Great vid on the chain guide...thanks so much buddy. I need to have a think on another solution, will purchase one ( heck probably 2 for $5 bucks each ) and stare at it for a week to come up with some ideas, which I will share if I devise something. Stay safe my friend.
Looks sick. Was gonna do mine white. Just ordered blue bars so I'll keep it blue, and bite your gold wheels. Subaru WRX world rally Hawk China edition 😁
@@xmoto7377 nice! I got my chain stay sorted and ran the bike today. got the battery on charge now over night and will put it through a few more heat cycles tomorrow.
I was just looking at my DLX chain guide and it is definitely off. I wouldn't have noticed if it was for your video. This is my only motorcycle with a chain.
Hi x Moto my name's is Christopher, long island N.Y. I have a 2020 tbr7, white also. I'm curious about those light pods you have on the sides of the headlight. I have a L.E.D upgraded. bulb on mine, but it's an H-6 bulb. Better than stock, and the best lighting I can get from it is to mount it 180' out from where it should be, now high beam is my low, low beam is my high. Correctly installed I would have poor lighting and no high beam.it's MUCH better than stock (still sucks). How do you like those pods? I can't tell from the video how you mounted them, link?. Safe riding Christopher
Christopher Okeefe hey!! So I found them on eBay and I LOVE them, I wired them into my high beam switch and they work amazing because even with my headlight LED bulb the housing is not very good and does not direct the light, the lights come with mounts and I put them where the headlight bolts into place, I only found them on eBay (50$) I believe they were called Cree LED motorcycle lights I might be able to find a link if I can I'll reply again with it. I'd say they are 20x brighter than the upgraded headlight with a LED bulb.
It does make the bike look good! Thanks for this! Just got my TBR7 5 weeks ago. Ny rurn signals in the back work fine, but the left in the front shines week, and the one front right never worked. Anyone know why? BTW awesome upgrade on the port and polish/carb!
My 250 DLX Hawk . I installed a brake light LED that pulse and same thing when u run the bike it will pulse . If u turn ignition on without engine running it won't I thought about the resistor too if that would make a difference.
definitely give it a go, i never tried my resisters since it turns out my turn signals are not really even the total sequential ones, and as long as my battery is not overcharged my signals will work correctly now when the bike is off. try the resisters and get back to me im, curious!
@@charlesdonawayiii3396 torque of the bike does not change with the different gear ratio, will it effect the acceleration? Yes it will, but honestly it dident feel like much. If you are looking to do wheelies tho definitely don't put on a 40 tooth
I didn’t pay attention to the order of the spacers when I took the back wheel off, I have 1 larger spacer and 2 small spacers. I think the larger one goes on the chain side? Any ideas?
@@xmoto7377 if anyone ever needs a future reference-it’s large spacer on the sprocket side, 2nd largest fits in wheel on brake side between caliper and the smallest fits between caliper and the swing arm. It only works in one configuration but this could help someone like me who didn’t pay attention taking it apart 😆
Do yourself a big favor. Get new tires. The factory tires are basically bicycle tire quality. You will see once you remove them. They are not safe at all. I went with shinko E705's. 110/80-19 and 130/80-17. Shinko's are tubeless tires but I put tubes in them. The difference is amazing. Best upgrade. And I've done them all. New chain and sprockets. New carb 30mm jetted with 105 main jet. New exhaust. Oil cooler and cargo box with integrated turn signals and brake lights
That sounds like one solid build! I have been browsing tires for a while now and since the season is over I probably won't put a new set on until spring, but thanks for the recommendation! i was looking at the 705's!
But wait... when you removed the rear sprocket you left out the important footage of struggling with the f!@*^#! snap ring for 20 mins, repeatedly almost getting it off, pinching your fingers, cursing like a sailor and all that other good stuff.....LOL
Thanks for increasing my parts listXD I thought my ghetto bike was supposed to be cheap.

WRX rally edition 🤣 I love it
Keep up the good work. You're doing great. Also you should post some links to where you buy your stuff if you haven't already.
Thanks! And okay maybe I'll make a video talking about all of the mods I've done to the bike and include links in the description!
@@xmoto7377 if it's easier to drop me an email then that would be awesome. Stay safe out there.
@@Islandsilvia yea I can drop you an email once I get some time to gather up all the links, I'll still post a video for others as well though
Aight sounds good.

Wish I had seen this before buying my machine
nice work, I'm prepping my hawk250 now, will definitely be moving the chain stay
wheels look great
gave you a sub too brother
have a great weekend
Thanks man I really appreciate it!! You never know you might win the giveaway cam for your hawk!

U think the tape could be used instead of the screw? I have to fix same issue and I like the tape idea
Max K honestly yes I think so, as long as you clean both the swing arm and the guard really well and use a very strong double sided tape
How did you get that exhaust to line up with your mounting bracket
Some people get theirs to line up, but mine did not so I added a small piece of pipe to extend it a little so it reaches one of the threaded holes.
DID YOU STRIP THE WHEELS BEFORE PAINT OR JUST GO OVER THE BLACK
It's not paint it's plastidip
Hey bud I got ams oil saw 10 40 but its synthetic is that okay to put in this tao?
Yes that is exactly what I use
What was your top speed after installing that sprocket?
Which sprocket? Top speed of my bike is roughly 75 mph on my current setup
@@xmoto7377 did torque take a major hit with that 40 in the back

Thick spacer should be on sprocket side I believe
@@xmoto7377 yes, are both the thinner spacers stacked on top of each other?
@@Hope4thebroken1 I believe so yes

Yea I did 😂 it also fell off the snap ring pliers and flew across the room like a UFO. Just tried to keep the vid a little shorter
@@xmoto7377 NO doubt, I cut that part of my video out as well, but I was sure to mention how I wanted to kill that snap ring.
