- $1500 Amazon motorcycle, 2020 Hawk 250 Enduro! I had a few issues getting it to run and I explain what was happening in this video. I ordered a new petcock to hopefully fix the problem. On the other hand, I really love this bike so far. It has manageable power, it's light weight, and it's smooth! Upgrades and title coming soon.

Great vid the only problems was I didn’t expect the brake caliper to be loose so I forgot about it when tightening everything up and I almost got in a accident because of it
Thanks! Oh man, im glad nothing bad happened to you! That must be a common problem from the factory. I think I'll pin your comment because it's important. Thanks again.
It’s probably a scam
Definitely. I deleted the comments lol
Good tip I think I’m grabbing this bad boy
I have had mine for 5 years and love it! things I've done to it. 1) bought a cheapo Mikuni knockoff carb and jets 2) set valve lash 3) ride the crap out of it. I also upgraded the cluster to a tach and digital. And yes tighten everything and locktite what you don't want to fall off and change the shipping oil!
Nice. Pennsylvania rider here as well, considering getting one this week. Still on the fence but if I do, I'm going to mod it out immediately. Cool thing is the upgrades don't cost too much. I'm thinking $3-500 in upgrades should make it really nice. Safe riding.
The little bowl on the petcock is a sediment bowl to catch dirt. You check it every so many miles and clean it if there's dirt in it. Old school fuel filter.
Petcock reserve position draws from the bottom of the tank. On position has a short tube that draws from a little higher level in the tank.
Yeah I figured that out and explained it in my next video. The stem for the "on" position it really tall. Taller than most bikes I've had in the past.
My cousin recommended this too me for a starter bike since I'm planning on getting my endorsement and after watching this video I think I'll definitely have to get this now. Thank you my good sir
Awesome man! Be careful and have fun 👍
Great first ride man! I’d be curious of a long term review as well. Nothing like riding on reserve to make the running out of gas demons come get ya.
Haha! Thanks man! Hopefully the new petcock will work and I'll be rippin around soon. I definitely plan on doing many reviews on the longevity.
@@TyposGarage hey im thinking of getting this bike but i might be too small im like 110 pounds and 5'4 yes still in high school but will i be able to ride it?
ChopperFett Ive had mine for 2 years just rolled over 7400 miles. About 60% on road 40% off road. Pros the 229cc honda cg clone is reliable. If you have the time it will get you where you need to go. I ride mine a little over 70 miles round trip 6 days a week to work.
Cons: Vibes alot of vibration (thumper life)
Stock cluster is junk
Out of the box it is to lean to run right down here in Texas
Plastic is brittle
Bolts rattle loose see vibes above.
Fasteners are sub par replace with quality ones.
Stock tubes won't take much abuse.
All and all I am very happy with my chonda. She runs good. She does what I need her to do and if I take my time she will take just about anywhere I have had the guts to put her. Best $600 I've ever spent on a mode of transportation. Got mine used. Gonna hit the trails in the morning in 35° weather and she will be ready to go.
@@ceoofmilk7079 have you looked into the magician. Same motor as the hawk lower seat height. My wife has one. She can reach at only 5'2"
@chopperfett I've had mine for about 5 years and love it. I would not hesitate to ride this thing anywhere. Very reliable. It is 3rd world technology. My wife and kid have Brand new Honda's (CRF 125 & CRF 50) and by no means is the Hawk comparable to those. Think of it as a really cool/capable scooter. It is not a whoops and triples basher, get a KTM if you are at that level. But it will eat up logging roads and light offroadin' like a champ. LMK if you have any questions.
Im buying a hawk with the stimulus check. Hope its all everyone says it is.
hahahha me too!
Me too
@@youngzoomer2636 I'm tired of this crazy prices on gas now
I’m thinking about it.
Same!!!
I have a 2016 model and 4k miles i still love it. I have a 17t_43t sprockets, #7.5 jet,air box mod, catalytic delete. I get 65mph max at 2500 feet altitude
Nice man! I can already tell that I'm going to love it. I think I'm going to do the sprocket mod after I get it road legal.
