vicbarber · 08-26-2016, 08:35 PM

just purchased a hawk 250, i assembled it yesterday and was able to turn it on, i came back today after work to turn it on again and nothing, changed the spark plug to an ngk spark plug that was on this page, and still nothing, i don't know what to do now

you will have to post what is and isn't happening so me and the other gang bangers around here can understand .What does "won't turn on " mean exactly ?does any lights go on ?does it sound like the starter is turning when you push the starter button ? Or did it just say either good night ,or more than likely nothing at all ,then turn its back on you and go to sleep ?

Pull the clutch in before hitting the starter button.Sometimes mine shows it's in neutral on the dash but it's not.

Kill switch is my first thought.

What's the battery voltage?

vicbarber · 08-27-2016, 04:21 AM

I put the key in and hit the start button and the starter turns the engine over but it won't fire up, it has had because I took the plug out and it's wet. Bike has less than 10 miles on it, it cranks but doesn't turn on, battery died so I jumped it with my truck turned off

Kill switch check ?

vicbarber · 08-27-2016, 11:02 AM

Is there anything else I should be looking for on the kill switch besides it being up or down?

Bruce's · 08-27-2016, 11:22 AM

Do you have a meter ?you can disconnect the wires and check for continuity .I don't specifically know the hawk ,does it have a kick stand switch? Is the bike in neutral ? Have you tried kick starting the bike?

culcune · 08-27-2016, 11:42 AM

Have you tried kick-starting it?

BigDoug · 08-27-2016, 03:56 PM

Can you short out the starter solenoid to get it to crank?

Bruce's · 08-27-2016, 04:07 PM

Re-reading his second post ,the car does crank ,has fuel ,and probably no spark .He needs to help us help him at this point .

I once had an old Jetmoto enduro that came with a 200cc Zongshen engine. Had the same issues and it turned out to be a fouled spark plug. I would change the plug to begin.

He probably figured it out and we will never hear from him again on what the cause was which sucks.
