New Hawk 250, additional assembly required

[Republic]

Driver dropped my new hawk off today, and right off the bat I could tell it was different from what I've seen online. My exhaust was attached but the rear subframe was not. The subframe was also bent slightly. And no instructions. Anyone have instructions for the rear subframe area? Any tips on how to fix that off kilter subframe? Its just the last inch that is off kilter.

Well that's different than any i have seen on here. Where did you get it and what year is it?

I got it from q9powersports.com and it is a 2016. It looks like my box was smaller, so maybe they have changed how they pack them in order to fit more into a shipping container?

Edit: Thanks for the photo on the other thread, now I know how it goes. Just need to figure out how to put the rear 'handles' on.

"Written Instructions and a step by step CD-ROM Video Instructions are also Included for an easy reference" from q9 webpage. lol

I had an XR with a subframe that was bent just like that. I had somebody hold the bike upright, and I placed a long pipe on top of the high side and under the low side. I then tweaked the pipe downward until the subframe was straight. Worked like a charm on that bike.
