First Hawk 250 Ride This Season

July 18, 2023 Hawk 250 Leave a comment

It was a beautiful Sunday day in the Catskills. I decided to check on the hawk 250 to she if she will start up. Last time I turned it on was on Feb but didn’t really ride it, just changed the oil.

The hawk battery was dead but I was able to get it started with the kickstarter in about 2 and half minutes. Check the video on my hawk_250 instagram account.

I had to fill up the air in the tires and do a quick maintenance before the ride.I took a nice 20 mile ride around the Catskills and froze my ass off lol. It was about 40 but with the wind it felt like 20s and I only had a light jacket and jeans. But it was still fun riding the hawk 250 on the open roads.

The roads were full of sand from all the dumping the trucks did during the winter and I could feel the hawk wanting to slip and slide lol

That’s the only update for today. Checkout some pictures from today’s playtime with the hawk 250 dual sport.

Some rice and beans after the ride. Then I gave hawk 250 a quick rinse to get the salt and sand off.

The above image show my JBWeld on the gas tank valve. It started leaking last summer and I didn’t have a welder so this seems to be working. Not a deal breaker for me, I still love my hawk 250.

Back Yard Fun During Gazebo Build

April 7, 2023 Hawk 250

Whats up hawk 250 familia, just a quick post on some new YouTube videos I uploaded from todays quick session on the hawk 250 while working in my backyard.

Once I clean it all up, I will mount my action camera and get some proper videos of the hawk ripping up some dirt. If you like the videos and would like to help, please LIKE and Share. I’m trying to hit that 1000 subscribers, YouTube cut my pennies since I only have 500+ subscribers.

And Second Video from the same day of the hawk 250 in action. The below video is a quick ride with my girl on the back and she wanted to get off real quick haha.

In case you missed some of these other recent videos I uploaded on Hawk 250 YouTube.

This video below is a good one, recently I made it so you can see the eBay and Amazon prices for the hawk 250 parts and upgrades for sale. When you click on any product in the Hawk 250 Shop, on the top you will see the Amazon item and under it you will see the eBay price.

Whisper MotoCheez to Rescue

January 31, 2023 Hawk 250

What’s up guys, I feel like a total noob lol. I have been busy the last month doing yard working and building a gazebo for my bday party, which was on June 16th.

During that time my Kia Sportage also had issues with oil leaking ;). The pan rusted and started dripping oil. So during that time I had to use my hawk 250 for supplies and I got lazy at checking stuff.

I noticed about 3 rides back that my bike started sounding really bad and I was thinking the valves or pistons was messed up.

I posted a video last night of the noise and fire coming out of the exhaust.

I sent my buddy motocheez a message and his first guess was the header bolts broke off or loose. This morning I checked and sure enough he was right.

I was so busy working and lazy to check the bike when it was cool. I would only look into the issue after running the bike and then the exhaust was hot and I couldn’t even touch it.

Anyway big shoutout to motocheez, a great guy and nice having him in the hawk community.

Took My Hawk 250 to Gotham Mountain MX Trail

July 1, 2022 Hawk 250 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.
