I’ve been kicking the idea around of picking up one of those 250s to save on gas and have some fun doing it. Seems like a good deal for how cheap they are.
I’m 14 years old and I got mine 2 days ago and mine came with the same marks it’s the same bike gust blue not black for me it’s a good bike for my first on
How tall u is?
@@ke.alexytke.3149 I’m 5,5
How is it
@@ispgravy4233 it’s good I’ve have the bike for four months and it isn’t running know but I’m geting it fixed
@@kaylee7521 what’s it easy to assemble when you first got it? And changes you had to make? My first bike so thanks for the answers. Just turned 15
Hawks and Viper bikes are exactly the same bikes they are called Viber Xpros 150 also!!! We didn't really have to reject the carburetor we just had to take the plug out from under the carburetor where the air jet is and put a new longer air too fuel mixture jet screw in and it solved the bogging hesitations the Idler screw!! Dim bugs are worked out but we are going to put a 13 tooth cog on the motor for pulling so it will have quicker bottom 150cc Chinese 13.5HP you can get more power out of them if you do a carburetor and carburetor boot upgrade!! With an exhaust and manifold port and polish!! Don't forget to upgrade the motor oil because what comes in on factory is pretty much burnt Grease!! China oil!! USA brand wet clutch protection Motor oil is a indefinite needed upgrade to these bikes!! Good luck!! Okay!!! 👍👍👍
Nice video! I would like to go ride with y'all that place look really nice 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
I'm going down one tooth on the front hawk is 839 now plus shipping it will b a little quicker from the line i don't care if i lose 3 or 5 MPH
Love the video ❤ any issue?
hey man great video, is the hawk a good bike for beginners?
Yes, any new rider would be comfortable on it. Even the 250 unless you're a short person.

Well we got to watch the
250, when do we get to
Watch what the 150 will
do . Give the camera to
the other than he can fallow you .
Great video!
What you guy's should do is build a ramp and try to jump the pond
Yeah I've been wanting to build a sturdy wood jump haha
Awesome video man!! Especially since there isn’t many good ones about the xpro150 ! I just ordered the same one should be there in 10 days!! My first dirt bike! How’s it been since you bought it is it worth it ?!
Nice! They are fun if you're not worried about being street legal and just want to ride trails, lightweight. The only issue he had so far was when we popped the tube. He wanted better throttle response so he has been changing the jetting but he will be getting a better carb. Otherwise its worth the money. You can buy an older bike that's similar but you can find parts for these easier. basically any china knock off parts are OEM for these.
@@Trikekid84 noted !! Thanks a lot man that’s exactly what i wanna do just ride some trails!
Man, how are you doing with the bike?
Bike has been good, have not road since fall. Will be getting a better carb soon.
Where did you buy it from?
Mine was missing a spacer
Just got mine put together . Fired it up after checking oil and putting in gas and smoke is coming off the outside of engine , is this normal?
@@danielsimpson2814 I’d say so, it’s probably just the paint. It’ll do that for a few rides. Do some heat cycles, go easy at first, let it cool down, ride again a little harder, do lots of engine breaking where you just accelerate and decelerate, that will break in the rings well.
I have the same looking dirt bike but I dont know where can you buy new plastics?
How does it do on BIG hills when trail climbing. This vid dont do justice cause that other bike couldt do the hills im wondering about.
Need to be in first, not much torque compared to the shark, and even that doesn't have much torque. We will have more videos on it but needs carb work right now haha.
It would will have more torque if it had at least a 13 tooth cog on the front of the engine!! Would give it a lot more torque!! THEY have 13.5HP engines!! I know!! I am late on getting to this subject but I seen your question about the torque on hills!! These are not bad bikes you just got to know what to do to working out the Kanks with these Chinese bikes!! For the money they are worth it!! They make a great starter bike for 12 to 13 year old teenagers!! I'm 43 years old and I would buy one for my self!! Where I live we can ride utvs and ATVs on the road!! And dirt bikes legally!! Just have to have a license or at least 21 what is ID so if you ever get pulled over they know your residence!! It's best to have it full coverage insurance on whatever you have anyways!!!👌🔔🔥🙌👍👍
Hi.i bought xpro 150 about 4 months ago.bike comes with a 9hp engine if it's the old style horizontal head.replaced carb with a nibi 26.much better torque off the line.got mine plated in lake havasu Arizona. No problem .engine should have more hp for the size that it is.hp stats came with the paper work. Big disappointment when I read the bill of laden.no top end speed.still a great light bike to ride on the desert trails at a cheap price.
Does this have any available spots for you to put a aftermarket skid plate at the bottom?
it use keys?
The dual sports have keys, the hawk 150 does not, just a kill switch.
Always try to get the handlebars and front fender and tire in the video footage bub. Otherwise all we see is the trail n that's it. Boring to watch.
Yeah i know what you mean because you can't tell what bike I'm on, but my next video I had it too far down and you can't see where I'm going haha. I'm getting it figured out. Plan on getting a china bike? I would recommend the brozz over the shark or hawk if you're looking at a 250cc.
hey i have a question i got a xpro hawk 150 and i can start it up and stuff it will ride for a good lil minute but then cut off sometimes it’s get Boggy , i changed the carburetor , i clean the oil filter and drained the gas to see if it was clogged then i’ll let it cool down again and try to turn it on again and sometimes it will turn on but it will ride for a few but stop again if anyone knows how to fix it or have idea what’s the problem help a brother out mane 😂 i got 5 dirt bikes and they never been all out at the same times it’s always one or the other fucking up lmao
Check your idle screw adjustments along with your throttle cable tension !
ignition pickup
Check compression
How tall is the dude standing next to the hawk
5' 10"
Seat height? Can someone 5-6 ride it
Not sure of hand, but would definitely be a good fit.
we need more 200x videos!