Vapor lock. Try testing it with the plastic tube with the gas cap off of the tank sometimes pressure builds up and it doesn't release.
I've had myn for about 5 months now I haven't had any problems
Awesome! Now that mine is running, I think it is a pretty good bike.
I plan on getting one of these soon man I just really wanna do my research before i get one
Where u got it from
Mine has been fine. The original speedo cable broke and I replaced it. I didn't really need to but I put the larger main jet in and it does run and start better. It's cheap and I will do pretty much anything to not put money into it. Replace battery with literally anything else...
I got mine about a month ago. I didn't get any major issues with it. The fuel gauge isn't that accurate for me but everything else on it works fine. A lot of people have rejetted the carburetor on theirs but I haven't had to do that. I can get it up to 60 MPH but not without some struggle. I did change the front sprocket to a 17t instead of the 15t. I rode it heavy up a mountain nearby going over large rocks because I really wanted to push it. Some people have more issues with theirs and I'm not sure why. Its not a bad bike for the price but it's not gonna take you on a highway for more than a few miles.
Nice man! My fuel gauge isn't working either. I head you have to take it out and make sure it moves freely. That's good to hear that you havent had many issues. They seem to be a good bike for some trail riding and around town commuting!
Got a new hawk last week, same exact issue with the petcock. I messed with my valves and settled on 002 and 003. Seems to work for mine. Keep us posted on how you fix the petcock. I would greatly appreciate it.
So, I haven't confirmed it yet, but I'm pretty sure that the main fuel stem (on position) is really tall. Therefore, it takes over a gallon of fuel to measure over the main fuel stem. So, that means the reserve fuel will last something like 70+ miles? If that is the case, it is way too much for the reserve in my opinion. I will let you know.
I agree, I came to the same conclusion after making my comment. I had
My fuel gauge has 2 settings full and empty lol, also I kept the stock carb and put a 105 n it got double the power, put a 17 tooth front which will last longer than the 15 and allows u to go faster
Lol I've been hearing that the fuel gauge is garbage. My bike seems to run good with the 105 too. I'm looking into the 17 tooth for my next mod. Thanks for the comment!
@@TyposGarage update: today I gutted the catalytic converter and switched to a 115 to compensate, squeezed out even more performance, sounds better, powers up hills better, wheelies bettter, but the best change is the throttle response has absolutely no lag!
Spent that stimmy on one and dont regret it 😁
😂😂🤘
@dxrcr the bike will fit you well at at 6'2 and you're not heavy for it at all, I say go for it, just make sure to change the sprockets and carb asap, good luck
The bike still kicking?
@@marxus2829 running like a champ, saving for an RC 390 or z400 now
thinking about picking up a hawk 250, just subbed keep it up man!
Thanks man! I think the bike is worth it for the money.
@@TyposGarage ok good to know now im excited lol
So when I ordered mine I didn’t have any bolts vibrate loose I got lucky on that part but the exhaust bottom bowl vibrated off into the street now I have a really bad exhaust leak and I cannot fix it because the inside of the engine bay is stripped but all in all this is a really good bike with a really good engine
Oh man! I'm about to sin but I wonder if you could JB Weld a new bolt in?? But good to hear that it is a good bike!
Fellow Pennsylvanian here ... in for the entertainment/drama of trying to get this titled/registered. If its easy I'm buying one of these in the spring and selling my 86 Suzuki Intruder.
I've heard that people really arent having the issues they used to when registering it in Pennsylvania. I'm going to get everything done here in the next two weeks and I will make an in-depth video on it! Thanks for tuning in!
Get the bike I got one like 3 weeks back and I already LOVE IT
Fuel reserve is what I keep my quad on when I’m riding. It’s drains the tank down almost all the way and leaves a little in the tank so you can get somewhere before your empty.
Interesting. Well, that's probably what I will end up doing too. I did confirm that i just didnt have enough fuel in the tank to run it on the ON position. Kind of ridiculous since I had atleast a gallon in there.
