Hyosung Motorcycle Cold Start Problem – Well, it has been almost 3 weeks now I am having this problem. Basically, my bike is having hard time to start in the early morning, i.e. Cold start and it takes me about 10-20 minutes to fire it up. However, once the engine is warmed up, the subsequent start fired up without any problems. So the issues is with cold start and not warm start.
I don’t think there is an issue with the battery as the bike is just about 3 months old and the lights, horn, signal are working in a good condition.
I did not manage to record a video to describe my problem, but upon searching online, I found someone posted a video which the issue is similar to mine. The video can be view below:

I’ve read online and there are only two possibilities that I’ve narrowed down. This could be due to Engine Temperature Sensor (ETS) or the Roll Over Switch. (RO).
Today, I took half day and ride my bike to Naza Service Center in Shah Alam. The first thing that they checked is to see if the is any errors via the Hyosung Diagnostic tool as per below.
The good news is, there is no error shown at the ODO meter.
The next step, I insisted them to check on the battery just to make sure it is good and it looks like that is the case. The battery reading was increasing as soon as they Rev the engine at about 5K RPM which indicates both Battery and the Rectifier is in good hand.
They have then concluded that this issue is with the Engine Temperature Sensor (ETS) and it is located at the left side of the engine.
Here is my faulty Engine Temperature Sensor (ETS)
The faulty ETS with the new ETS package / cover. At this point, they have insallaed the new ETS and I got it for free as my bike is still under warranty.
Finally, the ETS has been changed on my bike and the cold start issue seems to be resolved.

Hi there…is these problems also as Hyosung Exiv GD250n?
Im having the exact same issue. But when its in the sun. Sometimes if it just sits for a while. My gears are funny at times. And rpms are not where they should be. I should be getting alot more out of my bike than i am. Its been in the shop 10 to 11 times. Sent to the manufacturers. And about to go back again Should i recommend this? And once you fixed your bike. Did you get better performance? Every blue moon. My bike will run the way it should. I get 10 mph more out of first… Read more »
Im speaking of your starting issue in my comment. And also i forgot the word ‘run’ right before 2000 rpms
Zachary, if you’re having this similar issue, you can recommend your manufacturer to check on this. As for performance, I don’t feel any differences as it’s just standard parts that I’ve replaced it with. Also, ask them to check on your plug caps (both) and see if there are any cracks?
Thanks for the information bro. Is this solely for efi models or would this be the case for carb’d models too. Regards
Hi,
Yes it applies to both EFI and Carb. cheers
