I can top out somewhere near 65 if I'm on level grade and not fighting wind, and that's with a 200 Lifan. There is more in your Hawk, you just have to unleash it.

I figured it out, it wasn't a jetting issue. I was running a air filter straight off the carb and it wasn't running right at the top end. I ran the filter into the filter box and the bike runs great now and will top out at the 65 mph everyone has claimed, this change seems to have fixed the issue. The popping and gurgling coming off of throttle has disappeared as well, the bike sounds and runs better. Does anyone think the bike runs better with a slightly restrictive intake?
Has anyone else experienced this? I figure I'm running the bike more rich now. It really surprised me how much a difference it made. I've been messing with the jetting for the past couple weeks when I get a chance, and I couldn't get the mix right. Also, does anyone know where I could get a good replacement throttle assembly? Mine has play in it, figure I should replace it, RPS wants $40, that's a bit steep.

Is it just slop in the cable? Have you adjusted it?

Yeah there's slop for sure, at least an inch or two of travel before lifting the slide at all. I adjusted it as best I could but it didn't fix it.

http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/TT250-OEM-PARTS-s/306.htm I found a few parts but I'm not sure if it's just the rubber grips or the throttle assembly too... but everything I was able to find was under $10 each part

I'll look at it again this weekend, there has to be something I'm not doing right. That's the same conclusion I assumed too.

Jets and tuning with jet
So I got the 115/30 jets in my carb and did 1.5 turns out on the mixture screw, and the bike is still bogging at WOT and high RPMs 6k+. Do you guys think it's running to lean still? I tried turning the mixture screw out to 2 then 2.5 turns out and then setting it back to original (0 turns) with no luck. I know there are a bunch of threads on this but I haven't seen anything for the bogging. I also checked to see if the carb is clean and it seems as such. I'm at 3,500ft. Thanks again.
Update: I got my shinkos on and put some new levers on the bike and it looks sweet. I'll post some pictures later. Also, with ARH's post below, I didn't have the 30 pilot jet in it, I'll have to investigate the carb leak. I hadn't seen my thread in ages lol
