All I've been told is it should be available next year, a factory is about to start full production. We are also getting another 250cc dirtbike: the Magician.

Any photos of the Magician? Will you become sponsors of Penn and Teller to promote the bike

SpudRider · 10-23-2015, 12:20 AM

I'll repeat my question of post #28.

How much will the Taurus 2 X 2 cost?

I saw a photo the other day, it was black and shiny, reminded me of the xenomorphs from Aliens. I believe every unit shipped will magically include either Penn or Teller, with one in ten receiving both.

Hah, at this point nobody knows. Mass production hasn't started, but apparently a factory is being set up.

Thank you. I eagerly await further updates regarding this project.

Anyone know if we can order white plastic for the hawk 250? That color is not a option in southern Indiana lol or yellow? Thought maybe I could order just the plastic?

Does anyone know how (if even possible) to stiffen front forks on hawk 250, as it tends to dive upon braking a little more than i would like it to.

My experience with the CB's has dictated two things.
1- The original fork oil needs replacing immediately to make them respond as they should. It's very thin and low quality. Use some good quality fork oil.

2- They usually come woefully low on fluid. Find the proper fill capacity and refill them with that quality fluid. Many times this amount is found by removing the spring, compressing the fork and measuring from the top of the fork tube to the fluid level. These measurements and amount you'll need to locate.

This should fix your problem. Both my X-Moto 200 (Hondanoid) and my Q Link XP 200 were not correct and the forks reacted much better after I filled them correctly with quality fluid.

X2.

PADI_DIVER · 11-01-2015, 12:36 PM

Thanks, any recommendations on the oil i should use.
And another thing wanting to go with a smaller sprocket on rear, im sure someone has already asked and answered this question, but I'm new to forums as this is my first and dont really know my way around yet.

Any websites, or part number for sprocket would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there any way you could go into more depth on how to find how much oil "should" be in the forks I have searched all over and can't find any info from the manufacturer as to what weight or amount of fork oil (not that I expected too).

If you have the traditional, USD forks, you might enjoy reading the following thread.
