- This video is for all Hawk 250 owners and future owners. I'm not recommending that you get a Hawk but if you do please strongly consider most of the mods and upgrades highlighted here. This is not a performance upgrade video its for problems and quality control issues. I strongly feel many of these mods are for safety and certainly for reliability. I have yet to see anywhere that a full compilation of all or at least most of the needed mods has been done in video form. A huge nod to Megadan, Jack of All, Motocheeze, GoodolBoys and others for your videos that are insightful and way better than this one. For all the other get a GoPro and go for a ride posters golf clap to you all!
Please post your links for you videos if I haven't already and maybe we can come up with at least a starting point to getting Hawk 250 owners off to a safe start. Hope to have a part 2 coming or a remake. Ride safe!

Ending notes:
It is worth the money don’t give up, the engine is very good, if you set it up and break the bike in properly it will run you 10s of thousands of miles.
Weakness it’s about a 200 cc bike not a record breaking bike but just be safe!
Thanks for this Dawson. To lazy to do it myself
Great advice on this, I’m considering picking up a DLX soon
For those researching this bike or it’s cheaper brother the magician; just buy the Hawk.
I have a magician and I’m on my 3rd gas tank replacement. No idea why either…I did just find out Yamaha does use the same parts on some newer 2023 bikes available here in the US so hopefully that fixes it.
That being said after I get these issues fixed I will be trading the bike for a Honda grom
UPDATE: I recently had a break down involving a blown fuse causing zero power to anything. Turns out the wiring pod that runs front to back had three wires frayed and pinched where it runs under the gas tank and presses against the engine mount. I would highly recommend addressing this as you assemble the bike and even current owners. I'm certain due to the poor quality wires and shielding that the vibration and heat in this area will cause chaffing eventually. Add some thick wire loom or whatever to wherever it makes contact with metal etc.
Great video. Never thought about the splash guard. What about the chain though? Heard it's a good idea to change it out. Just one of those critical items for me on my bikes.
It’s a cheap chain but I have 4000 miles on my stock one. Tires, grips, pegs, etc etc you can swap out all you want and should. I tried to boil it down to what was essential. Thanks!
Wonderful video describing some of the problems you need to fix... But I do have one question how much oil do you put in this thing. I bought one for street riding but cant find an oil measurement anywhere.. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
TY
1.3 qts is the official amount. You can’t get it all to drain easily so add about 1 qt or maybe 1.1 qts
I have a '22 DLX and I set the valves to .004 on the intake, and .005 on Exhaust, it starts right away and idles as smooth as probably possible. I switched the plug with a "NGK Iridium IX Plug Number DR8EIX Spark Plug" from o'reilly auto. Rotella T4 15w40 oil for now at least. 17/45 gears and DID x-ring chain. that's it so far, all the plastic is kind of warped so nothing is straight, that bugs me. also the entire front headlight section doesn't mount right. I'm having fun with it so far though.
I second the valve lash values you're using and I also did the same plug, oil, and gears. Agreed on the plastic. My rear tail light plate area is about and inch off/warped from the center of the bike tire. Hey we paid 2k its time to swallow some pride.
I'd add a few things that either didn't make my video or I glossed over it:
Tighten spokes correctly
Tighten the steering stem
Replace lowest oil change bolt with magnetic
Replace front shock fluid
Plan to replace the Horn. My stock one died
Address the voltage regulator ground and others. My Hawk ran weird occasionally, others have a no start. That solved that issue.
Loctite everything esp the rear tail light area
@@DufussMan I want to replace my shock fluid still, also dielectric greased all the wire connectors on mine, forgot about that. I don't plan on cruising max speed as often as casually cruising around the neighborhood so I lowered my front shocks a little over 1/8 inch just so I can see gold on the tops because they're all the way up. slightly lowered for tighter turn response.
@@BIasterXD Awesome! I gotta do my front shocks too but am a little reluctant as its a bit of a process on the DLX. Will post a link to the other awesome youtubers that did some great videos on it. Did you notice much difference in ride quality and how it takes bumps after that mod Blaster?
Are those decals stickers?
Yes there isn’t any paint it’s all adhesives and they will peel over time.
@@DufussMan sweet. Thanks
