Ok. Do I have to take off the chain cover or should I be able to just undo the 10mm bolt that clamps it down and adjust it?

Hawk 250 gear shift problem
I also had problems with mine not going into higher gears. I stalled out on accident one time and then as I tried turned the bike back on and it wouldn’t go into neutral!! It only let me shift into 1. I thought the battery died or something but it didn’t. Horn and lights worked! I played with the key and the kill switch. Still didn’t come on. After 10 mins I was going to get the bike towed, somehow it finally went into neutral and was able to cut on!! Mind you I’ve only rode on streets and also have less than 100 miles on the bike. Everything is still facory!

Yeah, that shift lever may be part of the problem, or all of it.

The Hawk will definitely start with the clutch lever pulled in all the way, shouldn't be an issue. You do not have to be in neutral to start the engine.
When the Hawk is new (under 200-300 miles), Neutral will be harder to find because the transmission is still "breaking in" and parts are still in the mating process. Using a standard motor oil (instead of a wet clutch compliant motorcycle oil) will also cause shifting difficulties and clutch slippage. From my own experience, when my Hawk had under 100 miles, it would not go into neutral after running the engine for awhile. I'd usually find it shifting halfway down from 2nd gear. Going into neutral from 1st was a shot in the dark. Beyond 100 miles however and after an oil change, no problems getting into neutral at all. Shifting definitely smooths out during engine break-in.

I recently bought a cy200. I was convinced the transmission was broken because I only had first gear and neutral. It would not shift up into 2nd or any other gear. It turns out, it was a neutral at the top, five all the way down.. Downshift rather than upshift. I even pulled the clutch cover off and took out the parts and put them back in, everything was fine. It was only after that I realized, 5 down. Such a rarity. And the guy that owned the Bike before me had the exact same problem. He had no idea it was five down.
