Question, does the Hawk have a storage compartment under the seat? I haven't seen anyone show under the seat at all. I know there's a box above the rear wheel under the fender.

No, sadly there's no storage compartment just that little plastic box.

Sounds stupid, I know, but I LOVE the color choices on thes RPS Hawk: Honda Red, "Yomama" Blue, and Kawi Green! Wish the DLX came in those colors and white. I agree with you, MotoCheez, and many others that these bikes are a great value in many ways, especially since pioneers like you have demystified them and their idiosyncrasies for U.S. Bought a Honda XR150L last year for my daughter's b-day and paid more than double for what isva made in China, assembled in Mexico Honda that is likely a very close cousin of the Hawk. Thanks again for shining a light on this bike, for sharing it with U.S., and for your graciousness in sharing your spotlight with MotoCheez. You two have earned a prominent spot at the entrance to the China Bikes' Hall of Fame!

@skydcontrol 6 ай бұрын
Engine sounds are super hard to diagnose without being there. Sounds like maybe just a ticking valve train. If you checked your valve lash and it's in spec then hard to say exactly but I like to start with decent oil and when you change the old check for excessive metal shavings or chunks.

Thanks for doing this video, sounds like you have the correct specs. I've seen some videos where they're saying adjust to as much as 004 on the intake and .005 on the exhauast. Sorry I listened to them, now I have to readjust the right specs. Tapping got real loud, and bike was even backfiring. Strange thing, my manual doesn't show valve clearance.

@@skydcontrol Thx for your reply! Major OPERATOR ERROR on my part, I ended up adjusting to .04 & .05 instead of .004 & .005. No wonder she wasn't burning the fuel. I ended up speaking with the US importer & distributor of all these bikes, and he told me his mechanic adjusts the valves to .007 & .009. Adjusted mine to .006 & .008 and she's running absolutely perfect! I don't believe any adjustment was needed to begin with, but it is good to know how to do this.

I bought all three of those things in your links and am going to adjust the valves before riding again because I fear I may be causing damage to them.
