Nibbi PE30 on Hawk 250 with Loncin RE250 Engine SWAP Motovlog & Review

I finally got a Nibbi PE30 carburetor, the Nibbi intake and the Nibbi air filter for my 2019 RPS Hawk 250 with the Loncin RE250 engine swap. The engine is a clone of a Honda CRF230F engine and has an overhead cam and six speed manual transmission. It did make a noticeable difference, but isn't a magical cure for a lack of displacement. Come along for a test ride and be there when a distracted driver pulls out right in front of me.
Here are the parts used in this video.

Hey! just ordered my hawk and that carb. been watching all the vids i can, but when i want a great ride along i come back to this one! great sound and i feel right in the action!

[@7.62shawn5]

One of my favorite and fastest hawks on youtube! Hope to see more videos soon. I just got a bashon brozz 250 and i hope to use some of the mods you did on my bike. Thanks for sharing them!

[@MikeeLeeLing0118]

Here in Philippines we have a motorcycle with that engine. The number 1 recommended replacement for carb was always nibbi pe30. It's by far the best value for money, easy to tune, plug and play and superb quality for that engine. Great choice!

[@getoffenit7827]

Is it a Rusi Classic 250?

[@OddBallPerformance]

Nice to see more people rocking the PE30. Glad my jetting worked out for ya. It took me a while to get that part figured out lol. The adjustments being where they are is one of the best parts of that carbutetor too.

[@godlovessoldiers]

What jetting do you use ? What numbers ?

[@Hydemaintenanceman]

Same lol. Watched the video but you did it originally so I would like to know from you. Thanks

[@dustinmenard4459]

Watched your whole build this far. Great job, especially with the documenting! I believe you would be much more glad for your efforts, if you were to swap BACK to the original. I truly feel that the whole swap, this far, is a much further step forward in the comfort segment, which is equally critical in my opinion for any ADV bike. I really like what you did, and I feel thankful someone took the time to capture what is possible with enough patience. I'm mostly curious as too how much smoother the counter-balanced variant makes things. It's something possibly you only know! Well done

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Thanks for the comment. The best thing about this swap honestly is the counter balanced engine. It isn't a whole lot more powerful but six gears is fun and there is absolutely no vibration transmitted from the engine. It makes more a much smoother, more comfortable ride.

[@XXXCRSPL]

That Carb is a Beauty!! The bike sounds Great!!

[@mitchrodriguez6855]

I just bought a nibbi carburetor and filter for my kids 125cc and got it on. All I had to do was adjust the air screw, idle screw a small small amount and adjust the needle up one to make it more rich at topend(just cause). It Worked amazing.. I personally think its more the motors being Chinese made that the piston rings are not gaped the same to every 125 motor 150, and so on so comparison ratios are all over the place from my motor to your motor to the next one an that is causing more the issues then anything.

[@Streznick]

45 mph on a 30 mph road going up a hill with a slight blind curve and talking to KZbin, I'm glad your ok sir! Driver was blind to see you until they pulled out which they need to fix with a mirror or sign or something cause I'm sure that is not the first time for them to almost get T-Boned from that direction. Again I'm glad your OK. *I have done the same and I'm reminded by my 150 BPM to slow down and pay attention. You did great on control of the bike. Blessings

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

It's a 55mph road

At this point it's not really the Hawk anymore. It's more like the "Super-Hawk".

[@Texas_Made6990]

Technically u have to put the bore kit on and raise it 50 ccs to call it superhawk. About to do it to mine. But have no clue why that's what puts u into superhawk category. But superhawks are 300 cc from whay I get out of it

[@ksnipes24]

Hey man. Great videos! What jetting did you ultimately end up with? And at what elevation? I just threw a nibbi on my Loncin and haven’t gotten it quite right yet!

