Picked the same bike up last spring, it has been fantastic. As long as you understand what your buying, the Zhongshen motor is excellent and similar in performance to the old Honda XR series of 40 years ago albeit with a better frame and suspension. Stay on top of the maintenance and these are really fun little bikes.
One thing to do is pop your tailight off and caulk around the inlet where the wires go into it, this will keep water out and reduce the chances of vibration breaking the solder joints.
It does look very xrish now you mention it. Cylinder head looks identical
I would not jump that 250 like I did on my XL600 . The XR was dirt only back then
😂😂😂😂 getting paid to push Chinese crap?
@@chrisgomez3078no points case though. My sister, Brenda big a hole through her leg with that 78 XL points case
@@JohnSmith-vo2cl didn't understand a word you just said , big night bro?
I have a 21’ Hawk 250 5 speed. I love it! Just keep the oil changed and your bolts and spokes tight and you’re g2g!! 3k miles on mine so far
We ride Can-Am,Polaris…. Went on a trip with a buncha guys… one brought a Korean/Chinese made 450 4wheeler… we did 350 miles in 21/2 days, it held up pretty well though 2 gnarly crashes, guy had fun and it was cheap!!
While I was putting mine together I put the Nibbi carburetor on and the Nibbi ignition FYI attach your fuel hose to your carburetor before you install it it will make it much much easier! NGK I radium spark plug. Changed the rear sprocket to 42 teeth and RK chain. Drain the oil before I ever startedhundredpercent synthetic 10 W 40.. Everything is lubed and loctite . The only complaint that I have about the motorcycle is the body panels can be a bit of a pain. Other than that for $2100 delivered to the house if nothing else it was a fun project. $300 worth of aftermarket parts increases of the reliability.
I got the orange 5 speed model in november!! Love this bike! Got it registered and I ride back and forth to work. Great bike!
That's the one I'm interested in getting, the 5 speed model with the kick start for back up. Cool looking bikes and the price is really great.
@@trevorjameson3213 it is definitely well worth it! I am going to get a nibbi pe30 carb for it soon!!
Yep, the Templar’s are beasts and a heck of a deal. The real gem of that bike is the frame and that Zongshen ZS 172fmm engine. Bulletproof. if Honda isn’t going to give us an XR250, the Chinese will take up the slack. Good vid!
😂
This is absolutely correct. The big manufacturers are giving away the business by allowing their dealers to push customers into the arms of previously unknown companies and realizing they are now building basic, acceptable bikes. Poor decision making by management.
what are you saying. first there is no beast here. dont you know bikes. second honda still make trail bikes. what about crf250f. much better than your chinese bastard scrap. and dont tell me about the price.
@@michaeldavison430 real manufacturers dont need broken nobody looser as client. they leave that to the chinese crooks.
@@claudemarchand1196how old are you?
Love this style content right beside the truck content , love to see more of this , I’m sure u can absolutely build tf outta that bike even tho it is Chinese, they are pretty good and reliable bikes and can do a lot to them and parts are very affordable and easy to find also a TON of aftermarket support if u want more power or looks , pretty solid bike
Bought the X-Pro Titan two years ago, love it. I tell everyone that sees it and falls in love with it that it’s not a real motorcycle, but for the money can’t be beat
Not a real Motorcycle, what's you discription of a real motorcycle ?
@@micwell2247not made of cheese
Kx 250 2 stroke would be A definition of a REAL MOTORCYCLE.
1982 Suzuki 1100 GS GL shaft drive would be A definition of a REAL MOTORCYCLE.
Anything that smug motorcycle gatekeeping purists prefer is a REAL motorcycle.
A good and honest review with some good assembly tips along the way.
I always like to turn the bars back and forth over and over when putting the front cable and wiring into place to make sure nothing binds .
P.S. The thing with the little bracket at 10:14 is actually the signal flasher not a fuse.
Ran into the same issue with the throttle cable (Turning right would red line it). I re-ran the throttle cable in front of the display and it solved the issue. Also, the brake light only comes on when the back brake is used. Kinda funky, but if you don't intend to use it on the street I wouldn't worry about it. Love mine so far.
