- AMAZON Hawk 250 Sprocket and Chain UPGRADE | Higher TOP SPEED! Changing the front sprocket (15 to 17), rear sprocket (50 to 45) and upgrading the chain (428). This upgrade has made this bike the ultimate commuter bike! The bike isn't screaming at 55mph anymore!
****** I have the wrong sprockets mentioned when doing the tests (It says 17 when it should say 15 for the first and it says 15 when it should say 17 for the upgrade test)

I almost bought one of these on black friday, $1800 delivered. Another caught my eye, the Templar. I watched engine swaps to the 6sp counterbalance engine, so I looked closer at the Templar. I wanted the green of the Hawk, but for a few more bucks there is the engine upgrade and a hp upgrade as well. Suspension is multi adjustable to.
After assembly, no vibration and crisp shifts. I cruised it around 100 miles and now I'm pushing it a little. 50@ 5500rpm, shot it to 70 for a second @ 8000rpm. Redline is 10,000, haven't pushed that hard, but smooth and torquey. I'm glad I went with the Templar, no upgrades needed, 249 cc, overhead cam(no pushrods), bigger carb to. Worth looking into!
Thanks for the info! I'll look into it.
Damn. What's the seat height? Still liking it?
Not sure, I have a 32" inseam, and I climb on with the kickstand down. I softened the suspension so I can reach the ground sitting on the seat.
Got the carb tuned and the rapid backfire is gone. Works great for me.
The templar x us rhe way to go.
I have the same set up and love it. The front sprocket guard is able to go on if you man handle it and or move the chain back and forth. I wasn't gonna cut that thing up, it went right in with a wack of my palm.
I was cussing up a storm saying how the f... until I smacked it.
I appreciate the heat gun info but I have a custom 6' breaker bar. Yes. 6'. If I can't break a bolt loose or break it with that I will respect it and leave it
Good info, I appreciate you taking the time to share this. This will likely be my first mod when I get a Hawk. 💯💯🏍🏍🤙🤟✌
Awesome, thanks for watching!
i got the 2023 hawk dlx EFI and got 75 mph out of it stock i weigh 180 so really impressed me and came with 17 and 45 sprockets
That motor will really open up after 1000 miles and you’ll be able to get even better top speeds with that gearing.
That's what I hear! I'm also planning on doing the airbox mod soon.
@@TyposGarage how’s it running now
I have a dlx and I am thinking about this sprocket set up, it seems really nice. good video
Thanks man! Yeah it made a noticeable difference. It's much more pleasant to ride.
Great Video!👍
Thanks man!
I have done this on my 125 cc Not same bike but its similar .This is a good change to get a smoother revs on the road. as long as you don't go into verry steep hills with 2 persons or carrying heavy loads the bike will not run out of gears all the time :P
I went to a 35 on the back and it’s golden
Great video. Good job
Thanks man!
I thought for more top end you go bigger front smaller rear. Sounds good thou. 17t 19t front for me. No need to switch rear. Tip for the bolts on rear sprocket, brake them while the tire and chain is still on the bike. Good vid bro 💪🏽
I also got a 19t up front on my Vader 150. Went from OEM 34t to a 30t on the rear, but I should have gone with a 32.
I went with the bsr raven. 65mph on gps speedometer stock 😁 gonna drop the rear sprocket from 46 down to 42, and get some good 80/20 tires for a less buzzy ride at above 45mph. Other than that, shes a champ out of the box 💪
Looks a lot like the roads in Wisconsin
Looks the same as my bike. You can fit a 19T up front if you want to grind down some sprocket cover,
But considering you can still drop 10Tooth on the rear , it's better to just do 17T front and like 40 to 35T rear.
great video.
I run 17/45 sprockets and have a recorded 69 on gps and it said 73 on the speedo. Thinking of running 17/40s to reach around 72, and itll drop my rpm hopefully while in 5th and 4th.
If You want overdrive for 5 th gear use a 39 or 40 t rear. I use a 17 - 34. First gear is like second or higher but I find it perfect for Me at 120 lbs. Street rider.
