Installing Shinko 244 Tires on Hawk 250 Dual Sport

Just a quick post on installing Shinko 244 tires on hawk 250 dual sport bike. This was a fairly quick change out for my hawk 250. I did the front and rear tire in about 30 mins. This is my 2nd time changing a tube/tire on a motorcycle and I think 30 minutes isn’t so bad and it saved me probably $100 paying the dealership to do it for me. So the best investment I made was buying the bead-master pro irons and the rim protector. But after a while I got tired of the rim protector and didn’t use it lol.

The sizes for the Shinko 244 tires that I got are,

Front – Tire Size:3.00-21 51L  (eBay Links Under this text, Amazon Links under the images)

Here are some pictures of me installing Shinko 244 tires on hawk 250 dual sport.  You will also find the YouTube video I uploaded on the bottom of this page.

I hope it gives you the courage to try and change your own tires. When I first got my hawk I got a flat tire and they charged me I think $50 to replace it with a new tube. Now I can save a lot of money doing these on my own. Plus when you are in the woods, there is no dealership to help you with changing your flat tubes =).

So its a really good idea to learn how to change your tires and tubes on the hawk 250 dual sport.

  1. Hi,
    How many miles do you have on your new tires? How do you like them? Why did you choose them over Kenda?
    Thanks and have a great day,