Your property there is beautiful! Looks like a win on the $2,000 bike! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Take a look. That chain needs some proper slack when on the stand. As the suspension compresses it tightens the chain. This can cause the chain to stress the counter-shaft and crack the engine case.
That will certainly happen if the chain is too tight! At best, it will only destroy the counter-shaft bearing and oil seal. It drives me crazy when I see a motorcycle with the chain too tight, they have no idea how bad that is.
You do know that every bike is different tho right? Some get looser when suspension is compressed, some stay the same, an some tighten. But good advice to check tension at all suspension loads.
@@trevorjameson3213 theres fine line between too tight and too loose also. too loose the chain will jump off the rear sprocket and rocket into your engine case (can be bad or really bad depending on whats in front of the chain on that engine)
I appreciate you making the video. My personal experience with owning some Chinese motorcycles is that the metal is sub par, so bolts are constantly striping or breaking, along with brackets bending or breaking. Electrical gremlins, carburetor issues. When you go to buy parts there's no consistency in parts manufacturing and the china ads don't always list precise sizes, so you don't know if what you're ordering will fit. My neighbor has only ever bought china dirtbikes and every camping trip we are either working on them before we leave or working on them the entire trip or both. Ive had my experience with them and for a little more money I just buy used Japanese brands and they work every time I pull them out of the shed
Being a long time deep woods off trail rider, This is what exactly why I would buy one;
250 means short stroke, ain't gonna chuck you out over the handle bars like a 650 would/will in first grear low speed low reves.
No raditor to poke a tree/scrub oat branch through ( solid core oil cooleer added ). 6 speed, so when you do the road there is no whinding the engine out till is pukes holding high speed (which it was never meant to do ). Just the ticket I've been/was looking for over and above my XR650L. Welcomed addition for sure....
I have a DR650 so I know what you mean about trying to ride tight woods trails with it! Man, those big singles are a handful at low revs, so much torque. I'm thinking about getting one of these chinese 250's also, but I do realize it's not going to be anywhere near the quality of a Honda or Suzuki. A friend of mine I ride with has an XR650L and we take them to Colorado to ride the gnarly mountain trails. They're great, especially when we ride on the highway to get to the mountains from town, great on the road no doubt. But man they are heavy on the trails, they'll wear you out by the end of the day. Lol. I think a small 250 would be great!
I have the same bike, I got it about 6 months ago, and it is great! Maxes out at 68 mph. The only issues I have had is the sticky starter button, and the rear brake reservoir isn't filled completely with brake fluid. Other than that I don't like that I have to hold in the front or rear brake to start it, so no emergency roll starting. Amazing value for the money
What it has the same start only with the brake on like my sister's Yamaha quad . I am glad my KLR doesn't have that . My battery ran down and luckily I was in a little hill . Or I would have to make a call ( probably too far for Matt's off-road recovery being here in Texas)
Please defeat this look for video, or know how to default to be able to bump start...
Guys it will push/bump start. Did it 3 times already on Templar X. It appears the engagement of the brake lever must only be to activate the starter. How: 1. Ignition on 2. Reasonable speed (about as fast as a adult can push you / or about 10mph rolling downhill). 3. Pop clutch from 2nd or 3rd. If your bike will not start all of a sudden. It is most likely the that stupid cheap glass fuse setup near the battery. The fuse was good. In my case the fuse vibrated enough to a point it was not making good contact. I wiggled it around and all power came back on. Really good idea to replace that with a blade fuse setup. If that does not solve. One of the battery terminals may have vibrated a little loose causing a poor connection. Ensure they are tight.
