A few days ago I got the MSR black steel shift lever Hawk 250 in the mail while I was grilling some chicken wing. After the wings I went downstairs to my garage and installed the MSR shift lever in a few minutes on the Hawk 250. It went on pretty easily without any issues. You need to remove the bolt before putting the shift lever on, or you will have trouble pushing it on the gear shaft. If you would like to purchase this MSR shift lever for your hawk, click here or the image below (new window will open).
Grilling some quick chicken wings on this great fall day with a nice view of some fall leaves colors.
Remember to remove the bolt on the shift lever before putting it on, it will go on a lot smoother.
I didn’t compare it with the stock hawk 250 shift lever but it looks longer and 100% times better. I will take some pictures later and update this post. The model number for the MSR black steel shift lever Hawk 250 is 07-0709.

Hawk 250 Upgrades
My hawk 250 is around the 4000 mile range and it’s still running strong. I haven’t had any major issues with it. This bike does require a bit more upkeep so you don’t break down. So I only recommend these bikes to people who like working with their hands and getting them dirty.
Here are some links to the hawk 250 upgrades I did on my bike.
If your hawk 250 isn’t running correctly, chances are the stock hawk 250 carburetor is not tuned correctly or using the wrong jets. I have worked on 4 different hawk 250 dual sport bikes so far and all of them had the same issue, not tuned or running the wrong jets. The hawk 250 manufactures have the adjustment screws and the screws to remove the carb cover sealed with plastic coating so you can’t take them out. My first hawk 250 bike I was able to remove the tamper proof screws they have but it does require some tools to be able to get the cover open. If you would like to mess with the stock hawk 250 carb, I have the images posted at the bottom of this blog post.
I purchased my hawk 250 mikuni carburetor and jets from amazon. If you would like to purchase this carb, you can click on the images below (links will open in new window) for the carb and jets. My affiliate link is setup with the links below and if you use my link to purchase the carb, I will get a small commission from amazon and it all goes back towards my hawk 250 and keeping this website going. If you need any help with replacing the carb, please email me and I will do my best to guide you with any issues you are having. I’m not a motorcycle or a auto mechanic but I know my way around the toolbox and how to get stuff done.
The jet size that I’m currently using is a 115 but I recommend getting the package below that has different carb jet sizes so you can quickly switch them out for testing them in your location.
I would also highly recommend swapping out the stock hawk 250 exhaust with the new hawk 250 aftermarket exhaust. Its fairly priced for what you get and the minute you swap out the hawk 250 stock exhaust with the new aftermarket one, you will notice a difference. You can read my post on the hawk 250 exhaust by clicking here.
Here are some pictures if you are looking to modify your stock hawk 250 carburetor, in my opinion the hawk 250 Mikuni carb is easier to work on and its not that expensive to get for your hawk. If you have any questions about the stock hawk 250 carb or the Mikuni one, please contact me and I will get back to you asap.
If you have a dremel then this will be much easier, we didn’t have a dremel and we didn’t want to waste anytime. So using a smallhex-saw will do the trick.
My hawk 250 upgrades, I have new sprockets, carb with new jets, new hawk 250 exhaust, new chain and digital cluster. If you are looking to buy the upgrades I have, you can purchase them from my shop, click here for hawk 250 upgrades
In this post I’m going to list some of the hawk 250 rps performance upgrades I have done to my bike. I think these are must have items for anyone who wants to get the most out of their Hawk 250 and of course more speed is always better =).
You can click on each image and you will be taken to that product page on our website to make the purchase. You can Hawk 250 Shop to visit our Hawk 250 Shop and find them that way also and other parts and accessories for the Hawk 250 RPS dirt bike.
(Sometimes Amazon runs out of stock on these parts, click here to visit my hawk 250 eBay links if you see amazon is out of stock)
My Top Hawk 250 RPS Performance Upgrades
I have replaced both of my sprockets to the 17Th for the front and 45th for the rear. Using these 2 sprocket sizes you will not need to cut the chain or do any work on it, it comes off quickly and goes back on the same way. Quick and easy change, it will give you more speed right away.
This is the new O-Ring chain I got for my Hawk 250 RPS, this chain is 100% better than the stock one that comes with the bike and it’s a quick change. There is no need to cut the chain if you are using the stock sprockets or the ones shown above.
I’m loving this exhaust so far, it sounds a lot meaner and it does give you extra power. I have noticed a increase in speed right away after changing the exhaust. It isn’t that difficult to replace if you have some mechanical experience and are handy with tools, you should be fine. There are videos on how to install it on YouTube done by MotoCheeze and I have also uploaded some images on a recent post on how the exhaust looks and runs on the Hawk 250 RPS dirt bike.
Hawk 250 RPS Performance Upgrades
This is the MIKUNI VM26 Carburetor that I have purchased for my Hawk 250 RPS, I don’t really notice much difference from the stock one but I would assume it’s better and I had a extra amazon gift card so I decided to go with a new carb when I purchased the jets. Changing the Carb is pretty simple task to do and I have posted some images on a recent post showing how you can tune your stock Carburetor by drilling out the lockout tabs and getting to the adjustment screws on the hawk 250stock Carburetor.
The following jets bundle I purchased from Amazon and they sell pretty fast on amazon. If they are out of stock, you should be able to find them on eBay also but I’m not sure what their current price on ebay is, I got them from Amazon for about $11 with shipping.
The gloves below aren’t going to give you any extra power on the hawk but they sure look cool and I’m loving the steel knuckles.
I have also upgraded my stock hawk 250 cluster and got a digital one with the RPM guage and gear indicator which is super cool. The stock cluster after a few rides will start giving you the wrong speed, it will say you are doing 70-80MPH but in reality you are going like 50-55. I highly recommend people upgrading their cluster.
These are the current upgrades I have on my Hawk 250 RPS dirt bike. I don’t have any mechanic experience working with bikes and I found all of these upgrades pretty easy to do. If you are able to use hand tools and some basic mechanical skills then you shouldn’t have any issues doing these upgrades on your hawk 250 dirt bike. I have learned a lot about dirt bikes and how everything works by working on my Hawk 250 and I get joy from working on the bike and always taking it apart and putting it back together to see how it all works and the most important thing is to always check your bolts and screws, they do get loose from all of the vibration.
If you have any questions about these items or my post on Hawk 250 RPS Performance Upgrades, feel free to contact me. If they are out of stock, I will try to find another website that sells the same item and I will do my best to help you out.
I just ordered some blue and yellow hawk 250 spoke rim skins for my hawk 250 to try out. I think I will alternate the blue and yellow to see how it looks. I also see they have some heat shields for the exhaust for sale, I need to save up the $30 bucks to try that out next. Click here to go to the hawk 250 spoke skins product page.
I should have these on Friday June 22nd, I will do another post and YouTube video on how it comes out. They have a lot of different colors you can choose from. Checkout our hawk 250 spoke skins shop page for full list of colors you can choose.
I would recommend any hawk 250 owner to get this hawk 250 aftermarket exhaust for their bike. When it comes to the hawk 250 any extra power is a good thing and this exhaust sounds much meaner and you will notice a difference right away when you go for your first ride. It was a really quick swap from the stock exhaust to the new aftermarket hawk 250 exhaust. The only issue is that the flange bolt holes on the new exhaust are too small and not aligned the same as the stock hawk 250 exhaust. Using the correct drill bit will make your install much quicker and less painful.

