Howdy from Idaho
Hi everyone! I have been a lurker here for a few weeks and because of the great posts on this forum and that MotoCheez guy on youtube I pulled the trigger on a new Hawk 250. They only had Red and Green in stock so I figured if I was going to own a Chonda it should be red. The Hawk was delivered yesterday and I started uncrating it. Hopefully I will have it all together tonight after work.

I haven't register it as of yet, but headed to license it mon or tues. I called them, said I have to have a vin inspection. That is easy, I just call the sheriff dept and they come to my place, and give me a pink slip of paper, we know most of the guys, we always talk about guns and training.... I will let you know the hoops. I fired the bms250 up last night, the mrs had cut the seat, as she is short, she took it for a short ride, loved it! 2lz here told me it would be like riding a blender for the first few hundred miles, but actually the bike was smooth, engine was smooth. We ride sleds, and when we peg the throttle on them, if one is not having a good grip the sled will leave you in the snow. This bike is not a rocket, and doesn't have that brute power. But does give a nice throttle sensation. I over analyzed the set up, so it took me a few days between my daily jobs to get it put together. In the end, it was a straight forward set up.

Better to take a long time and over analyze things than to just slap it together quickly and potentially have issues.

Glad to hear it was easy to make legal. If you are going to adjust that idle mixture, it might be a good idea to toss in at least a 105 main jet in there as well.
