How to fit a Hyundai i30 towbar - GD 2011-2015
If you are handy with tools you can probably fit a simple tow bar. However, there are some peculiarities of how to do so with different makes and models of cars. This demonstration is for how to fit a towbar to a Hyundai i30 2013 GD (diesel). The rear end of other Korean and Japanese small car models of similar age will have similar construction features, so this video should help with other vehicle makes and models too.
Please note this this fitment is for everyday light trailer use. If you intend to be towing caravans or commercial loads you should have the towbar professionally fitted.

Install manual cam chain tensioner adjuster Hyosung gt650 gt650r sv650
มุมมอง 14K7 ปีที่แล้ว
How to fit manual cam chain adjusters tensioners to Hyosung GT650 or GT650R or SV650. I include a check of the cam chain timing in case people accidentally spin the cam chain over the cam sprocket teeth. I recommend, though, that it is best practise to mark the cam chain with a scoring tool against a mark on the cam sprockets BEFORE you remove anything else. In general, though, you should be ab...

This goes back to about 1997 when my kids were obsessed with Star Wars The Phantom Menace. So I made a home movie of their favorite scene of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn fighting Darth Maul. I shot it on Video 8 and processed it using Ulead Media Studio pro version 2.5! All three kids are now adults. They have agreed to the upload of this video. I particularly like the finale: 'Train Anakin....
I'll be replacing my I30's rear bumper today. I just wanted to thank you for the informative and helpful video. I'm getting me a magnetic tray!
No worries. Thanks for the feedback.
Looks like a lot of work. Thanks Jonathan. Do you want to do mine?
Haha! Yes it is a moderately involved job that took several hours. Should you do it? It depends how versatile one wants their i30 to be. I still have my i30 and it has clicked over 280K and still going strong, so well worth the effort for me. Others change their cars more regularly so not really worth it if you don't plan to get at least a few years out of it. I'd encourage you to have a go at yours. It is certainly doable and give you a sense of satisfaction.
@@jonono63 I have a 2018 accent and I'm I little worried about breaking it if I try. I plan on keeping it until it dies. Ok... I might have to watch again before making a decision.
@@sarcasmo57 I was initially worried about pulling off the rear bumper, but it is very durable and flexible and wont break. I would have no hesitation about pulling it off now. Similarly the tail lights seemed like they might break on removal, but if you watch my video at that section you will be fine as long as you remove all the bolt and pull it in the correct direction. A 2018 model should come off even easier. I'm not sure the Accent is completely the same, but should be almost identical. All the best with whatever you decide.
@@jonono63 thanks mate
Niice work , great video
Thanks for the feedback. Have continued to use and value the towbar since fitting it.
Good video. Annoyingly my tensions are gone on both my SV and my GSXR. Oh well. Double the practice.
I bought a Melbourne made Hayman & Reece at Salisbury towbars in SA & they fitted it. I hired a 7x4 caged mechanically braked 4 wheels caged. 6 trips, I bought a house 200 km from Adelaide. I surprised how well & stable my petrol i30 6 speed manual tows. 5 th gear cruise control a 100 kmh. Very stable. I bought a second-hand 6x4 deep trailer, second hand, new condition for $1500.00 & it's garaged so it won't rust.
Couldn't agree more regarding the i30. Sits on the road like a sports car (mine running 19s and low profile Bridgestones) but will pull a trailer like a big six. Mine just clicking over 255K and everything still works, still original.
@jongoessling1245 Mines, a gd active base model, I got a full sized tire for the boot. Mines stock, I set it up for touring. Rhino roof racks a custom-made aluminium checkers plate roof box 100 watt solar panel attached to the lid, a wedge shape at the front, a light bar single row mounted on the under side of the front Rhino rack You can see roof pop their heads above bushes as night at a greater distance. A one hundred amp hr life po 4 powered battery box strapped in the boot & a 2 L Waeko analog fridge freezer wedged in behind the driver seat as I'm short & have the room.
