Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and BMW in the past. Didn't have to for Suzuki because I bought aftermarket, not because there was any domestic stock.

Honda OEM is expensive as fuck. I know becuase I rebuilt my F3. If I wanted to replace all of my fairings I could probably have a brand new Kyo250. Replace fairings and bolts I could have a new Kyo650. Fucking stock exhaust I believe cost more than my V&H carbon fiber full system that was $800.

You might be lucky getting parts of a Kyo/UM. You might just have to talk to the main office and they can get it out fast since it may not have to jump through 10miles of red tape and dumbass cubicle jockies. I don't know but getting parts for my F3 from my Honda dealer was a PITA. Infact I got Honda parts from a KTM dealership near my house for much cheaper and often times they had the parts in stock.