That is weird it usually leaves a fourth of a gallon or so.
Great content by the way.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
@@TyposGarage You really should just use "on" on the fuel petcock. It has a tube that goes up into the tank so it wont drain the tank completely. If you run out of gas, you should THEN switch to "reserve" which will get the remaining tank fuel and should get you at least a few more miles to fuel up.
i have yet to find any bad reviews for this bike, seems like a really good deal
I'm really having fun on it. Still have a few tuning things to deal with, but it is awesome!
Went ahead and order a new Basham Vitacci Raven with my Stimulus $$ for 1500. Some dealers are selling that same bike for 1700 or more. I hope it will last a couple seasons. It looks like a nicer bike than my !50 ICE Bear Scooter. OLDRICK
Nice hawk, I got a green one my self lol. By the way the odo is in km not miles.
Shit, I didnt even notice lol thanks!
I got a DLX Hawk 250 I did adjust the valves because the valves are tight and changed spark plug to a E3 plug claims it fires evenly all around the plug. I did have trouble getting it into neutral but once the bike got broken I have no problem shifting back into neutral while driving
I did have to adjust the height of the bike too tall and I am 6 feet tall .
I agree that it is hard to find neutral! I changed my plug to an iridium plug and it seems to be better. Did you just adjust the setting on the rear shock?
@@TyposGarage yes the back shock it's a bit tricky to get to had to use a big flat screwdriver tap with hammer to spin lock ring.
!!!STRONGEST!!!
How did it go in pa. I’m from pa also near Philly. Was thinking on getting one bought a Apollo250 years ago and enjoyed that thing
Nice! I looked at those, too. As far as getting the title and registration, it was really easy. I even was able to get it inspected and takey skills test at the dmv on it.
what are you recording with? the quality is really good
Thanks man! This was filmed with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. In some other videos, the cinematics were filmed with a Canon T5 DSLR. I'm looking into buying the new GoPro Hero 9 because the footage looks amazing!
I can smell this video. Mine gives off a very distinct smell every time I run it.
It does! It's almost like the paint is burning off lol I definitely know what you mean.
I got same bike Henson hawk 250 I had put choke up then down run
seen two other videos on this bike they also couldn't figure out until later that it was a 250 not a 300 neither one had to adjust valves but both had peckock problems and also if I remember right from my dirt bike days if it hasn't changed reserve usually holds a 1/4 to a half gallon its not much at all but still for the price for just a tooling around fun machine it might be worth good vid sir
Thanks man! I'm not sure why these companies can't get the specs right lol Yeah I'm not sure what the internals of the tank look like but I wonder if the petcock was built backwards? I'm not sure. Got a new one on the way.
It's actually a 230cc lol
These bikes are good, it's the Honda accord of 3rd world countries. I got the csc tt250 "deluxe" model:)
Don’t sit on it with the kickstand down I broke mine off the weld snapped but 700 miles hauling 2 people with several oil changes and breakin changes not one issue I live in wv it’s amazing on trails
Awesome! Now that the bike is dialed in, I can tell it is going to be a strong engine and only get better with time. That kickstand is definitely cheap. I'll keep that in mind.
The on position on the petcock isn’t working because you don’t have enough fuel in it 🤦
I had over a gallon in there which is more than enough to supply fuel in the on position. I bought a new petcock and it works down to much less fuel in the on position
Hi, I bought this bike couple months ago and having idle issues. At the moment, the bike will not turn on as I keep hearing a click when turning on.
Well the click is probably a dead battery. As for the idle issue, did you change the carb when you first got it? The carb that comes with this bike is trash and is really hard to dial in. I suggest getting a new carb and a jet kit. Check your elevation and pick out a main jet that will work for you. I went with a 110. You may also need to turn the idle up.
chain tensioner was stripped when it cam took it for a ride didnt notice and i the chain fell off i was pretty pissed some of the fearing's were broke too
Damn! Were you able to get a new tensioner? It's a real gamble what you get when ordering these bikes. I didn't have any issues with the fairings, but I had some tuning issues and had to tighten most of the bolts.
if i want to try to learn how to build it or should i seek help?
