hey bro at 4:40 i think you accidentally said the sprockets backwards. Its supposed to be 17 on the front and 45 on the back. Thats what mine has and most others run the same. Not trying to be a jerk just dont want people accidentally buying the wrong thing.
Oh damn my bad!! I'll pin this comment so hopefully people this see, I eventually said it correctly like 30 seconds later but that can be pretty confusing lol thank you
@@BodieMoto I kept watching and saw you said it right like 15 seconds later. Thanks for the awesome video man. I have a hawk myself with the same gear combo. Feels much better.
Good luck switching those sprockets front to rear lol
It's 4:17am finally in bed after work, can't wait to wake up and ride my hawk 250, to all the hawk owners I respect yall, livin life good smart on a budget but on quality budget items
God bless you. I work 9pm-6am. I do alright but I'm not about wasting money. I've been riding for 20 years and my current bike is a 2022 KTM RC390. I got it for $4k cash with 300 miles on it. I ride almost as much as I drive. A litre bike for me is a waste. Also I like my skin and my life so I really feel no need to do triple digits and or weave in and out dangerously on public roads. I just recently found out about these and I definitely think I'm gonna grab one and commute on it. Ride safe. 🤘🏽
@@RoughRaiders13 did you get one? I got one around the same time you commented! I love it
"I've never been this way, lets try it" and "I know where I am now" were good descriptive phrases of why bikes are therapeutic. Your words were more profound than you realized.
For me, this is why any vehicle is cathartic when you've got spare time. My little 1.8 Honda gets over 30mpg and sometimes I go uncharted for the same reason. Thinking in cardinal directions and shit. Connected with the machine and the Earth all at once.
Agreed. Perfect list of "must do" mods for their Hawk 250 for street riding.
What about off road riding as well?
@multicyclist for real though I want mostly off road and just need it to be able to drive to trails and what not?? Any ideas would be incredibly appreciated brother brand new to it really :/
Great videos man! Keep it up. I have an xpro titan 250 on the way and will be making videos about it. Lookin forward to seeing more from you 👍🏼
Great to see another hawk rider around Swansea
Hey bro you should look into the 300cc big bore kit for the hawk there is only one other video on the web and it dont show any test rides. Happy riding im not a rider yet but come spring im getting a hawk and would like to do some stuff to at after i get my license.
Helpful video. Thanks.
Thank you!
Good stuff my dude you have a new subscriber would like to see some cruising with other bike great content
ayy I appreciate that a ton bro! I only have 1 friend who ride but maybe I'll join some group rides, they get super rowdy around here though haha. thank you again!!!
On the TBR7, neutral was always elusive at best. I swapped the clutch cable and i couldnt get the adjustment back to original; for whatever reason my neutral is easier than ever to shift into.
I got a hawk 250 thanks I’m Finn’s do mines like this
Same 17 front 45 rear
Nibbi carb and modified stock exhaust. I'm 225 bike goes 68 mph
GPS confirmed or stock speedo?
We’re do you get your parts for it I need a back rim
Ive been thinking about putting the 705s on my klx250 . Youve convinced me to do it. By the way i agree with the comment about negative people. F----- em!
What size gas tank. Thanks
Can i put in a cold air intake and remove the air box?
What new bike did you get Bodie?
Bought my dlx 2021 , put the 17 on , still need to do the 45 tho (this winters project) . Got 5k miles on it and the crappy chinese knobbies now ... new tires coming , sprocket , chain too . Will look into exhaust and air box . Bike does 62 (phone gps) now and I'm about 210-220 lbs. Put in iridium plug 1st thing and have done 5 oul changes and 2 valve lash adjustments so far ..... She runs a bit rich it seems , even with the fuel injection ... I know there's more power to be had . Fun bike to tinker on , just dont expect miracles .... Btw , mine was 1,899,,,delivered , back then ... Quite a bit more now .... I'm up in NH ...... Loves the back roads ; )
I just got my hawk 250 229cc 2022. Will these parts work ?
I love the moto vlogs too they are great
thank you!!