Loved the video man I've been looking into getting a 110 for my son and after watching your video I'm probably going to pick up this bike for myself thanks for giving an honest review because a lot of people out there reviewing it against a name brand bike just talks trash about the Chinese bike the whole time everyone has their opinion but I'm glad you had an honest review of this bike thank you
I’m getting this for my nephew now! What a great video man! Keep up the great videos🤟
the throttle deal is been well documented in other videos. seems the cable is a touch short.. Something else you need to do is bed the brakes.. 3-4 high speed stops from like 5th gear to almost stop then ride a bit to cool rotors.. just like car/truck brakes. good video.. :)
I want to see you review it again after you have ridden it 5000 miles and see how you feel about it then. If it goes that far. When you buy a Motorcycle, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. Good luck!
They’ve actually proven to be pretty tough and reliable. Theres un-biased reviews already out there. Bikes & Beards bought one of these as a joke and tried to grenade it and they couldn’t do it. They even dumped it into a pond at one point.
I have 3k on my hawk 250 5speed. I also have a 2015 Vulcan 900 and I’d never sell the Hawk. They’re so easy to work on and the parts are very inexpensive
Looks like a steel frame. Pass
I have about 3k on my hawk 250efi, rode hard and put away wet.. standard maintenance before each ride. And I even screwed up and rode over 1k miles with 2 quarts over filled. Oil dumps into the air box completely f'd everything..but bike ran like nothing was wrong 😅, realized that. Fixed it, and she runs just the same. Bike is fine. It's the critics that have issues
@@wannabecarguy what’s wrong with a steel frame? 5 or 10 years ago I would agree with you about Chinese steel, but that’s not the case any more. Many riders say aluminum is too stiff and prefer the little flex you get from steel, even some top level MX pros prefer it.
I swapped the carb and took the rear rack off and turn signals off and it looked better did better with a new carb and the rest of the bike did super well no reason to buy a 5k bike unless your gonna race it hard
Yeah I bought the same one swapping the carb helped it out a lot
I got the 2023 M model orange n black. 5 speed kick electric start... street legal in NY ( so most likely st legal anywhere)... my first MCO said "off road motorcycle", i asked them to send me a "motorcycle" MCO n that came in days. Excellent customer service. Bike is in excellent shape no damage. Im excited about it, painted rims gold, took carb off, rejetted it, nice seat cover, new sprockets, and tires for the st....
I rode a 91 XR 250 for 23 years and maybe changed the oil 4 or 5 times and I might have changed the plug once but that’s about it. Rings finally shit the bed but I can go out and top off the oil and fire it up with one kick and ride it all day adding oil when it quits blowing out the breather. It’s bulletproof. It’s an XR not a n Xpro
That's awesome and yeah that's a Honda for you! Stone reliable and lasts forever. I have a '99 XR250R (different from the '91's, remember they changed them in '96). Anyway I bought this XR brand new in '99 and still have it. So far, the engine is still doing fine, not smoking or using much oil. I have no clue how many hours are on this bike, but I've been riding it regularly and taking it to the mountains almost every year since I bought it. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it, quality is incredible on the old Hondas.
@@trevorjameson3213Hondas are amazing I’m looking into getting my first dirt bike looking at a xr250 I have a 2018 Honda foreman 500 4x4 with 1400 miles and 480 hours it’s seen the bottom of lake Lanier many times when I was younger now I use it as a tractor to move cars and charge dead car batteries it survived a tornado once it runs good still I just recently changed the oil for the 3rd time since new only thing that’s broken is the 4x4 acutator a few cv axles and a wheel bearing
You should do regular Maintenance. Bragging about never changing the Oil, just shows you’re too lazy to keep up Maintenance on anything. I’d hate to see how you treat your Car or Truck…
I just bought this exact bike on Jan 20 2024, shipped Monday the 22nd. Still haven’t received it yet but it has a delivery date of Jan 29th. Haven’t gotten my mso yet either. Looking forward to it! Bought from PowerSportsMax
What color did you choose ?
Did it arrive?
