Here is a link to a sprocket calculator. just type in Hawk in the filter and then select Hawk 250. http://woodsware.aciwebs.com/gears/ You can play around with that to figure out what you want to do. I'm currently running 16/40 because I have been doing about 50/50 on and off road cruising 55-60 mph on the highway.
Thanks a lot JerryHawk250. If I run a 40-tooth rear sprocket with a stock front sprocket, how do I determine how many links my chain should have? Because I also plan on buying a high quality chain for my Hawk 250 and wondering how many link chain I should order for a stock front + 40-tooth rear sprocket setup. Thanks!!
