Hawk 250 Buying process what to expect

[@yomommaahotoo264]

The difference between the Hawk and Orion starts with truth in advertising....whereas the Orion actually IS a 250cc engine vs the Hawk's 230cc.....and it DOES make a difference.

[@SteverGarage]

Which bike are you talking about? :) I know Orion power sports sells some 125s They also have pre order for a 250 currently. :)

[@yomommaahotoo264]

@@SteverGarage Yeah, I'm referring to previous and pre order Orion 250's.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

And btw, I'm not pointing at you for the discrepancy, but the manufacturer.

[@jaykoerner]

​@@yomommaahotoo264 is the Orion the same engine platform or is it the overhead cam version? I agree the whole 250 nonsense is annoying, but even the majority of the overhead cams are not actually 250s, if it's an overhead cam I'll also assume it's a 6-speed

[@yomommaahotoo264]

@@jaykoerner I'm not sure about that. Thinking instead about ordering a KPX250 (an actual 250cc) for a friend for xmas.

Wish I had money to buy my hawk new but I got mine off of FB marketplace with only a bill of sale no title so I just use it off road wish I could register and plate it

[@SteverGarage]

It Varys in each state but it depends if it was ever titled or not. If they never titled it you can sometimes reach out to the dealers telling them you lost yours and they will send you a new certificate of origin Or you can file for lost title :)

How is your fuel mileage after carb and sprocket change? I'm getting 1 in August, and I want to know simple economical upgrades or mods.

[@SteverGarage]

I have honestly never checked my fuel economy. I know the sprocket change helped cause without it, it was at 7k RPM at 50mph. As i didn’t loose too much torque Carb just all around improved running

Where can I get a side stand please help

[@SteverGarage]

In this case I would go for a tt-250 kick stand. Should fit up perfectly and will be cheapest / best quality Also ships from California cscmotorcycles.com/zt33-101-06398-kick-stand-2016-up-tt250/ You can also call CSC and ask sales any questions they would probably even take measurements for you if you just ask. Should bolt right up tho! Let me know if you need any other info!

[@capt.Justin]

6:21 exactly these fool on KZbin are not taking their time to put the bike together but the want to blame the bike.

[@SteverGarage]

It’s unfortunate that some people have bad experiences with these bikes sometimes. Mistakes when putting a vehicle together can be very dangerous and normally you can tell by the failure it it was user caused. :) On the flip side learning from step one how to work on the bike can be helpful for others!