@@micwell2247 red
@@KrisRoberts114 it sure did yesterday! I’m gonna make a video on it
I bout the same bike a year or 2 ago X pro m only the 5 speed but had the backup kick start was honestly one of the best bikes you get when you buy a china bike sometimes you get a lemon sometimes you get something competitive worthy to a Honda only issue I ever had was a fuse next to the battery kept blowing for some reason 5 speed hit 63 mph pretty easy
That is a great bike, can't beat for 2 grand. I would go through it make sure everythings tight, check chane tension and check and make sure the air filters right and oiled and just keep an eye on it and take care of it and it probably be a good bike for having fun in the trials. It's not a racer and it's probably a little heavy but would be good for trialing around
Wow the needle and seat leaking right off the rip lol. That filter screen pops right out. I may have to break down and get a bike like that but once you hit the $3500 mark it’s time to look at Japanese bikes. Regardless, a pumper carb on works wonders.
I used to have good luck with China carbs on small engines but the last few I bought all had a leaking needle and seat. Annoying
Im going to buy one of these this spring. These look like a real riot and a whole lotta fun to be had cheap.
Going up a hill and sliding back on that metal rack wouldn’t be that fun 😂😂, also I new immediately which store you were at because of the 110😂 I love Maxs and my parents have been long time friends with Mr.Max.
Good job with the vid. Definitely a "kid at Christmas " situation. Hope you are having good luck with the machine.
China engines are so underrated and just passed off as junk but as someone who buys used ones, i can confidently say, the only issues i have are due to lack of maintenance or just past failure due to age or neglect, often a new carby is needed, a starter solenoid and cdi, i literally found a crossfire x250r at the dump, showed it some love and cheap ebay parts and now it runs perfect.
Hy, she looks very good, and very complete. In France the chinese bike are not complete like this. And we cannot go on the road. Good rides. Kris
Keep us posted on your upgrades and modifications. I'm looking to get one next fall or next spring!
Let’s go!!!! Ready for some bike content! 🔥🔥🔥
This doesn’t mean no Fourwheeler!
Goood! I'm looking forward to the fourwheeler
i think that if u do get a fourwheeler get a new 520 honda atv. they are great bikes for everything. I'd love to see some riding content and or mudding content aswell!
@@datredfd9364as someone who’s been on multiple 520s throughout the years i can happily say there great machines
I’ve owned many and most happy with my 2021 KQ 750!
Renegade or outty
Love the vids man keep ‘em comin
Durability, reliability, and longevity or yet to be seen on may Chinese dirt bikes and quads. Also parts availability can be a problem. Also finding a shop to work on them can be an issue.
Most of the parts I buy a Chinese for outdoor power equipment I repair, and the quality is good. The Chinese quality has come way up from years ago.
Glad you like the bike.
There's a reason why there's cheap oil in there. Because it's the best to break in a motor guarantee. It's breaking old in the motor that you're supposed to run a couple of tanks through To seat the rings in
That's what I was thinking, it's probably break-in oil (straight mineral oil?).
Should make a drain hole while you have the cover off! Carbs are always junk on these! good video smooth ride!
Great review and video of the assembly. I'm still considering one of these bikes, but probably the regular version with the kick starter. The only thing holding me back is where to get parts for these bikes, such as brake pads, sprockets, clutch plates, and other parts that I know it will need at some point.
Amazon! Seriously
Loving the vids man keep it up
Great video my dude. Just a tip when installing linkages and axle's make sure you use water proof grease. Also grease the steering tube bearings. From factory even on brand name bikes this needs to be done. Otherwise bearing replacements will be common in your future, depending on where you live. Here in the PNW I have to do this every 6 to 9 months. Also your chain looks tight AF. Def want to have some slack in the chain or you can brake the chain and that can get you hurt or break the bike. Braappp
The oil strainer screen with small magnet add to the oil can under the Hawk XPRO instead of Pleated cartridge/paper filtration filter.
Them 110s are fun to ride tho, seat riser and handle bar risers, and protaper bars in 6,3 and 200 and I enjoy mine with a yz125 as my main bike I have a brand new crf 110 it’s fun,
I got the Hawk when it was still under $1400. Best purchase I ever made, I've saved at least twice that much in gas instead of driving my truck.