[@ramiretz]

best upgrade i experienced on a friends CG250 clone engine like the Hawk one is : remove 1 of the 3 layers from the metal head-gasket, port the in and outlet and put a orig mikuni TM33-12 Flatslide Carb on it........ difference is like day and night and the cheapest way to get more power

[@factdesignbr]

Btw... Get an adjustable rear shock. U will love it

[@jamest.5001]

I figured the carb would be larger, I have a 24mm carb ona 88cc scooter engine, it's a bit crazy tuning, because it's originally for 125-150 engines, but it's not stock, it has a large valve head ported about as far as it can go without welding or epoxy, I do thavetge intake as as far as it can possibly go, it looked like Swiss cheese then fixed with epoxy, I also have a 150 aftermarket intake I'm going to try, it's about the same internally as the stock mod intake, but with the cam exhaust and carb, it will do about 60-65 on a very slight down hill, the only way I can tell it's down hill us it's slower going the other direction! It looks flat! I have looked at nibbi carbs because I'm looking to do a slide carb conversion, a 26mm is about as far as I'd want to go, 24mm is plenty large, although small for a 150with any mods, around 26-30 with a big bore cam exhaust, a 30 works from 171- 232cc, I figure I'm over 6hp not bad for a 4t that started out as a 49cc, I'm planning on getting a stroker crank, that will get it to 95-96cc and hopefully gain a HP or 3, and a decent gain in TQ, the head should flow plenty enough to turn 11k even at 95+cc, The good thing about these Chinese scooter and bikes, they are cheap, and some are clones of Honda engines, and yeah I have about been a hood ornament like that myself, they don't see bikes, especially scooters, they don't expect them to be fast! I can pass cars alot of the time at stoplights, if I'm moving and they are just getting the green, it runs the best from about 5-30 mph, and does 35-45 easily, it's hard to keep it at the legal speed! To start with me on it it was about 25 mph full on! Now flats, it will easily do 40-45, 55at full throttle (after about a mile) but hey it's a 50cc scooter, it's not going to be that fast, I don't want to go much over 55, on the small 10" rims, i want to get a hawk, maybe swap a 250 ninja engine, maybe something a bit larger, a 600 ninja engine is kinda small!! Maybe ??? Ha-ha wouldn't that be cool!!

[@christopherblair3667]

You will have to put a bigger cam in the engine to get a better top end.

[@godlovessoldiers]

What jetting numbers did you go with ? And will they be good with the factory engine ?

[@hunttomuchwolfe]

I have a dr200se and have run it for years but I'm tired of the stock carb and want to move to something else what do you think for it to get a little more out of it

[@daveheimes241]

Going in the right direction! I would recommend exhaust ,port and deck the head and re-jet the carburetor.

[@Uriel-Septim.]

I would recommend using the money and energy buying a bigger bike.

[@daveheimes241]

@@Uriel-Septim. No fun in that. Anybody can just go out and buy a bike. I have several motorcycles and I have wrenched on all of them and made them my own. That's the creative fun of it.

[@Uriel-Septim.]

@@daveheimes241 Yea I have been there too, and maybe it is because of my job (building machines in stainless steel for the medical and textile industries) that made me less interested in doing that in my free time beside getting older, now my top priority is to ride them and enjoy that rather then getting my hands dirty and don`t get me wrong, I still do so on my bikes, but what I meant, is that it often is`t worth using a lot of money trying to make an existing bike faster, better way is to sell it and buy a bigger one, sure an air filter (when you have to replace it anyway) and maybe even an exhaust, I can partly understand, tho it might not be ideal for your engine (can actually break it or make it worse) but to install a hole new engine to gain, what ? next to nothing the bike still run around 60 right ?

[@nakoawarrior3186]

You know your velocity stack air filters,.....well they also make one for your crank case breather.

[@CARLPHILLY]

I ordered the new Nibbi carburetor for my bike, my bike has almost 6000 miles on it and I ran the stock carburetor without touching it, but now it’s giving me problems so I’m ordering the new Nibbi. But honestly, I’ve got 65 miles an hour out of mine with the regular carburetor on it.

[@richardtschida2321]

That Nibbi carb always caught my eye it's a good looking unit. Do you think a pumper type carb would make a difference? Sixth gear is a great option. Good job👍

[@CARPHUNTER62]

have you tried to use small canister filter on crank hose and remove stock air box?

[@sbartasek]

If you would like a ported head, send me a stock one. Put bigger valves in it first if you want. My Lifan has a TBR-7 motor with a cam from Portugal, ported head, deleted base gasket, single layer head gasket, opened up exhaust, and stock carb. Very similar performance, maybe slightly more. I really wish I had that 6th gear though! Mine screams at me if I don't give it premium gas.