W CAR!🔥
Sick 65 downhill succa. Ya boooy. Sweeet cheap transport.
So you prefer the 15 front and 45 rear???
Great videos 👍about to order me one!
1:14 I spotted the north country sign in your garage and it kind of freaked me out as a local 😂
Yeah man! I love that place. I just moved to AZ, so I'm going to miss it.
@@TyposGarage such a good spot, can't wait until I'm 21 in 8 months so I can actually enjoy their beers haha. Take care dude, I don't blame you one bit for moving. Not much you're missing out on 😂
Hey typo, I saw your mention of an air box mod. What do you intend on doing to it, and how? My bike is coming in soon and I’d like to do an air box mod but idk how
Basically, you remove the slanted portion of the box and it let's more direct airflow. I'm kicking around the idea of getting an exhaust. So, I'll probably do it then.
Try installing a racing cdi.
i did the same thing to my hawk dlx and im not shure if i like it it has no power in the top end now or it feels that waythe engine definitely likes it i will say
I think you definitely lose some low end power, but the engine is much happier at higher speeds. I always felt like the motor was screaming. I also didn't like shifting in intersections from 1st to 2nd
i might be first love to support small channels nice vid
I used a 17 in front and a 45 in back and it rides better you just have to modify the over to get it over the chain
How many chain links did you need?
@@aksledking I'm sure you've found this info already, but maybe for the next person. The stock chain is 130 links, if you go with a 17 front, 45 back, 128 links fits better, though I still run the stock chain on mine with this set up and it's fine. When I do replace the chain, I will get the 128 link chain
Hey typo, I’m local to you and am considering buying a hawk!! How does it fare on the highway
Nice! It is not a great highway bike with the stock sprocket setup. But, 65-70mph is definitely achievable after the change. What highway will you be riding on?
after seeimnh another gear test i am gonna do a 17-18t frt and 37t rear and i expect to see 70 plus out of it
Did you ever get that 70?
Was wondering how you managed to put the bike on the jack stands?,...like shifting from the right to the left and putting a notch up everytime?
I just leaned it far over on the kickstand and leveraged it up on the jack stands.
Did you have to remove the pice you said was it the way are did the cover go on fine
I was able to get the cover on with a rubber mallet. No rubbing, so it's all good.
Hi I just ordered the same bike with the same sprockets, what length chain did u order? (#of links) the link u gave has different lengths
Should be a 428 chain. That's the stock size and it fit just fine. I do recommend getting the upgraded chain, though. Don't keep the stock one.
Stock chain comes with 130 links, if you go with a 45 tooth sprocket in the rear, a 128 link chain is a better fit, but a 130 will still work.
Has the ring that goes around the sprocket to hold it has it came off cus I recently installed mine but my sprocket came off cus i guess the ring wasn’t in right
I haven't had any issues with mine. I do check it every time I lube the chain, though.
Probably my next and first upgrade me my hawk 250. Cant use 4th or 5th gear without the engine screaming
That was the same problem I was having. Definitely worth the investment.
@@TyposGarage damn yo im selling it now the engines done. Mechanic said it sounds like a broken piston rod when i try starting it. Looking at a df250rts or vitacci falcon
@@BIasterXD yea he went off sound. I checked the valves and theyre were a little off but when i try to kickstart it it sounds like a brick knocking around in the engine so i dont think its the vavlves
Wa did you get changed ? I’m looking to upgrade my stuff to get faster ? What should I upgrade?
I changed the front sprocket to a 17 tooth, the rear sprocket to a 45 tooth and installed a new chain. Got me a higher top speed. An exhaust, different air filter or pod filter and some carb tuning would get you a few more mph.
The very first change I would make would be a carb and re-jetting. Bike just runs too lean and it can be done for 40 bucks or less (carb and jet kit), after that, I change the sprockets just like Typo. 17 front, 45 rear. The sprockets will give you the best speed increase of the mods.
Bro has been so busy he hasn't shaved his neck 😂 jk buddy
It's a great video. I like the editing. Happy trails
😂😂
what kind of mpgs are you getting?
