Need a chain guide/slider for Hawk!
Does anyone know where I can get another chain guide (slider)?...NOT a chain GUARD....for my 2017 Hawk 250? I removed and discarded the original chain guide (embarrassing story...I'm brand new to motorcycles and I thought it was packing material to protect the chain from hitting the swing arm. )
We can hear the chain occasionally hitting the metal swing arm when we ride. That can't be good for the chain. BTW, we will be upgrading to JT Sprockets (17/45 combo recommended on this site) and a new chain (JT Sprocket 130-Link Heavy Duty X-Ring Drive Chain (520 X1R2). The CSC website does NOT offer the part for the TT250....

Miss guided chain guide on hawk 250
I guess the guide was primary to keep chain
From wearing thru frame when chain sagged This is the worst example of a guide I have Ever seen.I have seen some mods that were Just a patch job. I hope if someone gets it right They will post it with pics. |

- Not a substitute for a slider, but a nice, low cost addition / backup to have that addresses the same issue . Available in the color of your choice :https://www.ebay.com/p/Portable-Moto....c100005.m1851

Good call on the chain tensioner...you can find them on eBay sold in the US as well, much faster shipping. Use caution when installing them though as some are cheaply made and may break, causing more issues than they help resolve.