[@wa2n721]

Wassup u think the 125 an 35 jet set up will be ok with the stock engine an exhaust for now?

[@juggernautherculesgarcia6076]

I tried it with the filter and the way I have my carb set up any filter suffocates it so I made a ram air intake with a turbo inside

[@Yaabalhassan1214]

Just hooked up the nibbi and engine won’t start. Started with the stock carb any ideas? I double checked every connection

[@RZ-eu2rl]

I'd like to see your old engine go into a Lifan kp150 mini.

[@jimmyrigged1292]

Great videos buddy !! I have a stock 2020 hawk 250 and will be installed the nibbi carb . Do u think I should run the carb straight out of the box like it is or change the jets out..if so what size should I go with ? Any info will be super appreciated .. cuz I've never done a carb swap b4...thanks and happy china riding !!!

[@alexchristian5399]

I wouldn’t run it with the stock jets. I’d buy the jet kit. Flat slide carbs are slightly different and need larger size jets then the old style rounded (like the VM26 clones). So Stock I’d try that 32 idle jet and the 120 main jet (depending on your distance from sea level) I am also having the problem of what mount will fit with the stock motor. I don’t really wanna grind down the frame like all of the reviews on the Amazon listing for this carb say you have too. Edit: I now realize this is not a PWK clone but a PE so it is not a flat slide. I would still look into jetting it

[@jimmyrigged1292]

@@alexchristian5399 I didnt have to grind the frame at all. Idk who's saying that but as long as u get the right intake manifold it mounts up . The rubber on the cone filter touches the frame just a little bit but it's no concern ..I posted a video after it was installed and tuned and my hawk loves the nibbi ...its not to hard of an install...tuning is pain in the but but I got it right finally ...its running so good now ..I recommend it for the hawk 100 percent...ride on bro !!

If you do a big bore kit you should be all set

You are correct about turning a dirt bike into an ADV. Grab a used GS and you can go cross country. Everyone needs a few bikes! Haha.

I installed but my bike is idling at 600rpms? Any thoughts 🤔🤔🤔

[@JoshSmith-gz1lk]

What did you do with the vacuum line that was on the original intake do you hook it into the Nibbi carburetor?

[@nassiratti8542]

The vacuum line can either be used on the nibbi carburetor or you can cut it off and close the hole to the airbox. Your choice.

[@roadgaper2570]

Hey man. Sorry if this has been asked before. so I removed the stock carb on my TBR7 and I already have the PE30. I don't know if it's the same as the hawk but..What do I do with the choke cable (that ran from the left handle bar down to the stock carb? Is it okay to remove it or am I mistaken ? haven't taken a close look at it but I was just under the impression the choke on the Nibbi was only adjustable on the actual PE30 Non the less I think it's a smart design to have the choke adjustable from the left grip/handle

[@roadgaper2570]

And also how do you get that badass MPH you have on your sceen like that? 17:26

[@becomingamotovlogermrgonza2300]

Sounds good but I believe it could hit 72🤷🏻‍♂️ nice vid . I run a vm 32 with a knock off kuni 115 main an the clamp needle in the middle on a 125 grom clone. it’s running pretty good with some bog but I didn’t change the exhaust yet so I’ll do that then maybe go up in size on the jet if it bogs . I’m new to this so I’m learning but I did get my grom up to 63 mph lol . I love my little 125s but I did order the hawk EFI so been watching many many videos lol trying to start a little channel but it’s hard when your still learning how to do the work .I’m getting good tho! I’ll sub an give you a like bro . Keep coming with content an I’ll try to do the same. I’ll definitely watch the vids you put out tho 👍.

Hello! In Japan, there was little information on PE30, which was a very nice video for me, and it was very helpful. I also got PE30 and installed on My Kawasaki KL250G. The revs up between the low and medium speeds is poor and I am struggling. Could you tell me the setting of the pilot jet and main jet numbers?

[@meowkchannel]

Try 115 MAIN, 38 PILOT

[@rexfreelom4300]

8 inch shock with coil over so I would cut the spring coil. And the also have 9 in. And a 10 in. Mono shock exactly fit to the Hawk Carburator Hongda type I while DHI bike is type II and pro like yours is type III but six speed is not on Hawk's back of cylinder Hongda
