I bought the Hawk X 250 recently. Carburated. I'm glad I didn't get the fuel injection. Mine is counterbalanced. Runs smooth with stock carb. Very low vibration. No problems. Make sure all of your electrical connectors are tight especially for the ECM. That can cause issues.
Its normal to lose a little torque when you replace the full stock exhaust without a tune. Unfortunately, the Hawk is not known to be a fire breathing high rpm machine. Since you replaced the o2 sensor, check the fuel filter, and clean the carburetor. Better yet, upgrade to a bigger carb if thats the model you have. (or try an additive to clean the fuel injector if its fuel injected) Good luck and ride safe brother.
Good comparison between the stock and your new exhaust. I'm sure having fixed that cracked header pipe helped out some too. Ugh sorry to hear about the electrical issues. Those are hidden gremlins 😕
Like you said maybe the kill switch is bad. And I would guess maybe the o2 sensor is bad. That would keep it from running well. I had a kill switch go bad on a ride I just bypassed it. Good luck with it. 👍

I wish I could afford the dlx at the moment...I'm brand new to motor cycles wish I could see this in person
Wow! I'm surprised it had those issues.
The New Exhaust leaves a bit too much of a gap where the muffler attaches to the pipe. I am going to try to fix that this week.

This is fuel Injected.
Fuel filter was changed not too long before this. I have tried running some cleaners through it.

So many wires for such a small bike
Sounds good in the concert hall! Bummer about the electrical gremlins - those are the WORST!
I may just have to pull the tank off and open the looms up underneath if changing the switch doesn't work

I have replaced the 02, but who knows. Having no code in memory doesn't help the search.
@@CDLNEPA I know that feeling. Had that trouble with a Kia soul.
these bikes need to be dynoed to get a map then tuned acordingly
What's the red seat cover made from?
Marine grade vinyl
well.. it sounds better. I guess start at the kill switch and go from there.
I have a new headlight and front brake hose. Pretty much taking the whole front apart at this rate
🏍️😕
Indeed
that's why i avoid chinese motorcycles like the plague
