Hawk 250 – Upgrading to 115 Carb Jet and Oil change

February 15, 2023 Hawk 250 2 Comments

Decided to finally swap out the 110 jet with a 115 jet on my hawk 250. It takes only a free minutes to swap out the jets on these carburetors from Hawk 250 shop. You don’t need to drill out the screws to make adjustments or replace the jets.

Then I did oil change on the hawk 250 and was getting ready to do a quick ride but after checking the bike I noticed a bolt that snapped off. I might have tightened it too much and from all the vibration it just snapped. I need to find a stronger replacement for that bolt and nut.

Below us a picture of my hawk 250 bike with the bolt head missing.

This is my buddies hawk 250 and how the bolt should look :). I have emailed therps.net and hopefully they have replacements but maybe I’m better of finding a stronger USA made bolt and nut to relace this China one.

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.

Another short post on doing oil change on hawk 250 dual sport. I did this the same day I changed my tires to the new Shinko 244 set, click here to read that post on installing the shinko 244 tires.

Changing the oil on the hawk 250 is very quick and easy and cheap. I think a quart ranges from $3 to $6 depending on the one you get. I show which oil I get for my hawk 250 in the pictures below. You can also see the video I uploaded to YouTube on changing the hawk 250 oil and the quick process.