Tearing apart my motor soon, kicker is junk.
@@Trikekid84 ah that sucks will you make more videos with it?
@@emfelling8384 yes, I original started making videos when I rebuilt the engine and the performance mods I did, but now I have a chance to make a better, shorter video with better lighting so I think I'll just do that. Might be a while. Working on my old ski doo and cr125 wheels right now.
I have one the same x pro 150cc but i put the gas all the way down and it starts leaking alot what does that mean
Floats are not adjusted or the float needle is not sealing. Probably an easy fix. Clean it, make sure the needle is clean, floats should sit level with the base of the carb while holding the carb upside down. Good luck!
How can i look it up on youtube .... Iam sorry this is my firts dirtbike not trying to mess it up
@@andyarmendariz647 if you look back on my channel I have a carb rebuild video which shows everything. It's a snowmobile carb but it's all the same.
You still there did it come with the carburetor all set or did you have to mess with it and put a new one in thanks 👍
They usually need adjustments, I got lucky with the shark and never had to change anything. If you have issues just get a whole different/better carb because you can't even adjust these without drilling holes, cutting rivets just to get the bowl off, they are goofy.
Does the engine die every time you stop. Why do you have to keep starting it every time you stop?
No?
What oil do you use for it
10w40 cheap motorcycle oil from fleet farm. I ran Lucas and it was harder to find neutral but it's hard to find anyway. It's not worth running expensive synthetic when you have to change it every 300 miles.
10W-40 Valvoline wet clutch protection at Walmart $6-$8 all depends on what state you live in!! Always use wet clutch protection motorcycle ATV Oils!! Because you don't want your clutches being ruined by regular Car motor oils car oils dries up the motorcycle clutches!! Always run wet clutch ATV or motorcycle oils!! Good luck 👍👍
Top speed
52mph, all stock, down a hill.
Are these manual or automatic
Manual
Hey how much does the 150 weigh?
230lbs I believe.
The XPro vipers and Hawks XPro150 cc weight is at 203 pounds!!!
Top speed of the 150cc?
53mph if I remember correctly.
@@Trikekid84 that’s pretty good thanks for letting me know
would this be too big for my 5 foot 2 girlfriend?. and how well would it keep up with my crf250R haha
It's a good size, but won't keep up lol
@@Trikekid84 figured as much haha, but thank you for the reply!!
U think 5,6 fit on the 150
Yeah, I'm 5'10" and it's still a good size.
I'm 5'11" and it's still rather comfortable
guys i’m 5,2 would my feet touch the ground or no
@@1_A13X_1 I'm sure you can.
I have same bike. But it engine pops when I try to kick. And takes forever to starts. It pops mostly when I rev the engine and try to start bike again.
Could be running lean because of the dang china carb.
Yeah could be. This is my second carburetor pz27. It's my first and last china bike. Luckily I hardly ride
@@rochakkunwar953You need to get a PZ27 or the PZ28 carburetor that has the Air too Fuel mixture adjustment screw in the bottom of the carburetor if you have the ProX 150cc hawk or viper!! If you see a cap looking at the bottom of your PZ27 take it out of your carburetor and you'll see the air too fuel mixture adjustment screw!! It will save you money!!Good luck!!!
Where is the choke located on this bike?
It's a lever on the carb on the left side.
@@Trikekid84 Thanks a lot for your help. How is your bike running now?
@@chandrasampson3260 starts first kick, have not changed jets yet but still runs pretty well!
@@Trikekid84 That is great. What does changing the jets do?
@@chandrasampson3260 they run lean stock, if you up your jetting it runs a little better and can add power. Most people aren't happy with how they run so they will get a better air filter and exhaust and change jetting or get a better carb. These carbs are not made to be tampered with.
my main concern getting this bike is, if something were to happen to the engine where would I find the replacement parts to fix the engine or replacement the entire engine
There are a few parts websites, and a lot of your ebay china parts are actually OEM on these things, like master cylinders for example. As far as the engine, I know there are kits for the 250, I'll look into what's out there for the 150. As long as you can find pistons you can just re-bore since it's just a steel cylinder.
@@Trikekid84 oh, thank you, I'll look into that more
@@Trikekid84 if I were to buy a head for just any 150cc would it work? Same with the transmission? Like as long as everything inside matches up?
@@Trikekid84 because I noticed that the engine is vertical and not horizontal like other 150cc engines
@@123soscraftsgaming7 if it bolts up and the combustion chamber is the same size, and the timing chain or push rods work then yeah. But won't know for sure until you match them up. I'll see what I can find. But some ebay kits don't give much info at all.
can you make the xpro hawk street legal?
No, they never came with a street title unfortunately.
Would 5 2 be good for this bike
Yeah, plenty of fun for someone 5'2", or even 6'2" it can still haul it.
Need better tires so you can not drive like geriatric
Yeah these tires are great in town but slick in the woods.
Both bikes still running ok today?
Yup! Both run good. Seven years and I've never cleaned my carb. Buddy bought a hawk 250 last spring and he upgraded the carb right away because it didn't run good. So maybe it's hit and miss. Use a nibbi or OKO 26-28mm and spend time getting it set and you'll be happy with it vs the stock junk carb. I think I just got lucky.
