Hawk 250 front wheel assembly
Hi guys. Just got my hawk 250, as you know it did not come with assembly instructions. (Are there any real instructions?) , the front wheel assembly has the silver bushing but when i try to align it inside the forks it seems to be pushing the forks apart too much and keeps the tire from being alligned,
What is the sequence?, main bolt, fork, bushing , speedo assembly, wheel , fork, nut? Any help would be great plugging along on assembly.. Sorry for noob question Thx!! |
No problem man!
It should go nut,fork,bushing,wheel,speedo,fork,bolt Also, the bushing will fit into the left side of the wheel. From the perspective of sitting on the bike, if your standing in front of the bike, reverse the order. Hope that helps! |

I picked up this assortment of nuts and bolts, works great when something random goes missing! http://www.harborfreight.com/725-pie...ray-67624.html They work great for non-critical uses, such as fairings, exhaust shields, and mounting your speedo. ;) |

Welcome! Blue Loctite is always a good idea. As well, if you have sufficient thread sticking out beyond the nut, you can drill a small hole through the axle for a cotter pin. it won't be captured like with a castle nut, but it'll stop the nut from falling off. |
Get some of these instead of the regular cotter pins... these are Re-Usable and easy to install/remove each time too :lol:
https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=...pid%3D15.1&f=1 Check your local Home Depot and see if they have them... search for "Ring Cotter" and make sure you look at your local stores for availability ;) http://www.homedepot.com/b/N-5yc1v/N...estoreoption=1 |
never used that kind of cotter ring.
this is the kind I've used http://images1.mcmaster.com/mvB/cont...ver=1339500373 the bowtie cotter pins work well too http://images1.mcmaster.com/mvB/cont...ver=1333364492 McMaster carr referse to those as locking cotter pins http://images2.mcmaster.com/mvB/cont...ver=1368005443 http://www.mcmaster.com/#=12rllxs |

Hawk 250 rear wheel torque
Hello, when I replaced the rear sprocket, I read that the rear axle bolt spec of 65ft-lbs of torque. Has anyone torqued to that. It seems like when I tighten the rear it's just not going to snug up to that. I have everything in place. I just don't want to crunch the rear tubes if not necessary.
