Hawk 250 Upgrades - Clutch and Brake Levers, Windshield and Top Speed Run

- I've completed a few modifications on the Hawk 250 including a set of clutch and brake levers, an aftermarket windshield installation and then I managed to get in a top speed run. The Hawk will never be a bike made for the highway, but it's good enough for the occasional run. Below I have listed the links (Paid Amazon Links) to the clutch and brake levers and the windshield I used just in case you want to do the same.

Everybody keeps saying "it's not a highway bike"
I mean sure, I wouldn't do a cross country trip, but I'd have no qualms with a six hour ride. If you put a little money into a better carb, muffler, sprockets etc. and don't weight 250lbs you can get it up to around 75mph. That's the charm of this bike. It's for people that just want a bike to ride occasionally, or it's a very good modding platform for people who like to tinker and want a unique bike. I plan on modding it to squeeze all the performance I can out of a 250cc because that's the fun part. I also want a small displacement general purpose bike for street and trail, and with a little love this bike will make a great Jr adventure dual sport. You can get the bike for about $1,500 and by the time you have around $3,000 in it it'll be better than any used $3,000 bike in the 250cc range.
True statement
Nailed it 100%
Bought these levers for the DLX model - fits perfectly. Needed some adjustment to the clutch cable, but otherwise fine. Thanks for the tips
Wow 70 or so. Not bad at all really for a cheap bike it will have to do. With cost of gas this bike is a wise alternative to driving my car
I got them on and they work great with better feel. The clutch side needed grinding down like yours but the switch does line up. Probably because it's technically not the Hawk but Bashan BSR Enforcer they look the same.
Nice bike and thanks for sharing. 🏍🏍
Nice windscreen. I may get that same one
DID you put a bolt in to control movement. Have same good video. Just received henner key .Are you going to do it. Great way yo learn. Thanks.RKJ
Getting mine tomorrow 🎉
One of the fastest 250s out there
Can you put on handguards without modifying the new handel's?
Anyone know what other bikes rear brake lever i could order to replace the Hawks? Mine broke almost instantly.
Nice windshield
Thoughts on taller riders using the windscreen? I'm 6'4" and I'm wondering if there would be any buffeting at my height. Would you still recommend the wind screen for a commuter build?
Just ordered a set for $16 because it was a return but like new. For that price I figure why not go for it.
Mine does not make contact with the break switch at all. Any thoughts on why that may be?
Where did you order your seat cover at? I wanna get one.
where did u find the windshield
Nice upgrades! Curious, what turn signals are those you've installed?

Jack of All Master of None thanks!
Where do I get a new throttle cable,. Mine some how striped inside the throttle chamber
Also I need a new clutch mound mine is broken completely
Hey, just got one of these bikes. I see the MadDog seat cover. Did you have to do any alterations to make it fit properly? The regular seat starts to hurt my bum after 50 miles.
No. It fits and is a common "mod" for the Hawk. It still hurts my rear on long rides but is better than stock.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Thanks for the reply, I have one on order now. :)
I used a saw-blade knife to cut out some of the foam on my hawk's seat and the put the MadDog cover over it so it fit better.
Did you have to do anything extra to get the levers to fit? Wanting to get a set but want sure if you have to do any manipulation for fit. Thanks in advance
I show in the video what I had to do. Not much. They fit as is but I chose to do a little grinding on the one.
Was the engine upgrade you did earlier worth it? I never saw an update video on the performance increase/loss. Seemed like a lot of work. Hope you got some better torque/speed out of her! I have a 2021 xt250 EFI and I can get it up to 82mph at 145lbs 6ft tall.
I did multiple videos on it. Overall it was a decent upgrade. Probably not worth the price to most people, but it was a fun project. Top speed is only around 72mph with my gearing. Plenty fast though.
Wow 145 at six feet tall. Eat. Your starving
Funny thing is I don’t know why I don’t see a lot of modifications to these bikes I know there are 230 Engine the biggest you can go already installed but it you should have videos of people really modeling Bikes out to go 90 or 100 mph like they do scooters I’m trying to see if I really want to buy these bikes but it’s hard when they aren’t really are not a series modifications to these bikes videos particular
Is that a seat cover it’s so sick where did you get it from

I just ordered the gold levers for my tt250 but it's definitely thicker on the clutch side .. I haven't tried to put them on yet but I'm not sure if they will fit .. looks like definitely there will be a lot of grinding to be done . Any thoughts on this?
Not sure. The tt250 actually has different levers than the Hawk.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone yeah I just learned that.. but it was a free return so no worries but you can get same type of levers that have the brake reservoir attached and it's all just plug n play for like 40 bucks
Grom levers fit the Hawk
Not a bad top speed. I only weigh 110 soaking wet so I'm wondering if I can get mine a couple miles an hour faster. If I can hit 75 on flat, I'll be ecstatic. Saia LTL needs to stop playing with my heart and deliver the bike already. It's been a half hour away from me for the past 4 days.
Did you set an appointment for them to drop it?
Mine got here last Wednesday...already jetted stock carb, replaced tires and more to come. Hope you get it with no hassle
How did you get the clutch cable on I'm having trouble putting mine on
I'm not sure how to answer this comment. It goes on just like the old one came off. May have to be adjusted at either end. It's a pretty universal process.
I was always told to start a bike holding the clutch anyways, then make sure I'm in neutral. So for that being the only issue on newer and better levers, I think that's a fair trade.
I agree 100%
You can find a replacement for the exact part at TX Motor sports.
Yeah. Too much money and takes a long time to get. It's riding season.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone ok, yes that is fair, and they are very expensive, just the clutch lever alone for my bike cost $40
I ordered this bike from them in feb on the pre order. still waiting. says they are in stock now. customer service there is terrible.
@@resatchel4389 Got mine after a week of ordering it, its probably because like you said it was a pre order
Did I count you shifting 5 times ?? I mean as in a six speed
Yes th-cam.com/video/xMRi5PVR3tQ/w-d-xo.html
Where did you find that seat cover?
Amazon
Where you get that seat?
That's just a universal ATV seat pad. Can buy on Amazon or eBay.
did you put any performance mods or is that completley stock?
Different engine so not stock at all
Jack of All Master of None Do you mind sharing what motor you’re running?

@@JackofAllMasterofNone Thanks!
I’m 6’2 and 183 pounds am I too big?
Nope. Should fit well.
Not at all, I'm 6'4" (193cm) and anywhere from 240-250 lbs (108-113kg) and I'm pretty comfortable on my 2022 DLX model
Edit: oh and my dad enjoys putting around the yard and he's 6'7"
Are you in Arkansas
