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.

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.
You will find a video done by MotoCheez on how to tune the stock carburetor. This is a must do on your new hawk 250 rps dirt bike to make sure you are tuned for your location and making sure the jet sizes are working for you. The video below goes over how quickly you can get inside and tune your hawk 250 carburetor
Here are some pictures I took when I tuned the stock carburetor. I didn’t have a Dremel so I used a small hacksaw and was able to get the job done. For my second Hawk 250, I purchased the MIKUNI VM26 Carburetor Hawk 250 RPS and new jets, it was faster to setup since you didn’t have to cut out the screws and cap for the adjustment screw.

Quick post hawk riders, I recently uploaded 3 YouTube videos on my channel from our bike ride on June 24th 2018, we did a bit over 30 miles and it was a great time, as always.
About 10-15 minutes into the ride, I heard some noise and found a trail entrance, when we went in we found bunch of ATV and dirt bikers ripping it up in the sand and gravel. The girlfriend didn’t want no part of the off-roading lol, so I will need to come back with with another buddy and get some better video of the quarry and trails.
My hawk 250 is maybe 400 to 500 miles before it hits 5000 miles (I’m guessing because I don’t know the exact mileage on my stock cluster, it was a bit over a thousand miles). I will be doing a hawk 250 5000 mile review real soon. I haven’t had any major issues yet.
Hawk 250 YouTube Videos, below you will find the 3 different uploads. Please share and like if you would like to help me build up my YouTube channel, I appreciate it.
This video shows the off-road/trail we found while riding the hawk 250.
This video is showcasing my new hawk 250 spoke skins I recently purchased. You can get yours from the hawk shop, click here see my video on installing the spoke protectors
This is the street riding part of the ride on June 24th, like always its very scenic views when riding around the Catskills. A lot of empty resorts from the 40s as you can see in the middle of the video.
I have just uploaded some short clips I had of my friends and my hawk 250 dual sport bikes. I was holding the iPhone the wrong way for every single video, so that is why you see images added into the video. Sorry for the noob mistake =).
We are loving the hawks 250 dual sport bikes and try to get as much riding as we can. We haven’t had any major issues with them. The key is to make sure to do routine maintenance to prevent major issues from occurring.

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.