Thank you so much for your well explained video. I've got the diesel i30 also and wanting to be able to tow a small cage trailer occasionally. Can you please explain why you had to run the green wire inside the boot space? Was that so you could hook up the plug for the trailer lights? Did you happen to do a video on that as well?
Hi Taneeker. Unfortunately I did not make a video of the wiring of the trailer plug, but yes the green wire was to access the right hand blinker for the trailer. All the other trailer wires (lights and brake lights and left blinker) can be wired from the one (left) side. If you take a still of the video at 14:08 you can see which wires I spliced the trailer plug to). Sorry it is not clearer on the video.
@@jonono63 all good, thank you for your explanation. I'll try to find another video on how to wire in trailer lights. Many thanks for making such a great practical video 😊
is really necessary doing that? what happen if you stay with stock tensor?
Sorry for late reply. Might you rephrase your question as I'm not sure what you're asking?
Fark doing all that
Excellent video. I love it
all the best if you decide to have a go :)
Great video, great job, thank you.
still use it most weeks. worth the effort
Awesome, thank you
Glad I did it and have used it regularly for over two years. I30 very solid and can pull a heavy load
Hi can you please advise if the GT650R cylinder head and pistons are the same as the GV650 please
I'm guessing, but I imagine they would be the same. Essentially the same engine
G'day nice video giving it a crack tonight
Yes it takes a bit of time, but well worth it. I use the trailer all the time
What an awesome video. I've been suspecting loose camchains on my gt650r and found your vid. I was very suprised to find you didn't have hundreds of workshop vids on your channel. :) thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Your welcome. Sometimes it is the odd and unusual issues of certain motorcycles that frustrate owners the most. Makes sense to share what we learn
Great video, but just something that sort of jumped out, as an engineer, in the building blocks of learning it was always explained that the ONLY TIME you put a Bolt in upside down was because there was no room to install it the correct way ie Always Facing Downwards in case the nut became loose and if you had no option but to install upwards then ALWAYS install a Lock Nut, see 9.17 I have to say that having watched the video it soon became apparent that it was a pretty skilled job and not one for me, I would be just to scared of scratching my rear panel or snapping off the fixings. Mr Spence Eng
Thanks for the comments. Your bolt suggestion was a good idea and I should have used a lock nut. Regarding doing it yourself, I would encourage you to have a go. The rear skirt is quite durable and will not mark easily. However, I would ensure plenty of space, well lit, and probably higher than I had the rear. Ideally, a hoist.
Can you use a copper ring instead of the rubber oil ring as the standard one you took off has a copper ring on the bolt for the chain tension
If you do reuse a copper ring it is best to anneal it first with a gas torch. I just used the rubber ones.
What model towbar is this plz? Maybe even a link to the product? Cheers
www.tagtowbars.com.au and just contact them re you model. The i30s are quite specific so they will ask for your rego and then will accurately identify your model from there.
Nice video but hei too much wrk
haha. I think you're right. But I am glad I did it. Also a life philosophy is to give things a go. Will the tow bar fit took a while, it wasn't that hard.
Where did you get you tow bar from
www.tagtowbars.com.au/
what a massive effort to mount a tow bar to an i30.
I might agree. However, I like to learn new things and like the convenience of using it for a trailer. The i30 diesel is such a versatile car I figured the towbar would only make it more so. And it is :)
What do you find you can tow with the i30?
It's the diesel and so has plenty of torque, so more than capable for lightish loads of stuff.
@@n.granger1343 i30 diesel is an amazing car with gobs of torque. Will tow more than what the tow bar can safely handle. I tow a standard trailer interstate with a load and do not notice it. Would easily pull a small caravan but would need a more substantial tow bar than this one.
