Fitment Details for the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet 2004 Onwards
This exhaust has been specifically designed to fit the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet from 2004 onwards, using a 4-bolt fitting that connects directly to the standard OEM downpipes. This means there’s no need to modify your existing pipework — the can bolts straight on in place of the factory silencer, keeping the installation clean and fully reversible should you ever wish to return to standard.
The 4-bolt connection point ensures a solid, leak-free joint that won’t loosen up over time. Combined with the stainless exhaust strap and rubber buffer, you’ll have a fitment that stays put mile after mile, regardless of road conditions or spirited riding. Owners of the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet will be pleased to know that no specialist tools are required beyond a basic socket set and a little patience — this is genuinely a home-garage-friendly job.
Installation Notes for Your Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet
Before fitting your new exhaust to your Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet, we recommend allowing the engine to cool down completely if the bike has been recently ridden. A warm or hot exhaust can make handling components uncomfortable and may cause minor burns. Once cool, the process is straightforward:
- Remove the existing factory silencer by undoing the 4 bolts at the joint and releasing any existing mounting strap or bracket
- Offer up the new can to the downpipe, ensuring the 4-bolt flange seats correctly against the header pipe
- Hand-tighten the bolts first to align everything correctly before fully torquing them down evenly
- Fit the stainless exhaust strap around the can and locate the rubber buffer between the strap and the body of the silencer
- Secure the strap to your Comet’s footpeg hanger or mounting point, ensuring there’s no contact between the can and any surrounding bodywork or frame components
- Start the engine and check for any leaks at the joint — a minor exhaust paste can be applied to the flange if needed for a perfect seal
Many riders fitting this exhaust to their Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet complete the job in under an hour. It’s one of those satisfying upgrades that makes an immediate, noticeable difference from the very first ride.
Why Upgrade the Exhaust on Your Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet?
Upgrading the exhaust on your Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet is one of the most popular first modifications for a reason — the results are immediate and rewarding. A performance can offers a noticeably improved exhaust note, giving your GT250R or GT250 Comet a deeper, more characterful tone that reflects the sporty styling of the bike far better than the muted, baffled standard unit ever could.
Beyond the sound, a well-matched aftermarket silencer can also contribute to a slight reduction in weight compared to the heavier OEM item, which on a lightweight 250cc sportsbike like the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet is always welcome. You’ll also appreciate the visual upgrade — our can is designed to complement the clean, sportsbike lines of the Comet rather than clash with them.
For riders who enjoy watching exhaust fitment and sound comparisons before buying, we’ve put together a series of YouTube videos featuring our exhausts in action — links can be found on the full product listing page. There’s nothing quite like hearing the difference for yourself before committing.
If you also own or are considering other bikes in the Hyosung range, you might also want to take a look at our exhaust options for the Hyosung GT650R AND GT650 Comet, which offers a similarly straightforward bolt-on upgrade for the larger-engined Comet.
Frequently Asked Questions — Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet Exhaust
- Will this exhaust fit both the GT250R and the standard GT250 Comet?
Yes — this exhaust is designed to fit both the faired GT250R and the naked GT250 Comet from 2004 onwards, as both models share the same OEM downpipe configuration. - Do I need a power commander or remap after fitting?
For most riders on the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet, a remap is not essential when fitting a slip-on can. The standard carburettor setup copes well with the change, and many owners ride for years without any fuelling adjustment. - Will this exhaust pass an MOT?
Our exhausts for the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet are designed for road use. However, it is always the rider’s responsibility to ensure their motorcycle meets the relevant noise and emissions standards at the time of their MOT test. - Is the stainless strap a direct replacement for the OEM mounting?
Yes — the included stainless exhaust strap and rubber buffer are designed to use the standard mounting point on the Hyosung GT250R and GT250 Comet frame, requiring no additional brackets or welding. - Do you offer exhausts for other Hyosung models?
Absolutely. We stock a range of options across the Hyosung lineup. For example, if you’re looking for something for a smaller bike, check out our fitment for the Hyosung GT125R AND GT125 Comet.

The Hyosung GT250R is a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) motorcycle manufactured by Hyosung Motors & Machinery Inc. It entered the market in 2005, offering a 250 cc class sportbike with a frame similar in size to Hyosung’s larger GT650 sportbike.

Technical features include roller bearing camshafts, two-piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squish combustion chambers. It utilizes a DOHC eight-valve engine configuration. Twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors were standard until 2008 when fuel injection became available. Cycle World tested the GT250R’s acceleration at 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 7.6 seconds and 0.0 to 0.4 km (0 to 1⁄4 mi) in 16.06 seconds at 128.89 km/h (80.09 mph).
Fuel economy

Motorcyclist and Cycle World recorded 3.8 L/100 km; 74 mpg‑imp (62 mpg‑US).
Suspension and handling
Non-adjustable 51 mm inverted forks are combined with a twin-spar steel frame to provide improved handling. Stock suspension setting is firm, providing stability through corners. Although commonly found only in larger sized sport bikes, the Hyosung GT250R comes standard with a 300 mm front disc setup using twin-piston calipers. Rear brakes are a single 230 mm disc.
2010 model changes
An Australian press release revealed that the 2010 GT250R has been slightly restyled, the most noticeable change taking place on the rear LED stop/tail-lamp.
Electronic fuel injection will be standard on all of Hyosung’s 2010 GTxxx models. Not only that it will also receive oil cooler as standard rather than air-cooled.
