Hawk registered in Georgia & first road ride
Today I finally was able to register and get a tag for the Hawk & take it for a ride on the road.
For those interested I registered in Cobb County, GA and this is what was required. 1. MCO signed by the dealer (this arrived weeks after my bike and I had to keep bugging them) Also, I did not have to have it notarized. 2. Bill of sale I received from the dealer with the MCO 2. VIN verification form called the T22-B. For this I called a the tag office and they gave me a number for the police specifically for VIN verification. I left a message and a couple weeks later got a call back. The next day an officer came by my house and checked the VIN & signed it. 4. The agent did ask me a series of questions about the bike regarding turn signals, engine size, horsepower. She originally thought it was a scooter. (Edit) 5. Forgot to mention the price - it was around $160 to register. 6. Insurance proof (getting insured through Progressive was a process. Seems like they had to manually enter the info and when I received the MCO I called back and had them change a few things to match the MCO exactly. Now for my first road ride I have a few things to figure out. 1. Front brakes are super squishy and I have to jam hard 2. Some rattling noise from the front 3. Speedo is wayyy off. And it seems I can get up to around 45 with stock gearing. Is this normal? The gearing right now seems super short but I guess thats what dirt bike gearing is. 4. Still having some rev cycles that go up and down and at one point it stalled out I had to pull to the side of the road. I'm wondering how many miles I should go until I do the valves again? I changed out the jets and adjusted the needle to recommended tuning but this weird rev thing keeps making me think there is a vacuum leak. |
