First Hawk 250 Ride This Season

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.

Hawk 250 – How to Hack the Turn Signal Beep

Thank you so much MotoCheez YouTube Channel for this hack for the Hawk 250 RPS dirt bike. That noise when you used your turn signals was painful to listen too. Now the issue I have is forgetting to turn them off because I don’t hear the beeping anymore haha. Another great video done by MotoCheez, please like and share the video if you did this to your hawk 250.

Great find by MotoCheez for some Hawk 250 RPS Dual Sport storage options. This was a quick installation and it can fit a lot of tools or whatever you want to store in there for your ride on the hawk 250. It also makes it look like you have dual exhaust on your hawk 250 dirt bike with this buritto tube.

June 14th 2018 30 Minute Ride

Just a quick post to share my hawk 250 ride back from June 14th, it was a beautiful day for a ride. The video below is about 30 mins of straight riding solo on my hawk 250 dual sport bike. It ran great and no issues, other then a few days later when I noticed my hawk sounding bad and it was due to a loose exhaust header connection bolts, so always MAKE sure to check your bolts and nuts. I’m so happy it was a simple fix and my hawk is on the road sounding and running great.

Hawk 250 Feb 2018 Update

What’s up fellow hawk 250 owners. Sorry for being a ghost but work has been super busy and that pays the bills so I been focusing on that.  Last time I had the chance to ride my hawk 250 was back in October.

Couple days ago I decided to make some time for my hawk 250 to change the oil. It’s been sitting for a while. I normally like to change my oil every 300 to 500 miles since it’s cheap to change.

The battery on the hawk was dead like always because I’m lazy to install one of those trickle charges or whatever it’s called lol.

But my hawk 250 loves me and she always starts up with the kickstart, sometimes she turns on quick and sometimes she needs more loving.

I got the oil changed but didn’t really get a chance to ride it. Most of the air from the tires was gone and I wanted to do a full checkup of bolts, wires and screws before doing any riding.

Here are some pictures from that day. Hopefully I will find more free time to update this blog for you guys. Sorry if I don’t get back to everyone on emails, you can always try me on instagram or facebooo.

She is filthy from all the woodworking I have been doing in the garage. She needs a nice wash.

I did have a issue at the end of the summer when my gas tank started leaking at the valve. My jb weld is still going strong.

15 Mile Ride with the Hawk 250 to get Some Milk & Eggs

The old lady woke up this morning and needed her eggs for breakfast. It was a beautiful morning so I jumped on the hawk 250 for a 15 mile round trip to the gas station.

Last time I posted on the blog about getting some milk I didn’t take any pictures. I was too lazy to pull over and take it out of the school bag. This time I pulled over and took some pictures of the hawk 250 RPS dirt bike with the eggs and milk.


It was a great 15 mile ride with the hawk 250 and a great way to wake up and start the morning. I have about 2500 miles on the hawk and it’s still running strong.