Click on any of the images below to buy the hawk 250 exhaust from amazon. If you use my link below to purchase it from amazon, I will get a small commission from your purchase, it helps keep the website going and getting parts for my hawks. I appreciate you using my links and if you have any questions about this exhaust, email me and I will do my best to help you out.
Here are some pictures from my install of the hawk 250 aftermarket exhaust. If you purchase this exhaust for your hawk 250 enduro dirt bike, please post a comment below and let me know how its working for you. I would also recommend swapping out your hawk 250 carburetor and replacing your jets with a 110 or 115 jet for your hawk 250, click here to read my post on the Mikuni hawk 250 carburetor. If you have over 1000 miles on your hawk 250, then you should also be checking your valves and making sure they are set correctly. You can find a video done by MotoCheez on how to check your valves, I have posted his guide on this website.
You see below how I got the holes drilled out on the flange that connects to the hawk 250 header. It wasn’t pretty but it got the job done. I’m sure there are better ways to do it. I’m not a mechanic, I just make it happen the best way I can lol.

What’s up guys, short post today. I spent most of the day working on my hawks. If you are on instagram or Facebook and following me, you should see more of what I was doing in the hawk 250 to get ready for spring riding.
I had a few people email me about their hawk 250 sprocket failing off or being wobbly when riding.
I posted a short YouTube video earlier that shows what you need to pay attention to when changing your hawk 250 sprockets
Here are some pictures of my process to remove the hawk rear sprocket and my trick for removing that clamp if you don’t have the correct tools like me lol. I will also embed the video once I get on the computer
Whats up fellow hawk 250 owners and future ones (what are you waiting for!). Today in the mail I got my new hawk 250 spoke skins I ordered from the hawk 250 shop, under the Spoke Skins category. I was excited to get started on these but first I had to take a quick nap to relax the mind haha. After the 2 hour nap, I was ready to get to work.
I would deff recommend doing these during the day when its sunny out and you can let the skins sit in the sun to warm up and loosen up. It was a pain to work with them in the cold. My poor fingers are still feeling it as I type this post. I also recommend cleaning the rim, it will make things a lot smoother as you will see in the video below. The front rim went a lot quicker compared to the back rim because it was cleaner.
In the video you will see me starting to clean the rear rim but the I got lazy and skipped it lol, but it gave me a headache of a time installing the rear ones. I’m sure if they sat in the sun a bit, it would have been easier.

Hawk 250 Pictures from Installing Spoke Covers
Some quick images from the install of the hawk 250 spoke skin cover protectors. This was a fun little project to do in the garage and it didn’t cost me a fortune. I really like the way it came out, I still need to tweak a little to make it a snug tight fit but we are almost there. Tomorrow I will finish this off.