Hi from Texas. New Subscriber. I think that’s a Great Deal. If you don’t have a lot of Money but want a Dirt Bike to hit the Trails on, why not get this. After you get the bugs out, and keep up with the Maintenance. These will hopefully last a long Time. I have a Predator 8500 Watt Generator that has a Chinese Engine, and it very reliable. It always Starts right up and hasn’t Sputtered once in the 3 Years I’ve had it so far. Thanks for the Review, I’m thinking I would like to have one. The Price is definitely right.👍👍
Awesome video I have one, wish I had your video when I put it together, I’ve already put a Nibbi 28 carb on it, the stock carb would be fine if it was adjustable for fuel mixture
Thank you! Toward the very end of the video you mentioned the stock setup maybe being too tall for someone under 5'6" or 5'7" and that you could not flat foot it. What is you height and inseam please? Thank you! This video was super helpful!
Literally was planning on ordering one in a few weeks 😂
Not bad for the money . I have had a 1980 KX 125 a 1984 XL 600 and a 92 KX 500 all bought new . The 600 was 4,800 out the door plus 200 more for one year extended warranty and 5,200 for my 500 . Now I ride a 09 KLR 650 that I got for 3,000 . So a new bike for 2,100 . A lot more people can afford that and later get something more expensive If they want .
But for the money not bad. As long as you don't mind fixing new stuff, route that throttle cable right turn bars all the way many times to test while idling idling
If the brakes start making a noise, replace the Calliper mounting bolts for quality ones before anything else as Chinese ones generally stretch.
The carburator is Bikini NIPPI 32mm bore - hard to find. The 30mm carb. Is Hongda sounds like Honda Hong Kong motor bike designer. The Raven or Screamer is the model of base Hawk.
Great looking bike! I just paid 5x what you did when I picked up a 2024 Honds CRF450RL.
You that was a slick way to put that spring on! In the 25 years I have been working on cars and bike, I have never seen that trick before.
Stealing it.
You’ll have to do mileage reviews. I’m interested to see how it holds up. Thanks for the video man!
whats your opinion on the thornbirds ? wear fast ? hwy manners ? 6 inch 33x12.50 10 wide rub ?
That what I was going to say it sounds good the best thing when getting any ne bike is to go over everything before ya ride cable could be just hanging up the throttle cable
The Dirt bike have JT sprocket 15 tooth and a rear sprocket 50 tooth connect to 428 drive roller chain. This guy from Canada has a Hawk and he install high performance stainless steel exhaust pipe one piece and made it louder with bigger hole in tail pipe than original 2 pieces black oxide exhaust pipe plus stainless steel wing nut collar for double attached flange and 2 nuts and Finned washers connect to cylinder.
First day out my boys bike the clutch basically bent. Cheap parts. Jus change them all out and you should be ok. All little tunes.
Seeing your son come down the stairs and hug you was very wholesome, I wish I had a son who I could bond like that with
They’re not hard to make. lol.
It was very sweet though. Cute kid.
@@chiliboom6140 finding a woman is hard enough, especially one who wants kids and will be loyal
@@JustCallMeRock That’s fair. Well, best of luck man.
Visually this looks awesome. It is really cool but what do you do when you need to do a top end or get replacement parts? I cant see wiseco making a piston kit for this one lol. Does it share parts with any of its japanese counterparts? Also 2nd Gen tacoma gang in that picture of the KTM hahaha
Love the vids keep up the good work
Is this big enough to do some casual trail riding ? 6”2 250 pnds
I’m looking for the 250 cc with a 6 speed, I know they are made, but hard to find. Any suggestions? Great video, I like the instructions given. Thanks!
Good vid. Makes me want to get back into bikes again. But where to ride around here? Is this street legal in NY?
The racing dirt motorcycle HAOSEN Zhongshen Hawk XPRO 139cc Does it have dear brake foot lever that went above the foot floor peg. Otherwise the TAOTAO have the brake foot lever bar that goes under the foot peg toward to the master cylinder for rear disc brake.
Sorry I’ve been commenting late. I’ve had some family problems. Keep up the great content man
Hope you’re good man
What is the blue stuff in the yellow pack for? Is it grease?