My bike low throttle have to leave choke half while riding I tried cutting choke off but it would die
Sounds like you need to either up the size of your jets or adjust the a/f mixture screw. Or both.
How fast is this stock? bcthat speedometer is not reliable
I'd say around 55-57 MPH, depending on the road. I just changed the front and rear sprockets, along with the chain and it has greatly improved the rideability.
I have the same bike just a couple years older, I have a question
Sure, what's up?
Don't forget to check your spokes.
That is definitely a good idea. I checked mine out and everything seems tight.
On your first ride on the Hawk 250cc Dirtbike did the Dirtbike feel heavy when you were riding it???
It actually feels pretty light and nimble. It was really easy to control off road, also.
I didnt have any problens with the pet cok valve on my 2020. But my clutch cable nut down on the engine was loose and making it only engage sometimes. Was really confusing on a brand new bike i was wondering wether that was nornal for a brand new clutch geting broken in. But no someone at the factory just didnt tighten those 2 bolts.
Yeah. I'm not sure who is putting these bikes together, but they aren't doing a very thorough job lol. The most concerning loose bolts were on the brake calipers.
@@TyposGarage yeah an some come with the forks done and some you gotta raise them and level them flush with the triple tree but mine came done already but 2 of the 4 bolts were loose
Check page 6 of owner manual fuel valve
I checked the manual and it doesn't give much information other than what each position means. I got the replacement petcock ready to install.
getting ready to buy a new 250 Hawk. can y recommend a good online dealer. how about this new Vattaci Raven?
I would say TX Powersports is the most reputable. They have pretty good customer service and replacement parts if you end up needing any. I'm not actually sure what the Vattaci is! I'll check it out.
What’s the best way to buy one of these?
I would shop around for the best price and go from there. They changed the price on Amazon, but it was incredibly easy to buy it from there. You can buy directly from TX Powersports also.
Where u able to get it registered? I am also from PA, just ordered one, i also have an 01 sv650s😅
I haven't registered it yet. My shift at work has made it hard to get to the DMV. Although, I just called the local messenger service/notary and they said they can create the title and get me plates for it. I think I'll go that route. I'm going to try and go this Tuesday, so I'll let you know.
Good look on the SV650! 🤘 They are an awesome bike.
@@TyposGarage thank you, looking forward to seeing if the title process goes smoothly.. I read on a hawk blog that in PA its best to go to a small notary, the type that still gives u a pink slip, and not the instant registration. I am in SW PA PS: subscribed !
Yeah I read that too. I transferred a title from Ohio to PA for my scooter at this notary and they gave me a pink slip. I'm actually in western PA too. North of you in Sharon. Thanks for the sub!
Carbureted or fuel injected
This is the carbureted version.
What gloves are you wearing
I actually bought them from Amazon like 3 years ago. They weren't real expensive, but have held up pretty good. I don't think they are available anymore.
Which color should I buy? Blue or Black?
Cast a vote.
Blue
So this wouldn’t be a good commuter bike for someone that’s 5’7?
While it is pretty tall, I think you would be able to ride it. I think there are some aftermarket setups that would lower it a bit and not break the bank. How far would you be commuting?
@@TyposGarage not very far at all. I have a 30 mile round trip from home to work. I do have a lot of stop and go on my way back and that’s my biggest concern.
I like mine a lot
I know you/he says that you can adjust the shocks for height, but is the body of the bike good for someone who's 6'6"?
@@ProudWhiteBoy are you a Caucasian male from the south? Asking for a friend
@@ProudWhiteBoy it's a joke my guy
You would definitely be able to ride it, but I can't say that it will be comfortable!
Bout a year ago I had to help a coworker change out the carb and rear sprocket was too hick for the chain
Yeah. The carb is usually the first thing to go on these bikes. When I change the sprockets, I'll be replacing the chain with something beefier. The stock chain looks like it would fit on a bicycle haha.
