I also noticed my carb is mounted on a rubber boot, on studs, not directly to the engine on bolts as I think I see in motocheezes stuff. I'm curious if they made a few alterations.

2017 hawk 250 not 229cc?

So my father and I both have Hawks... They both say 239cc on the MCO. Was someone drunk while typing up both, did they increase the bore, or am I just stupid and it's been 229cc all along?

Hawk aftermarket cluster worth it?

Is the aftermarket cluster really worth it? I can hear rpms well so the tach is nice but not required. I mainly am tired of the stock spedo. Is there any way to make the stock one more accurate?
