Engine
The GT250R comes stock with a 249 cc V-twin engine.[2] The Hyosung V-twin 250cc engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan by a design team consisting of engineers who have previously worked in the research and development teams of Suzuki. Technical features include roller bearing cam shafts, 2 piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelsh combustion chambers, features that were previously confined to racing engines, and in the past have been uneconomical for manufacturers to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for street use. It utilizes a DOHC 8 valve engine configuration, with twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors
In 2008 fuel injection became available, replacing the twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors.[4] However, carbureted models were still being produced and were available in 2009.
Fuel Economy
The GT250R's recorded fuel consumption is 3.4 L/100 km (83 mpg)[5] in comparison to 4.59 L/100 km recorded on the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. This allows the GT250R 500 km range from its 17-litre fuel tank.