Can I just remove and replace tensioner without checking the chain tdc
Should be able to
Yes. I included a bit about the cam chain mainly for the sake of anyone who might have the misfortune of letting the cam chain drop
last year I was riding my 2007 Hyosung gt650r at full throttle for about 2 minutes and I was doing between 125mph to 130mph , I have gps speedometer and when I came to a complete stop at the light I heard my engine nocking like there is a solid object rattling around inside the engine . could it be the timing tensioner or something else? it feels like cams or something is hitting each other now .
hi bob bob. Sorry I am late with response but don't check my gmail. Some engine noises may be: 1. cam chain tension, 2. clutch rattle, 3. big end bearing (less likely, but possible if you had low or no oil.)
@@jonono63 I did new clutch , oil and new spark plugs that summer, am leaning more towards timing chain tensioner, since it runs but it knocks on top of the engine, I just cant tell which side. I haven't turn it on since last summer, been busy work to check the tensioners my self.
Hi, I'm planning to buy a used 650N 2012 model. Is it worth it? What are pros and cons I should watch out for?
As probably have heard elsewhere, the electrics are hyosung's downfall. If you are technically minded and are happy to change coils or regulators (etc} for better quality Japanese ones, then you'll be okay. Don't buy one if you just want a reliable bike. It isn't.
@@jonono63 Thank you for advising. Have a great day. 😊
@@jonono63 I changed a rear coil for another OEM, you mention Japanese ones - what are they called?
@@flar7684 Buying Suzuki SV650 coils is the best, but I bought some for a Kawasaki gpx250 and they have worked
I have an sv 650 1999 (38k) . I use it to commute to work 5 days a week. I've had another camchain tensioner fail on me . On both occasions I was slow speed . The first time it happened the camchain came half off the exhaust cam sprocket on the front cylinder. The second time (the other day) I hit the kill switch as soon as I heard the rattle. Both tensioner failure's where on the front cylinder. I've come to the conclusion that the front cylinder tensioner cannot get enough lubricant due its vertical mounting position . The lack of oil is causing the spring inside to rot away and eventually break. This rotting of the spring has been speeded up by having water in my oil . The water is caused by the engine getting hot and cold two times a day and sweating inside . I am guilty for not changing my oil and filter often enough. To try and cure the problem I will change oil and filter more often and periodically put some oil into the back of the tensioners by removing the m6 bolt . The tensioners don't need to be taken out to oil them . Note that If your tensioner springs are already corroded, adding oil may unseize them and cause a failure !
Hi f Preston. It sounds like you've got a damaged head gasket which is letting coolant into your oil. You will have to get this repaired first before you can expect any reliability out of the bike.
have you removed the ais system on your bike?
Actually haven't fiddled with the ais.
Awesome video mate. One of the best I've seen yet. Very thorough great info.
No worries.

Hi i would just like to know how to set the cam timing from scratch
Hi. Sorry I had not got back to you. Unfortunately your question is beyond my skill and you would probably need a factory manual. If I had to reset them from scratch, with no markings of my own, I would take it to a motorcycle workshop and have them do it.
thank you. I have GT650N 04 part discontinued..TT From korea~
Hello ! Thanks for your video :) One question : at 10:29 (when you measuring the tension) : how much is the distance ? 7mm ? I don't see this measure in the workshop :( Thanks again ! P.S : on my channel youtube (in french) i prepare my comet 650 gtr carb for Road Competition ;)
Sorry I had not got back to you. I don't know the actual distance. I just ensured it was not so tight you couldn't push it down, but tight enough that you can move it slightly. Not a very good answer but I don't really know.
Can you do an ownership review of your Hyosung.
Sorry have not got back to you on this as I don't check emails and I'm not a regular youtuber. To tell the truth the bike has been under a tarp in the garage for several years now. It developed another electrical fault, and I'd just had enough of mucking around with it and had so many other maintenance jobs around the house that needed doing. So I stopped riding it. Perhaps will try again soon. However, apart from reliability issues i really love the bike. It sounds good, has amazing torque, good fuel economy, and is fun through the twisties. I put on a gsxr 750 shock which improved the handling substantially.
Also great video
Hi buddy have you a link for the tensioner cheers

The sv650 is timed at the 'F' mark for both cylinders. Cam timing that is
Also would like to know