Before the sprocket change, I'm guessing somewhere around 60 to 80 MPG. I also need to dial in the fueling and test it after the upgrade. It does really good for a commuter bike.
i like the 250 but i would have to go with the fuel injected model
I would have to agree! It would be alot easier to maintain.
I have the fuel injected model and I love it. but I also have a tbr7 and a magician and I really love how easy it is to give them a performance boost just by changing the jetting in the carbs. and any modifications you do to the type you can easily re-jet the carb to accommodate that change, without having to get an ECU flash. Honestly, cases could be made for both sides of that, so it's whichever spectrum you fall on ya know. That being said, the only mod I did the on the fuel injected Hawk, was the sprocket change, and left everything else alone, and it's wonderful, just like that. But the tbr7, I've done all kinds of things to.
How do I get to the description box I can’t see where you ordered the parts the sprockets and chain
Should be a "Show More" link right below the description that you can read
@@Ryan-pd6uw Thank you so much for the information
I just got the same bike everything is going good but I have one problem the front signal is off I turn left signal on the back signal is on but not the front the right front signal is blinking on the left I matched the colored wires as well I need your help everything else is fine just those front turn signals
Hmm. If it were me, the first thing I would try is touching the wires to the battery to see if the light is faulty. If you touch the wires to the battery, black to negative and red to positive, it should light up. If not, the signal is bad. If it does, I would follow your wiring back to the plug where it connects to the harness. You might have a short in the wiring somewhere
Thanks I will try it out and see I got my bike from pioneer power sports and he to cross the colors for the wires doesn't sound safe
@@poeenglish5958 so, if you turn the left signal on, your right front blinker is lighting up? what happens when you turn the right blinker on? does the front left blinker light up?
I had them on the wrong side I switch them but turns out the bulb in the left blinker is no good gotta replace the bulb and I'm all set
I have 17/34=2.0 FDR,,,,,Don't be afraid these bikes have plenty of torque, the original final drive ratio when I bought the bike new model 2022 was 2.7.
What’s your top speed with that ratio?
Im curious as well. Just got one LoL
For some reason youtube and Amazon doesn't like my explination and they delete it, the final drive ratio depends on your weight, if you are heavy a 2.0 final drive ratio isn't for you because you will put too much stress on your bearings, your crank shaft will damage fast, with a 2.0 FDR you can get up to 80mph but only if you are light weight under 140lbs and you must be an experienced rider because this bike is rated for 80KM/H wich means that at 80MPH the bike will be unstable because its too light and the wind will toss you away on the highway, so if you weigh more then 140lbs leave it at 17t front and 46t rear and dont ride it for more then 40min or your oil will exceed 265°F because the rpms are too high for a push rod motor, a push rod motor is good for high torque low speed, mine has a fan asisted oil cooler and with a 2.0FDR my oil stays at 190°F all day riding in hot south heat. 65ml oil cooler 4" manuel operated fan.
@@natvega1 thank you for that. I’m around 200lbs and want to use it for commuting on a road that has a high speed of 55.
I been waching u
creepy... 😛
the amazon link for the chain has 100 to 134 links what do i get?
stock chain is 130 links, if you go with a smaller rear sprocket, like in this setup, 128 links works better.
EDIT: I clicked the link, and it auto selects the 128 link, so I'm thinking that's the one he purchased too.
You are correct. It is a 128 link chain
Which chain link do I get ?
I was able to use the stock chain, which is a 428.
Is this with the stock carb?
It's the mikuni clone of the same MM
Was you able to put the chain cover back on?
Yep! I gave it a little tap with a rubber mallet and it went on pretty easily. No rubbing by the chain
@@TyposGarage thanks for Sharing your experience 🤓
I would suggest buying the hawk DLX with fuel injection, I think it goes faster than the carburâtes version. I am able to cruise at 65 MPH without changing the sprockets even though it is screaming a little. I reached 71 MPH in a down hill. I am going to change the sprockets soon. Hopefully I will see some improvement.
