RPS Hawk DLX 250 Setup and Review Video (Uses Official DVD Setup Footage from RPS)

[@wlsonoma]

Thank you for this. Definitely the best one I have watched. I feel very confident that I am ready for when the bike shows up.

[@nicein2000]

Thanks, it was fun to assemble and a great feeling to take it for that first ride after doing so too

[@MaynardFreek]

did you have an extra connection where everything plugs into the wiring harness behind the head light? I can't find anything that could possibly connect to it

[@nicein2000]

Yes, I’m pretty sure I remember an extra connection that went unused. But I think it’s for a diagnostic reader connection

[@lucid_galaxy_9799]

Great voice over compared to the original haha but seriously good job sir. Where does the tube at 14:30 connect to?

[@nicein2000]

That’s the battery breather tube. One end connects to a nipple on the battery and the other end hangs free and does not attach to anything. It lets any buildup of gas escape.

[@lucid_galaxy_9799]

@@nicein2000 Omg 🤦 Thank you!! I was losing my mind when it said "Install a plastic tube of gas tank," thinking it was supposed to come off the fuel tank somehow. I upgraded instantly to a sealed AGM battery so I don't even have to worry about that hahaha thanks again!

[@lucid_galaxy_9799]

@@kingtruckerea7651 I went with a ETX7S powersports battery from O'Reilly's, but then took the bracket out and put in a ETX14L. The 7 only has 100 cca so I decided to upgrade to the 14 which has 220 cca.

is there a book that tells you valve lash, plug type, plug gap, fluids, capacitys, etc?

[@spturner360]

Very helpful 🙂👍 looks like the DVD was made in China as well.

[@nicein2000]

Thanks, it definitely does look like the video was shot in China!

good job man and thank you

[@ToddClemmer]

Anyone have suggested tourqe numbers for these bolts?

[@smartacus88]

The German metric of "Guttentight" works sufficiently (Good and Tight) 😂

This is a very cool video. Thank you.

Thanks man

Where were your keys located

[@nicein2000]

When the bike arrived in a crate? They were in a plastic bag with the manual and other papers.

[@zachbarnett1802]

@@nicein2000 ok thank you I definitely didn't get any keys with mine and the company won't help me out that is why I asked

[@nicein2000]

@@zachbarnett1802 Wow, that's crazy. I don't have the bike anymore but I recall one key was a nice one with thick plastic and the other was a really plain all-metal key

Thank you

[@smartacus88]

While this assembly is kind of tedious, remember, you pay a stealership about $1,000 to do this assembly for you with a Japanese bike.