11:48 at least 2-3 times a day minimum 😂
+1 for Shinko 705s, they really transform the bike. I love to be the goofy sport bike rider on a dual sport and scooch a buttcheek off the seat in the twisties haha. Lovely roads btw, looks similar to what we have in Western Pennsylvania. Looks perfect for the hawk 😉 I'm liking what your doing with this channel, I wanted to start a small moto vlog channel just to remember my experiences as a newer rider and see how I grow.
thanks for all the kind words bro!! I'm a little nervous about hanging my body off this bike right now, I've done it a few time and I'm always shocked how much grip I have with good form like that... but man is it scary to basically lean down towards the road when I'm used to a more neutral position. You should start a channel, once you get your work flow down its really easy to do compared to alot of other content (as long as you're comfortable with filming and it doesn't distract you from the road )
@@BodieMoto yeah, give it a try sometime. As long as your tires are in good shape, you can get down more than you think you can. Anyways, off to take my MSF class in 40°F weather 😂
@@ChristopherT_ good luck you got it, I did mine in the rain!
@@BodieMoto day 1 of 2 done, it's actually really good to get an instructor to point out my mistakes. I can't lean to the right lol. Best part about the Pennsylvania MSF program is that it's free!
@@ChristopherT_ niceeee that's awesome, I had to pay like 200 bucks I think lol
I have a 22 Raven but same basically. Running 17-43 with a nibbi 28fl as well and I’m lucky to get 63 out of it wide open granted I’m 250lbs but your bike seems much more responsive and quicker! I have yet to do the exhaust so maybe that’s my limiting factor, it won’t redline to save its life after 3rd like yours does🤦🏼♂️
Yeah the exhaust really opens these bikes up, some people even hollow out the stock exhaust to allow more air flow
How much does the changing of the sprockets affect the speedometer?
Seems like a decent bike. I gotta couple questions for you. What site did you order the bike from? Was it a pain in the ass to title it and register it? I live in New Jersey, so I dont know if they’re tougher here or what.
Will it wheelie using that gearin?
I'm about to completely mod my hawk 250 EFI so I don't have a carb and I'm not sure what it would take to or if I should switch it from EFI to carb but I was looking for some of the mods my biggest interest are putting the 80% Street 20% off-road tires on it and I didn't catch the name and I didn't see the link either in the comments? But I got the sprocket changes I actually added a quick throttle to so it's like a 3/4 turn as opposed to the full turn and I'm definitely going to change out the exhaust from the stock but my biggest interest are the tires
Did you end up changing the chain? If so what chain did you get?
Love your videos and you have helped me out a lot on my decisions on upgrades. Curious, would you pick your bike over the the one with the EFI and no carb? I was thinking about that bike but then I found your video. That bike cost more and you have to pay $350 for shipping. So I’m thinking just go with the bike you have and make the same mods. Suggestions? Thank you again.
Personally I went for the car version because it's cheaper like you said and I wanted to use this bike to learn how to work on bikes, The EFI version you can't really do too much to it but you don't really need to at the end of the day because it is good to go right out the box basically. The carb version takes a lot more tinkering, you probably want to buy an aftermarket carb and then aftermarket exhaust and bunch of other little mods. It all depends if you value learning how to do that kind of stuff because it is work and more money at the end of the day. Seems like people who buy the EFI version just set it up change the oil and are pretty much good to go. So if you just want to ride right away the EFI version is probably the best but if you want to get a good motorcycle platform to learn how to work on bikes and do a bunch of cheap mods then the carb version is the way to go. Im happy I did what I did! But if I had to do it again I would probably just boy the EFI version and swap the tires. I learned all the stuff I needed to on the carb version.
Thats confusing and probably doesn't make your decision much easier but hey, it's how I feel lol
@@BodieMoto ty. I appreciate all the info. Now I’m thinking about the Templar xpro 250 x 😂. I really like that 6 speed option. Decisions decisions 😂. Thanks again. You get another bike yet?
If you're not using the bike off road then i would dump the knobblies. I had them on my DRZ which was fine for off road but i use the bike far more ON road so i put on some road biased tyres that i can still go off road with. The bike moves around a lot more off road but i'm enjoying this. On road i have superb grip and a lot less road noise and probably more speed. Feels like it anyway.
Yeah that was one of the first things I did
Moto Cheeze reviewed a hawk SM for about 1800 dollars. It looks good
I'd love to buy a set of super moto wheels for my hawk and keep some knobbies on the stock wheel set, best (or average) of both worlds! lol
Hey, i got the new exhaust you have, but my performance is worse it feels like.
I bought the Xpro Titan 250 dlx. I did the sprocket mod and found a 19” rim on amazon that bolted right on. Then threw the Shinko 705s on it. Super smooth and flickable now.
Hell yeah!! That sounds awesome, the 21 inch front rim is overkill for this thing lol
Can you link to the wheel you picked up on Amazon?
What do you feel is a comfortable top speed for it? Was thinking about maybe commuting with it one day, but would have to take the alternative route vs getting on the interstate.
