Wow! YOU are the magician, transferring a Chinese bike into a Yamaha! I wonder if anyone will ask you about the Honda engine in a Yamaha, lol?

Not trying to fool anyone, just think magician name is pretty corny. At least you Hawk owners have a good name.

I think the stop for kick start. There is also a silver bracket under the engine for the skid plate. Don't know if thats the one you are referring to.

OK, first oil change done.
Did a couple of short heat cycles and then rode it for about a mile and drained stock oil. Factory had too much in there and we all know the quality of it. I put in a little over a quart. Just want to say for about $1600.00 ($1214.00 for bike) with mods and a little work / imagination these bikes are great. I'm sure the same goes for the Hawk. I have a large parking lot here at work and gave it a good semi hard run 1-4 even got it into 5th for a short time. Bike pulls really strong and this exhaust sounds incredible.. Feels like it will wheelie 1st or 2nd with no problem. Stock Carb with my set up so far is perfect, and is very responsive with throttle input, revs up nice. I'm sure this set up will change once broken in and weather warms up, maybe. Again, bike pulls strong and idles and runs great. Some tech info below; Have 20wt oil in the forks and they feel great. My speedometer is about 3 mph off, not bad. May do a dig tach/speedo in the future. Stock Magician Carburetor I'm at about 150 ft above from sea level Temp today 45 degrees w 50% humidity Exhaust and foam air pod filter mod Drilled pilot jet a fraction of a hair, I think if I left it alone it would be OK 2 turns out on the fuel screw below Main jet I drilled with 1.2 drill bit Have the idle when warmed at 1400 rpm Engine temp got up to 235 degrees with semi hard pulls 1-4 running for about 15 minutes Engine temp was about 220 when going easier Temp was with digital temp gun at the spark plug base area and after I came to a stop and idled for about 30 seconds (edit) 4 thin washers on the needle. Finally got a outdoor photo. Last edited by mybike; 02-16-2019 at 07:08 PM. Reason: Carb info |

To be honest, the Hawk name is corny as well, but it is much more mainstream; but I doubt anyone with a Hawk could repaint it and make such a wonderful rendition of a mainstream bike like you did with your bike's transformation into a 'Yamaha'.

[QUOTE=2LZ;299705]Actually, Hawk and Magician are not bad at all compared to the likes of Kandy, WILL or Tank. The Chinese have come up with some pretty awful names in the past.
Chinese Tires Aren't Much Better: https://japan.webike.net/products/22895043.html Could be Japanese though. Depends on if they imported them

Can you title and regester a Magician in Missouri since it is not a DOT bike?

Since it is on the same EPA certificate as the Hawk, if Hawks are already registered there, you should have no problem since they (RPS or Hensim or Haosen) would in your state's motor vehicle computer system. Hopefully someone with a Magician in MO chimes in, but even someone with a Hawk will be representative.
