I love my Hawk, but spend the extra $600 and get the Templar X. The forks alone are worth it, but you find a lot of the stuff you have to buy for the Hawk already on the Templar X. It's worth it.

What is your current jetting? If it's cutting at full throttle but fine at all other ranges of throttle, I'd say try leaning your main jet, whatever it is.
