Thank you I'm going to take your advice and work on replacing the rim/tire and work toward getting a new connecting plate. I will leave the forks for last and see where I'm at. I had a friend come by today and he said that the forks don't look bad and he thinks they are still in good working condition. My friend said he used to ride all the time, but I have never seen him on a bike or even ask to ride mine so I wasn't sure if i should trust this advice. But after reading your response I'm feeling a lot better about it and feel when I get the new parts I will be better able to assess my fork situation. My brother is doing good. Thank you for asking. He just has lot of scrapes and bruises. I'm so happy that he had enough sense to put all my safety gear on including my Full face bell helmet or it could have been a cracked head and a bunch of broken bones. I must admit I can't help but feel a little responsible as I should have had the keys put away or had my bike chained up so this wouldn't have been possible. I to have learned a lesson from this. Thank you for your response.

They also had all other parts for the Hawk one would need. So hopefully this works out for me and possibly anyone else who might need parts. Thank you all for the help you have been giving me and I also welcome anymore advice anyone can offer me on this matter. China Riders is a wonderful site!! Thank you all so much you are very helpful!!

Good for you.

I'm glad you were able to find all the parts.

I used to fix bent bikes when I was a kid in highschool ,if the forks are bent ,but not kinked ,you can easily straighten them if you have access to a shop press and some v blocks .Also ,please pull the gas tank and check that the frame is not bent ,your brother did a real number on your bike .I would also be carefull of the front wheel bearings at this point ,check them before wasting your time replacing the rim .

sorry but i have to ask. just what did your brother do? looks like a jump came down on front wheel first into a curb ;] hope the bro isnt as messed up as that triple tree!

Kneedeepinit · 02-25-2016, 12:53 PM

I'm not really sure as i was out of town but he says he lost control and hit a pine tree. But there are a few trails around my land with a few small to medium jumps so I'm thinking he was trying a jump and ended up either coming down on front rim and then with condition of rim caused him to side swiped a tree but again I'm unsure. And he knows he wasn't suppose to be on the bike in the first place so I think he is sugar coating it as he is afraid he will be in more trouble than he already is.

Well sadly I have yet to recieve my parts. Aparently they have been lost or something along those lines and when I contacted RPS they told me to wait til the 25th of this month (ordered on febuary 25th) and If I haven't recived it they will ship me a replacement. Needless to say I'm not very happy. Looks like i'm going to be waiting a while before I can start putting my bike back togther! FML

Send me a message in a few days if you don't get the parts.

would it be easier to search for a used hawk with a blown motor and do a heart transplant?

Hello everyone, It's been sometime since I first put this post up. I have recently been able to get the parts needed to fix my Hawk. I replaced the Upper connecting plate, front fork set, and Front rim/ innertube.

As you can imagine i'm super happy. A couple things on the bike were kinda frozen in place I guess from not getting used. So i had to remove the throttle and went through it just making sure everything was clean. Didn't really see why the throttle was sticking but after removing and putting back togther it seems to work fine. And the other thing I had to play with was my clutch as it wasn't engaging and disengaging properly. I would have the bike in neutral and when i engaged the throttle and drop bike into first and still had clutch pulled in it would give a little hop and stall out. I was able to follow the clutch line and clean what i could. I also clean the clutch arm (silver thing that the clutch line runs too.) It seemed pretty stiff so i cleaned it up. After that I was able to put bike in and out of gear without to much problem. It does still feel a little off to me. Any suggestions?? The last problem I seem to be having is the starter (possibly) and Battery. I tried to start the bike and I was getting a lot of just clicking sounds when trying to use electric start. So I just decided to kick start it. which worked. After i got the bike up and running I took it for a very small ride down the block and back. After i got back to the house I noticed fluid Dripping from Battery. Took some paint of the bike and everyting.

So any suggestions to these problems or any Advice is greatly apperciated. I have added some pictures of my bike put back togther and also where the Battery was leaking. I think I would like to change the battery and starter out if anyone has some good upgrades they could suggest. Thank you all for your help and suggestions!

If you have a multimeter,I would check the battery voltage,the voltage with the bike idling,and the voltage with the bike rev'd to 3500 rpm.Most bikes don't start giving full charge until after 3000 rpm.With the bike off,you should have a resting voltage around 12.5 to 13 volts.At idle, the voltage should be 13.7 to 14 volts.At 3500rpm,the voltage should be 14.2 to 14.7 volts.If it's higher,your battery is being boiled and causing the acid drops on the side.If everything checks out,look into a replacement AGM battery.I have had really good luck with Scorpion batteries from batterystuff.com

nice ... you did a fine job on this bike, looks good as new ... after you get that battery changed out, a little paint on that side cover will have you looking good as new again there too ... way to stick with it to the finished product
