Hawk 250 has difficulty rolling in neutral
So I feel like I might have screwed something up.
Today I was attempting to change out my sprockets, failed and ended up having to put in my original sprockets back in (tipped over my bike in the process and took off the tip of the brake lever :doh: ) When I put everything back together, I realized that my bike was really hard to push around in neutral and I would hear a clicking or ticking sound as well. Did I over tighten my axle nut? Any ideas would be appreciated for this utter newbie. |
Brake is being held on?? When you broke n bent front brake lever

Is your chain too tight?

The chain tension and alignment being incorrect will also cause binding which can then cause drag and make the bike hard to move. It may also be the source of the clicking sound you are hearing. |
Thank you guys for the suggestions!
I realized my chain was way too tight and that was the cause of the difficulty rolling. Unfortunately I have come across a new problem. The piece of metal connected to the rear brake caliper has cracked due to my use of excessive force in torquing the rear axle nut. The weird thing is that my front brake is also having issues now. I'm posting some pictures to give you guys an idea of what's going on. https://imgur.com/a/ZOraNhh |
You miss aligned the groove that stops it rotating - you’ll need a new bracket

I tend to be on the thrifty/cheap side when at all possible but my gut says to replace that bracket. If there’s one place to not cut corners it’s your brakes. No telling when (or how hard) you will need them.

Get a new one from the reseller who sold the bike. |

I would check with the dealer you bought it from. Also the bracket from the TT250 might be an alternative. https://store.cscmotorcycles.com/TT2...p/zt23-101.htm

That's unfortunate. I went to the dealer where I bought the bike and they told me they didn't have any of the brackets in stock so it looks like I'll need to buy the TT250 one that you've mentioned JerryHawk. Thanks for the suggestion!