I was thinking about getting a hawk 250 and I was wondering how your experience is with your bike.
Thanks.
I loved it, its a perfect bike to commute around town and learn how to work on your own bike at home
Any time you dramatically improve the airflow, you’ll need to rejet - mentioned in #2…
Hey man, what jets would you use for the nibbi pe28FL carb main jet and pilot jets with the upgraded JFG RACING Full Slip On Exhaust and with the 17/45 tooth sprocket installed on the bike?
i just would like to know how i can tune the carb properly with all the mods ive done to it.
I left the stock jets in! They seemed to work fine but it came with a few extra, it's all specific to your elevation too!
@@BodieMoto thanks bro, I really appreciate it.
Did you have to hammer the two small exhaust parts together to get it to bolt on. Or did you just slip it on by hand?
It just slipped on by hand, was a little tight but I didn't have to put too hard. You gotta use the seat bolt to mount it
@@BodieMoto thanks. It’s a lot louder in real life for sure. Are you still driving yours around?
How much do you pay for insurance? I’m looking into getting one of these
75 per year with progressive insurance
I'm 20 and for under/uninsured coverage on the DLX model it's about $15 per month. It's real cheap.
Edit: i.e. Good coverage on a 2020 MT-07 would be around $250 a month for me lol. Sportbikes are expensive for youngsters 😂
8:53 Lenny Dee & Darrien Kelly !
Hey bud, is there any required break in period for my Hawk before I can swap out the carb?
No you can do that on day 1!
@Bodie Moto Perfect, thanks bro! Great channel.
@@ryanbaker4346 ayy thank you I appreciate that
What is the top speed with all the mods you have in this video?
65 on flat 72 with a slight downhill, that was when I was 235lbs before gear as well lol I've lost tons of weight since then I should do another test
Did you ever change the Chinese battery it comes with? Or just the spark plug?
Yeah a new battery was one of the first things I did
@@BodieMoto appreciate it. Also did you install a new jet into the Nibbi you got? Or did you just use the jet it comes with?
@@jeremycastillo8468 left the jets that came with it in the nibbi carb since it fired up right away, could probably get a little better cold starts if I jetted it properly though
@@BodieMoto where you get battery from buddy
Do u kno Why the prices went up on the regular hawk and dlx the dlx is like 2500 shipped
the hawk I bought only went up 29 bucks
Ikr, it's like ALMOST not really worth that price tbh. I bought mine right before the increase. I'm guessing it's probably just adjusting for diesel prices, etc, but with that hefty shipping price 😕 (at least on Amazon)
2k shipped right now for the dlx
Are these the same mods for the DLX version of the Hawk? Thanks.
yeah besides the carb, exhaust, and digital dash, you really don't need to upgrade much with the efi version and its a bit tricky to reprogram the efi if you do but it can be done! look into it
Awsome, thanks!@@BodieMoto
How does the xpro hawk 250 compare to the regular hawk 250
It's the same bike, mine came with xpro stickers on it lol
@@BodieMoto ooohh ok because your link takes me to the xpro which is $50 more than the regular hawk 250 that I already have in my cart. Just making sure all the mods would work. The exhaust is sold out. :/
@@BodieMoto also would you recommend doing these mods day 1 or drive it stock for a while to get used to it and then mod it?
Do most mods work for 250 DLX
Some of them do but Im not sure which ones I'm sorry, check out the hawk 250 fb pages of you can they are loaded with information
Where did you get your battery?
Walmart
@@BodieMoto unless they changed the batteries on them as the years went on. Mines a 2015. Any local store I go to may have 1 that look like it but pos and neg might be on opposite sides or battery connectors too thick on the ends. My connectors thin on my battery
Why do anything g to airbox if your going to put a new carb on it ? lol
@@kilocharlie317 because I'm using the air box with the carb lol
Is this a Xhawk 250 enduro 2022 ?
are you running stock chain ? And thanks for the vid bro really helped me out
It is a x pro hawk 250 not sure about the year though
Should I get a new spark plug too?
I would yea, it's cheap enough and you can keep the stock on as back up
@@BodieMoto good idea. Let me change mines.. I had mines since 2015. Imma upgrade everything on mines. Watching this makes me wanna ride mines again.. need a new battery first.
Man. nice now you need earplugs !
100th like
What the exhaust you got?
link the the description! its just an amazon exhaust
@@BodieMotoI got a blue hawk 250. I want this exhaust but wish I can find it blue. If not I’ll still get this one
Thanks video. I'm in Philippines and here same bike is motorstar, but only 150cc. 🛵
