Dirt Road Riding and some Hawk 250 Updates and Complaints - A Dual Sport Motovlog

[@HippoDrones]

Looked like a fun place to mess around on your dad's plot of land. Lovely dirt roads, especially with the lake view :-)

Ya it's nice riding, just exploring around. Definitely a fun around to mess around at. Thanks for checking it out!

@@skydcontrol that is what dualsport is all about my friend 🙂

Hey. Thanks for the videos. I'm seriously considering this purchase. Do you have a suggestion of who to buy it through?

[@skydcontrol]

I got mine through TXPowersports, you can get it on Amazon also under the name X-Pro instead of RPS and then you get the bonus of having it amazon backed. I think there's a link in my video description if you wanna go that route. I love mine, good cheap fun.

There is a Phillips screw on the mirrors that will tighten them up, seems to work pretty well. I did a 30mm riser (had to reroute clutch cable) and rolled the handlebars forward abit and it made a huge difference, much more comfortable for sitting or standing and an added bonus is you see the mirrors better. I’m actually doing the 17/45 sprocket swap today, I’m excited to see how she does! Any thoughts on tire pressures?

[@skydcontrol]

Ooooh, ya I see the screws now, thanks. Ya I might do my fat bars tomorrow depending on what else I've got going on. I'm loving the 16/45 combo I did, perfect for me. As far as tire pressure I'm running about 25 front and rear. I would go a tad lower but without rim locks it makes me a tad nervous.

@@skydcontrol 16/45? 🤔 oh snap I just realized you have the OG hawk which comes with 15/50 stock (I have a dlx which comes with 16/50) Keep making videos man, Good stuff!

[@skydcontrol]

@@atunleashed oh yep, carb model here. My buddy Motocheez has the DLX. I didn't realize those came with a 16t front.

[@atunleashed]

@@skydcontrol Yesir, just did my first test ride with 17/45 and it seems like the perfect combo for street riding. Bumped the cruise speed up ~5mph with no noticeable loss of torque👌🏼 Motocheez is the man but your maintenance/install videos are better 🤫 lol
