I go by the name of CHINA Motorsports. Motorsports is spelled with an “$” for plural because I specialize in all type of Chinese bike but chooses only 2 of the highest end that are the best in the market. If your clutch is shifting hard, the likeliness of a clutch disk to shift hard by a rider is not the assembly rather outside the assembly. Because if there were anything wrong with your clutch assembly you would have heard noises and wouldn’t be able to shift. A common cause that does hard shifting is loose engine mounting bolts. Specially in Chinese bikes as they are always strip upon first assembled in the warehouse with over-torque impact wrench. That’s only for “shifting hard” and because you mentioned you have a Hawk 250, the chain sprocket cover may be installed wrong. Depends if your set-up has a longer shifting rod that needs something in the middle or anything out of the ordinary, remove it, then check your shifter pedal. The spring should release freely with any up or down movement and as you are installing it constantly check your pedal to see if it moves freely as when it was without cover. There shouldn’t be any difference and the cover should only serves the purpose of protecting your feet from getting chain grease. Or the rider if in case your chain snap, in that case the damages will be contained and you will have a broken engine, but you will be protected. Once you can detect which variable I mentioned above that made you shift hard, change your bolt and tight them without impact, or the chain cover, then check your clutch free play. It should be noted that having a Penny and measuring the gap of your lever is the right amount of distance that you should use if you can’t determine the difference with a metric ruler trying to find 20mm. Also please do not open your Hawk 250cc engine because there are no gasket available to order to seal it back up, and you will have to find me which is not cheap. So for your sake, try to enjoy your bike and not acting like a pro. Because acting like a pro means you got your shit together with tools, materials and equipment, whoever you may be of whatever job you do daily. You are still a newb if you starts a new project without all the essentials so instead of starting, don’t start at all. A common practice I use, I always service my bike when I know what’s wrong and I buy all the parts even if I overbuy parts. But once I start the job, it gets finished with only timing and not waiting on helps or scratching my balls what to do next. |

CHIMOT,
I'm sorry, for someone who readily admits to be the supreme "know-it-all" concerning Chinese motorcycles...eBay sells gasket sets that perfectly fit my Hawk like 229cc motorcycle, so sorry...you don't know everything! https://www.ebay.com/itm/253539666887 Also, taking your clutch case off is seriously easy!
