Josh great job it's a nice clean sleek look. I think it definitely makes your bike stand out. Motocheez always love your videos and I'm really liking seeing your audience participation. It was a great idea to supplement your videos and see what others are doing and what you've inspired great job my friend.

Josh great job

[@thomasmarquez6790]

Opening that air box and adding the cone filter will make it run more lean on a EFI. On a carb you can make your manual adjustments. Probably why the exhaust is so hot. From my experience from tuning Mustangs it has to be programmed to make fuel adjustment. Pretty sure it's the same concept.

[@MotoCheez]

That is possible if the ECM doesn't compensate enough. Tested the ECM after the work done to see if it will learn new map

[@CDLNEPA]

Just starting out with my DLX. Gonna be a fun one to play around with

Awesome. Congrats

Hey man love the bike I ordered all the parts from your links, but one question what gear shifter are you using??

[@MotoCheez]

Not sure what shifter he is using, I have links on motocheez.com if theyre still active.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Nice bikes you guy's 👍.. I kind of wonder about the pegs and brake/shift levers. The bash protection. All that kind of looks lacking in strength on stock bikes. Any aftermarket heavy duty pegs and bash plates yet for these? Folding levers that won't bend? Enjoy your bikes all!

[@johnpauritsch1282]

Very nice f****** airbox out today I did mine in green and black with the Punisher theme but I got a lot of great ideas for me and my friend love the US Marine signal

How does the filter handle mud and water?

[@justindeflores778]

Nice mods, was the clear coat a spray? If so what product did you use? Great job 🤘

[@edwardmcfarland9021]

Honestly this is one of the best ideas I'm thinking about looking forward to I'll be getting one by next week and this bike with the mods is very sick🔥🔥 But I have an interesting question to increase more top speed do you think a 40 teeth rear sprocket will fit with the 17 two front sprocket? if so I will be upgrading the bike after I break it in the first 250 to 500 miles so the engine can have a breather, this video has make me eager to be apart of the bike family I had a 125cc and I gave it to my neighbor so this 250cc will be an awesome upgrade for me 🙂

[@MotoCheez]

You can get a 45 or 40 rear sprocket but when I've tested this it makes it totally worthless off-road and it does bring down your RPM close to top speed but it actually lowered my top speed a few miles an hour because it just didn't have the power to pull that higher gear ratio

[@Taematoe]

Is it possible to add fuel injection from a new hawk DLX to a 2017 carb hawk? Hmm that would be a cool mod. Nice looking hawk.

[@lv-blackhawk]

I'm sure you can 🤔 That's a very good idea 👍🏻

[@MotoCheez]

Yes, but the kit is almost $800, then you have to also upgrade the charging system like the DLX

[@JericoGoods]

Nice bike .... Those punisher skulls always make me laugh a little tho. Kinda like a 40 year old guy in tight jeans.

[@joshuaavila8317]

Where did you get the grips from also what size

[@MrRanbo004]

You have helped me before and worked 100 so now I damaged the front brake line so I need a new one I just have no clue if I can buy any line off eBay and the bolt is gonna fit it so that’s what I wanna know where can I buy just the hose that will fit it’s the front brake by the way so length is also another thing and I changed the exhaust and since the bike bogs when I rev high I’m on a stock carb but have not been able to buy the one you have on your site I bought one that I though was the mizuni but the Jets and everything was different then the ones on your site just want the right carb that I can upgrade Jets on just in case and the brake line I’m having a hard time finding either help please

[@MotoCheez]

I don't know what brake line will fit. My site shows links to "stock" carb jets and "mikuni" jets

[@MrRanbo004]

@@MotoCheez yeah I been trying to get the mikuni carb but ended up buying a fake the Jets I had bought before even ordering the carb so I ended up stuck the link you have for it is Amazon they been sold out since last year and have no clue where else to get it I’m just gonna take my chance on the brake line but the carb has been my biggest problem if it’s not too much to ask send me in the right direction if you know where else to find a original one

[@MotoCheez]

I'll check my links, I try and update them when they sell out.. The brake line might work off a crf230. Many other parts work. Did you try TXpowersports?

[@MrRanbo004]

@@MotoCheez I have checked everywhere no info but I’m gonna order the length size and by the bolt and hope it works but the carb is the bigger issue I got it to sound and pop like I wanted but it’s not riding right so it’s sitting but I gotta ride so yeah when you find the original send me the link I will definitely spread your channel and all the least I can do your the only person that does this for us broke Chinese bike riders lol

[@nateahlgren3253]

How capable is this thing off road? Some of the shots in E2 suggested that it was pretty capable given the power/ price tag

[@MotoCheez]

It's decent. It's not a true "dualsport" , it's more an "enduro". It's great on the road and trails, but it's no motocross bike...

[@nateahlgren3253]

@@MotoCheez I totally get that! I am really just looking for a cheap way to get around my college town and be able to rip some trails. I'm hoping it can handle reasonably technical terrain, even if it means going a bit slower

[@AnyManProjects]

I've been modding my Hawk DLX (EFI) and am worried it might be running lean. Seems to run great after warming up, and has more power, especially on the low end. Running lean should skyrocket head temps, but head temp is about 300 degrees here in Phoenix summertime, which doesn't seem bad. Has anyone done a retune on these ECU bikes?

How does the dlx stand against with the hawk? In terms of power?

[@MotoCheez]

Stock it has more power. The EFI makes it a little faster but lacks torque that carbs give when you crack the throttle.

Off season from my one employment I'm a Doomsday Prepper Trekker. Aka adventure traveler. So my Li¥ang 250 Hawk X is my dooms day bike. All original I racked up near 10k miles with nine being driven still on a bent rear and front rim . I think it'll hold up straight out the box. So now I'm basically upgrading it to a truck 250 plus necessities for surviving Doomsday. So you wanna Rhode together, ru sure about that?😂😂😂😂;😂 let me know my other employment affords me the ability to travel ten different states and about fifty cities plus.
