Riding The Hawks 250 With MotoCheez

3 Comments

Finally got to meet up with MotoCheez and do some riding in his hood. We got some breakfast and then hit the road.


Bek texting his girlfriend.


After breakfast we hit up some dirt and gravel trails that had death traps all around but it was super fun ripping the Hawk 250 and seeing what they can do.

MotoCheez should have a video uploaded soon and it should be a good one, including me failing to get up a hill and having to do a redo lol.

We also got to meet Vee, another fellow hawk rider and did some more cruising until we had to leave. We had 4 Hawks 250 Dirt bikes on the road and took over the gas station. Hopefully we can add a few more hawk 250 riders next time we go out.

The weather in New York was great over the weekend and the hawk got some miles in. It was near the 90s but the hawk handled great and did the job it needed.

I just ordered a new exhaust system for the hawk 250 and I will be doing a post about it once it comes in.

Hawk 250 – How to Fix Chain Guide and Tire Rubbing Problem Video

Video Leave a comment

This was a great find by MotoCheez on why the Hawk 250 RPS dual sport rear tire would rub against the chain. It seems the chain guide holes are way off from where they should be.  This was a fairly quick tweak to do on my Hawk 250 RPS. I had to do it on 3 other Hawk 250 and it got easier and quicker after the first one.

Hawk 250 Enduro Review by Dominic

My name is Dominic Beach and I`m from Sioux City, Iowa. I purchased a blue hawk 250 back in June of 2016 and have been in love with it ever since. I am 17 so its my first bike and I was not wanting to get tied down with a giant loan so i bought the hawk. Today I have 2,200 miles on it and haven`t had any major issues. After the typical carb adjustments and such after putting the bike together, its run perfect. My only issue was the horribly made Chinese chain. With it being a chain it was no big deal, just got a new one and went from there. I have loved the bike and really have no reason to complain. I have attached multiple pictures of my numerous small adventures around the Sioux City, Iowa area.

Took My Hawk 250 to Gotham Mountain MX Trail

Leave a comment

I found this Gotham Mountain  MX Trails that are about 15 minutes from my house. I have been waiting for one of my buddies to have a free day off work so we can go and check this out. Its open on the weekends and it was $40 to get in for the day. They have a few different trails you can rip around. They also have a MX track which we didn’t go on.

We actually only spent maybe 45 minutes in there and had to leave because the red Hawk 250 dual sport wasn’t feeling the rough terrain  =). I will need to come back by myself or someone else with more balls to hit these trails and see what the hawk 250 dual sports can do.

We did the same lap 2 times because the first time my phone fell off and we had to go back to find it. I was having a good time and the trails were getting easier but my buddy wasn’t feeling it so we just hit the streets for the rest of the day. I will upload a second video of us riding the hawks in the streets and still having a good time.  This is why I love these hawk 250 dual sport bikes, we can easily switch from off-roading and back to the streets.

Checkout the short video below of our 2 laps on the Gotham Mountain MX trails!

Here are some pictures from the start of the day getting the hawk 250 ready for the trails. We had to do a quick carb jet upgraded on the new red hawk 250, it took about 10 minutes and we were ready to go.

Hawk 250 – How to Change Front and Rear Sprockets

Video 4 Comments

The video below shows MotoCheez changing his front sprocket on his black Hawk 250. You can click here to see my picture guide on how to change the sprockets on your Hawk 250 RPS dirt bike. I went with the 15th for my front sprocket and 45th for my rear sprockets. I’m 240 pounds and using these sprocket sizes I’m able to max out the bike around 63+ on a straight away, uphill I will go to low 50s. The good thing about these sprockets, they are cheap and its fairly easy to swap them out for testing to see what works best on your hawk 250.