What a nice piece of property
Man those thornbirds look sweet on the gmc
How long would it last? Like frame, motor and etc... Does it comes with warranty?
By the way, do not try to use nylon lock nuts on the exhaust pipe bolts that go into the cylinder head. Also do not use any kind of loctite. In fact there are some types of nuts that lock at the top of their threads that seizes the bolts that you are screwing it onto. I forgot the name of the nut type but it is what's needed for any exhaust pipe whether it is a motorcycle or a car.
Lengthen the Throttle Cable or create some slack in one that is on it, might also ck out the Throttle Slid top of carb. , if not machined properly, they can stick. I would probably Upgrade the Carb..
20 years ago or so a fellow I worked with bought a motorcycle from Asia...i'm not sure what country or what company. However the lesson learned then was yes put blue Loctite on everything. I remember distinctly that it lost its exhaust pipe bolts that go into the cylinder head - three of the four fell out!
Or, just replace the ones that you find lose with 8.8 or 10.9 bolts. Many of those bolts OEM are grade 5 strength bolts, they stretch and threads deform, and easily strip. Ace hardware's got most everything you need esp in farm towns, cuz people gotta fend for themselves.
if we need to order a part for the bike how would i get the parts? it seem like its hard to find parts for these bikes. I ordered mines today. Is it a way we can upgrade the engine to 300cc? or make the bike faster?
Is the throttle cable kinked or is the slide sticking in the carburetor?
The mixture of fasteners is amazing! And expected...
Hows the apollo vs this? I cant decide for my first dirt bike. Only using it for dirt roads.
I like those Thornbirds on the GMC!!
Does it really use a mix of standard and metric hardware, or were you just using whatever tools you had laying around?
The XPRO Hawk have pink slip ownership title from China to your mailbox in 1 month for your brand new 2024 DVNOP 229cc Templar. The 520 pitch chain is normal for Super Chief 250 single cylinder bike Chongqing in natural aspirated carburetor and the XPRO have digital EFI. Did you ride on rough dirt trail in 6 gear?
Put a Nibbi carburetor on it!! It will be like night and day!😊
When I get one of those bikes that will be the first thing I do!
my start button was the same way, I unscrewed the screw on the bottom of the unit. don't remove it just a little lose.
Can you use replacement parts from Honda on it?
I bought an orange one to piss off my ktm racing pump friends 😂
before you start an offroad motorbike, you have to gently tap the carburettor to shut off the fuel, otherwise it will overflow, start by putting the motorbike down
Keep an eye on the timing chain tensioner! Good price.
No grease/lube on the bolts?
Whats the better carb to get for that bike??
Would have been great time to grease that linkage before lock tight nylon nuts on. It's bone dry
Sounds just like my old ‘76 Honda xl250. Looks a lot better though!
Does it have a kickstarter?
Rings won't seat and break in correctly running that Mobil 1 synthetic oil on break in. Need to run a good high quality mineral oil first for break in then switch to synthetic
Pretty cool. Like i said when you got the boys quad do that first oil change! Lol be a good cabin bike. Looks good for the price
What oil would you use in this bike ??
@@micwell2247 Any good quality 4-stroke motorcycle oil is good. You can't use automotive oil because of the friction modifiers that will cause the wet clutch to slip. Also automotive oil doesn't have the additives that are needed for a motorcycles gearbox. I usually run Honda GN4 or Yamalube in my bikes, but any of the name brand motorcycle oils are good.
From an ex motocross racer point of view it looks cheap and outdated. But if you just want to ride around and have some fun for a low price it is probably great. Not sure if how confident i would be on bigger jumps at a track.Though if you are a racer you probably go with a more expensive bike anyway. Looks like fun
Lady your nice with backing” b safe “
is it a bowl drain thats leaking?
Nice review, Thanks.
never watched a video of yours but i enjoyed all of it. my big concern was that sticky throttle but that upgraded carb should fix it. those cheap carbs are machined by kids in nasty factories i bet and it is just unable to slide up and down? just guessing but it is a big concern as you well know. love your home and land.
It honestly looks awesome