17/45 made a HUGE difference for me. The stock gearing is just way too short for the street. Good luck!
Fuel injected one is harder to work on if shit goes wrong
@@Smoshylife I mean you're probably right, but I feel like FI is worth it for 90% of people for the easy cold starts and not having to clean the carbs after letting it sit over time. Besides, there's plenty of other things that'll go wrong with it before the fuel injection. I doubt most people want to add carb cleans to their maintenance routines. Just my thoughts though! :)
I have a DLX, the idea of a carb terrified ( new rider )!
It's a dirt bike dude you should have got a street bike ! 250 cc to small 650 cc is great commuter both city and highway !
At the time of this video, I had an Sv650, too. Just exploring cheaper options and how they can be improved.
Try 17/42 or 41 thats what I use my top speed is 80mph and up
how you pay total for this bike ?
Around $1650. I think I give a cost breakdown in my title/registration video.
Hey you clone weirdo, you have the same obscure weird bikes as me AMD THE SAME CAR, same color!?! Are you actually ME? This is insane! I’ve had my WRX FOR 4yrs technically so not identical
Hahaha
That's crazy! I guess we have the same interests. lol I also enjoy long walks on the beach, etc...
Have you done any other mods now? Just a nibbi carb, nibbi air filter and a 100$ exhaust off amazon and my hawk hits 65 on a flat road. Can't wait to throw in these sprockets and see what she can hit.
I haven't done anything else to the bike other than the airbox mod, which just opens the flow of air a bit. I just moved to the west coast and I'm living at 7000ft now. So, I am getting ready to start tuning for the elevation.
The speedos on these things are massively off
Yeah, i agree. I tested it with GPS on my phone and it's accurate up to about 63 or so.
A few extra mph is great and all, just remember that the rest of the chassis wasn't really designed for high speed. If i had one of these and modded it like this Id maybe beef up that frame somehow
Yeah I'm not looking to go much faster than I was. I just wanted it to be smoother around 50-55mph. I agree, these bikes are not meant to go very fast on.
How would you beef the frame up ?
A few mph on pavement isnt gonna hurt anything at all...its a dual sport. Its off road capable. Which is much harder on everything than the pavement lol
@@user-km5kj8xh1xadd some steak stickers!🤣🤣
Yeah them dirt bike frames can't handle smooth flat roads, only jumps, whoopty doos and falls wait? What?
Whats the mpg
I haven't tested that yet. I need to get it dialed in before I do that. If I had to guess with the new setup, probably 60 to 80mpg. Maybe better.
@@TyposGarage i ended up getting a hawk things nice asf for the price prolly the best for its price
my mirrors vibrate way worse than yours do :(
All you have to do is put different jets in the carb im still on the stock sprockets and mine will run 75 80
These gauge clusters are known to be pretty off speed wise. I really don't think 80 is possible based on the stock gearing and sprocket.
There not 1500 anymore
Nope. Unfortunately, they became pretty popular and the companies raised the prices. There's a chance it will drop in price again, but i'm not certain.
Guy I work with just bought one brand new and total after everything was $1650. So around $1300 sticker price.
That's not bad! Definitely better than $2k lol
I ordered mine on Amazon for 1789$ free shipping itll be here in a few weeks
if u go back to 17 front your rpm will drop again...
That's what I have installed in this video.
@@TyposGarage 😯
@@trucker2b Yea, I think he had a typo in the video :-p Cause I thought the same thing at one point, but then just figured it was a typo (and I figured that because... well it's his name... :D)
IF YOU GEAR IT TALLER IT WILL RUN 75 TO 85 YOUR CHOICE
What gears did you use
Not sure I would want to be going 85 mph on this bike. Lol
@@TyposGarage NO NOT REALLY ME EITHER , HE WILL LEARN ABOUT GEARING
What gears id like that lol
@@SMMBHQ-cg2zy WHY ARE WE YELLING?
Ride on the road a lot dont you?
I do. Around here, you have to know someone to ride on their land.
Bigg grom clone
65? Could get it to 66 with a tuck... smh
Lol maybe it's the rider weight difference.
