Since un boxing the Hawk, my garage smells like Harbor Freight.

SHE's ALIVE!!!! Finally had time to finish putting everything together and started her up. Took a little finagling to get her started and idle. Also, get my miscellaneous jet kit in. It's drizzling here at home (Massachusetts). Only got a little test ride in.
What's does everyone run for fuel octane? Premium? Supposed to be sunny and 50 tomorrow. I'll put a couple easy miles on her tomorrow, and then change out the oil again. I might just pull the trigger and buy a mikuni carb this weekend so I don't have to hassle with this one. Change out the jet in the mikuni when it comes in and before I toss it on. I plan on doing the cluster and an exhaust in the future. But for now, I'm just going to enjoy it as it is for a little bit  Now, to decal it or not? |

Looks nice
 Leave the decals off. I'm thinking about taking mine off. Manual recommends 90 octane minimum. I think if you go with the middle grade you should be good.

We in America use AKI for fuel testing... Your HAWK should run just fine on regular 85 to 87 fuel in North America... about the same as 90 RON over in China... Our Bashan 200 has higher compression ratio then the HAWK and it runs just fine on 85 gas

No need for anything higher than 87 octane. I agree with Jerry... leave the decals off.
