Hawk 250 swing arm bushings
Does anyone know where these can be found at? I am not having any luck on finding these. There was a lengthy post on replacing these but no answere on where to find them at. Any help will be appreciated!!!

a little over 1000 miles on the bike and they are toast!! it could had been from the bolt not being tight enough not sure but bolt looks okay. Chain kept coming off and finally diagnosed it last night. drove the bushing sleeves out and riding around town looking for a replacement is not fun!

Are the Hawk bushings the typical type, where there is a metal tube encapsulated by rubber?

I changed sprockets today and figured I should check since it would only add a couple of minutes. Boy am I glad I did, my bushings were utterly barren of any grease. Mine is a new July 2016 model also. I lubed it and the rear shock connection before re-assembling.

The problem from what I've seen is that the inner metal bushing came out of the rubber inwards causing the swing arm bolt to wear away the rubber. Solution was to go to the auto parts store and buy some rubber hose to replace the damaged rubber and then cut a length of copper tubing to keep the two inner metal bushing from coming out.

I know these things are built on the cheap..
but rubber bushes in the swing arm pivot that just screams nasty... they had them on the boys pitbike.. but on a bike like this.... why.. I machined bronze bushes & sleaves for it if yer can't find bearing to fit... cut the eyes out of the swing arm... machine new ones to take bearings.. weld them back in.... that would be my fix anyway.... ... |

A well greased bronze bushing is very hard to wear out, and it improves handling by reducing the tendency of the rear wheel moving from side to side. Try it. You'll like it. |
There are roller bearings that will replace those.Tho I'm not sure what size.I've never had one, so I'm not sure exactly how the rear swing arm is set up.The bearings need an inner race,aka sleeve,to ride on, and for the bolt to clamp down on, so the swing arm doesn't bind up as it travels up and down.