@@TyposGarage it pretty much will
only if the gas tank is full the ON will flow fuel ..GL
Yes I am aware. I addressed the issue in my mods video. I show how the petcock is designed. The "on" fuel stem is really long and requires almost gallon of gas to be in the tank. For testing purposes, I didn't fill the tank up past the "on" fuel stem.
@@TyposGarage Was just from experience from most classic bikes
I appreciate the comment!
Is the 2020 model Hawk 259 any better than the older ones?
I don't think they have changed much since they came out. They released the fuel injected model, but the carbureted version is basically the same.
How fast does it go
On flat ground, I would say 50-55 mph. 60mph downhill. With a sprocket change, it could be 65-67mph top speed.
Chonda life!
How did it get gas in the oil
I'm guessing from overthrottling while trying to start it for the first time.
What part of PA are you in? I'm in Erie myself
I'm actually from Sharon. So, about an hours drive/ride from you.
@@TyposGarage that's cool, I don't think I've ever been to Sharon. You ever come up to erie?
Not missing much down here lol. Yeah I make my way up there occasionally. Been to waldmeer and Presque isle a bunch of times.
Great first ride!👍🤘
Thanks man! 👍
What’s the top speed
I've had it up to 55 mph and ran out of road. It claims 60 to 65 as a top speed. At 65mph, the bike would be at the rev limiter. A sprocket change would make 65mph more smooth.
@@TyposGarage thanks for responding I’m hoping to get one in the near future. Is it simple enough for someone who have little experience with bikes to do?
Absolutely. It's really simple to work on and to keep running! There's not too much you can screw up on it.
Great bike amazing
Does it pop wheelies ?
Little wheelies. I bet if you changed the sprockets, you could ride real nice wheelies.
Its on newegg for 1,399
Is that with shipping included?
@@TyposGarage yes, here is the link. www.google.com/amp/s/www.newegg.com/amp/p/12W-002U-00003
How long did your shipping take? And where did you get it from?
I ordered it on Amazon from Smart Toys LLC or Smart Deals Now. There are a bunch of different dealers, so check the reviews and choose one you feel comfortable with. I ordered the bike on a Saturday and it was delivered to my house that following Wednesday. I was shocked how fast it arrived!
Dad layed it over hitting a tree stump rim is bent😭
Ouch! I bet you can find a used one online.
@@TyposGarage nope but my grandpa found got one off of a bike that he sold so he has to do some other things and i can drive it again
What’s the 0-30?
Not sure yet. I will be testing it off road and on some back roads in the next few days. So, I will find out for you.
Size tire ?
80/100-21 for the front and 110/100 - 18 for the rear
Will it go 60
It will top out at 60mph stock. With some modifications, 70mph is achievable. So, the modifications would make it cruise at 60-65 much easier. The stock bike is screaming at 60mph.
70 on a tbr7 just changed the carb
Your out of gas your level changes on reserve
🤪
So these bikes are ok. They are not a honda, they are more of a copy of a copy of a honda. Think of the movie "multiplicity"
I go th one in green
I was looking at the red one at first, but ended up getting the green. I think it looks sick.
Dear sir respectly, I would like to buy this bike Red color. i'm from NEPAL. Asia continent In which country can I buy this bike? Please tell.
So, the dealer that I bought from through Amazon only ships in the USA as far as I can tell. I would call or message a couple of different sellers and see if they ship worldwide. You may have a dealer in Nepal that could ship it to you. Hope that helps!
Yall out here riding cause of Biden I swear 😂
What a great deal, that ride would be perfect for just messing around in the woods! I just began riding off pavement and love it. Here is a recent post of mine: ua-cam.com/video/u5pkii1FSc8/v-deo.html
Yeah man. Honestly, from just cruising around in this video, I can tell it is going to be a fun bike! I will be riding it off road for the first time this week. So, watch out for that video! Thanks for tuning in!
