Possibly. I replaced the master, bench bled it, bled the brakes, and mnothing changed. So I'm taking it to a shop tomorrow. I know it's time when I catch myself running through the truck's future craigslist ad and what I'm going to say lol!

As for the bike, it's not looking good. Motocheez was kind enough to send me a couple spokes. He ships it with 2 day shipping, but it's not expected to make it here until Monday. Not his fault. So there's that. Not a happy guy right now.

From what I can tell on some of our bikes they have been using thinner spokes then the rims or hubs where made for. I was having lots of problems with 3.5mm spokes pulling out of my hub so I bought a new wheel and the new wheel uses the same hub as the old one but the new one came with thicker 4mm spokes. I no longer have problems pulling spokes. Most of these bikes seem to be coming with the 4mm spokes but some come with 3.5mm and those are the ones that give us problems. I bought a new set of 4mm spokes for my first wheel and they only cost me $30 with the nipples. You might want to swap out to the thicker spokes? :shrug:

eBay. But I need my bike tomorrow and having him send a couple was the only way I if a chance of making that happen. Otherwise I would've bought the pack off eBay and waited

Hmm. I'll check mine with a caliper. I bet I do have the 3.5

Been a few days. Package from motocheez showed up WITHOUT THE SPOKES! So I don't did not get the bike done in time to take it on my rrip. With Christmas the last couple days, the second package hasn't even em sho pipes yet and he sent it on the 23rd. I may be selling it soon to buy something bigger and more street friendly anyway.

No I never did. I got busy. Forgot to ask my neighbor to borrow his caliper. I will next time I'm over there

Got the bike fixed, rode it to a buddy's house and decided to sell it and move on to something bigger. I love the hawk but it's way to small if a bike for me. I don't have anywhere for off-roading so a street bike is a better fit anyways.

Any idea what you guys think it might be worth? It has 3200 miles, okayish paint job, 17/45 sprockets and a new jt chain. Fresh oil change, digital cluster, brand new battery tender lithium ion phosphate battery, mar shift lever, newish plug. Everything has less than 60 miles on it. I already have the ad up with an obo price, just curious what I can expect out of it.

95, the aftermarket on these bikes is really hit and miss. There was someone who just picked one up brand new for $985. It was a New Years Special at one of the online retailers. If you live in a state that will register them, that helps your value out quite a bit, and even more if you're in/near a college town. I would say that somewhere in the $1,200 neighborhood would be pretty close to the mark. I haven't seen the bike, so that's a blind guess. The correct answer to your question is "It's worth whatever someone will give you for it..." Keep us posted on how the sale goes. Happy New Year!

I usually give people that same advice lol, "whatever someone will pay". With these Hawk's, it's a little different. Not many used out there (in my area anyways). I live in Texas, I live about 20 minutes from a college campus and there are 3 dealers who sell chinese powersports in the area. I'd say I'm set on all of those fronts. I put an extremely high obo price because I want people to give me offers. I'll definitely let you guys know. Here's the bike...

Better?

Merlin 01-02-2017 01:07 PM

Much. I love how you still have the bungee cord on the kick stand.

95C1500 01-03-2017 03:12 AM

Adds character lol

Okay, I'm leaning more towards keeping the bike... for now anyways.

I finally managed to run all of the gas out of the tank so I figured I'd try to figure out the fuel float issue. I checked voltage of the battery (12.5V) and the connector for the gas tank on the bike side of the connector (4.76V). Is that reading normal for the connector? If it's right, the float itself must be bad.
