Just Got My New Exhaust for The Hawk 250

3 Comments

I ordered a new exhaust from eBay on the 19th and I just got it delivered this morning by DHL, that was super fast shipping from China. If you are interested in seeing all of the upgrades I did for my Hawk 250 RPS including the exhaust,.

You will need the make the holes bigger on the bracket. The bolts on the hawk are too far apart to fit thru the holes on he bracket. I recommend using at least a 1/2in or bigger drill bit that is for stainless steel/hard steel. I used a 3/8 drill bit and it was a pain.

Here are some pictures of the finished product. I will be posting a new article with more images of the install.

How to Change Sprockets on Hawk RPS 250

19 Comments

This shorthawksprockets17t guide will show you the steps to change your sprockets on your Hawk RPS 250 Enduro dirt bike. The sprockets I went hawksprockets45twith are JT Sprockets 45T and JT Sprockets 17T. You can purchase Hawk 250 Upgrades by clicking here. You will also find other Sprocket sizes depending on your needs.

 

Step 1. You will need to remove your rear tire and the cover for the front sprocket on top of the gear shiftier. There are 2 bolts holding the cover for the front sprocket.

Step 2.

The next thing I worked on was the rear tire. You will need to remove the 4 bolts holding the sprocket and the clip (red arrow).

It could be a pain to remove the clip if you don’t have the right tools for the job, which is what normally happens to me lol. I was able to get it off but it wasn’t pretty. I’m sure there are needle-nose pliers to make the job easier.

Put the new sprocket on and make sure it sits on straight and then put the nuts on and after that the clip. Check the sprocket after to make sure its not on a angle or misaligned.

Step 3. Once you have removed the cover for the front sprocket, you will need to remove the 2 small bolts and then turn the clip holding the sprocket until it comes off.

Once you have removed the old sprocket, put the new one and put it back together the same way. Rotate the clip until it lines up with the bolt holes and make sure its secured.

With the front sprocket I put on my hawk 250, I had to grid off some of the metal on the cover so it could be put back together. You might be able to put it back without grinding it but a few members have reporting having to grind the edge to clear it.

You can see below where I had to grind some metal off the cover case.

Disclaimer: I have no mechanical experience when it comes to working on motorcycles. Everything I have learned has been from either breaking it and needing to figure it out to get back on the road or watching youtube videos. I’m sure there are better methods to do some of the stuff I’m showing you here but this is how I got it done and it worked for me. Read at your own risk and if there is anything I can help you with, please contact me.

Morning Ride with 2 Hawk 250s and a Suzuki DRZ4000 Bikes

Leave a comment

Great day riding today with Bek and MotoMania_420. Moto hooked us up and changed our cheap spark plugs. Started riding around 1030am. 

Took a ride to a motorcycle dealer ship for some oil for the Suzuki DRZ400. We checked out some motorcycles way out of our budget. The Honda dealer ship was impressed with the hawk 250 RPS dirt bikes and was interested in importing them and parts, that would be nice. 

Getting some of that super fuel. Motomania_420 flexing them muscles. 

While Moto changes his oil on the Suzuki DRZ400,  Bek and I getting some cheeseburgers. 

Then we got some milkshakes from the Mobil gas station. The cookies and cream is the one I usually go for. 

Went back to MotoMania_420 house and he saw the milkshakes and we had to come back and get him one. 

After destroying the milkshakes, we hit up route 52 and pulled over by the overlook by SAMs point. 

Moto getting some hotdogs. 

The hawk 250 and Suzuki DRZ400 make a nice couple. 

Bek had to go home to do some laundry, so MotoMania_420 and I hit some rocky downhill trails and my damn battery died on the camera and I missed some good footage. I was able to get a picture instead of the hawk 250 RPS and Suzuki DRZ400 with a beautiful scenic background.

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

Leave a comment

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.

Quick Ride With Hawk 250 to get Milk

Leave a comment

Woke up this morning and there was sunshine so I went for a quick ride to get some milk and fill up the hawk 250. I love riding in the mornings when there is a bit of a chill outside.

I have saved a lot of gas money using the hawk 250 dirt bike to go light grocery shopping, instead if my KIA. This was a great investment in a starter bike for someone looking to learn how to ride and work on their dirt bikes.

Looks like this will be the only riding for the rest of the week and weekend, shows rain and thunderstorms. Hopefully there is some sunshine and I can sneak out for a ride on my hawk 250 dirt bike.
