I picked this one up recently as well (for my 12 yr old's upcoming bday) and my opinion is that the stock parts are decent quality. I swapped out the monoshock bolts for stainless 3/8" bolts of the...

Optimal carb jet size depends on a number of factors. Since you're planning on upgrading the exhaust, you'll need a larger main jet (compared to stock) since the Hawk will run even leaner with...

Thanks for the tips! I wired it up and used the existing washers that were on the old banjo bolt. I ended up soldering the hydraulic switch to the Hawk connector so it's plug & play. Didn't even have...

I'm still not sure why that clamp is on the newer model Hawks (mine had it as well, bought back in May 2018). It clamps the exhaust together but definitely not the best type of clamp for that.

The compression on the Hawk is under 10:1 which means it's not a high compression engine and does not require "premium" grade gas to run well. I usually fill with premium only because the tank is a...

Yeah I was kinda surprised the tach wasn't at least showing some weird behavior with 12V going into it. You'd think it would've lit up a little brighter. ;)
