So the Hawk left me stranded yesterday. It just died. So the issues are, the electric start was working and turning the bike over but now it will not work. I could get a running start with the bike and drop it into gear to start it. Then it would start but then I would get about 1/2 a mile and it would just begin to die and as soon as I pull in the clutch the bike dies. When I press the electric start the gauge cluster blanks out and looks like it's resetting. If you need more details let me know. It's an electrical problem I assume, because I've torn the carb apart very recent, and there is fuel coming from the tank.

What is your battery voltage? If you manage to get it started again, try to see what voltage it is charging at.

I got the bike to start and had it idling for about 5 mins without issue. But in the process to get it going this device in the red circle is buzzing every time I'm pressing the ignition. After it was idling I turned it off to try to start it again and it would not start, and that little device keeps buzzing. The battery drops to 5V when starting which I assume is normal. The batter is 12.5V when it was idling. Any ideas? This bike has become such a headache, I can never ride it due to issues constantly coming up.

So you think it's a battery problem? I think that would make sense, the battery probably doesn't have the Amps to turn the bike over. We'll see, I'll check the levels tomorrow. Does anyone know where I could get a new battery? Or recommendations? Thanks.

Yes, it could be a battery problem. Now if you follow the procedure I outlined, the odds are that it is a battery problem, but, only if it fails the last test I described. I notice that you didn't think much of my comment on a ground problem. I would go through the whole routine before I bought a battery. But I know a way to test a battery that will 90% tell you if it is good. Charge the battery for two days on a trickle charger. Un-hook the charger and let the bike sit for 24 hours. Then hook up you voltmeter and watch what it does when you turn on the key - should read around 13 volts. Then push the starter button. If the voltage goes below 10 volts while cranking the engine, you've probably got a bad battery.

12.5 volts while the engine is idling doesn't help much, what is it when it is 3,000 rpm or higher? If still 12.5 volts, you have charging issues.

charging voltage should be in the low to mid 14 volts..
like was said... have the revs up..3000rpms or so.. start testing at the battrey... if low there work back down the charging ciruct to the stator.... ..

Alright guys, did some more testing.
W/O external power (NOT hooked up to car) Bike is off - Battery - 12.3V Bike is starting up - 3.8V - won't actually start Will not start, starter regulator is buzzing __________________________________________________ ____________ W/ External power (hookup to car) at idle 13.0V and dropping after I remove the external power 3K RPM - 4.5V and slowly climbs (0.1V per sec +/-) If I take her off external power she just slowly dies, and 1 out of the 4 starts, it was idling rough. These tests were all done right off the battery. __________________________________________________ ____________ I think this is a combo of a bad battery and stator. I am still lost as to what the main issue could be, I'll have to check all the grounds too, if someone can show me a thread with that or just post where they are located I can check them. I also have the battery on a trickle charger as of now. Thanks again.

Will all the TT250 parts work on the haw; stator, rectifier, ignition coil?

ignition coil will, I bought one for a spare. The stator and/or rectifier would require replacing the entire charging system.
