Yep, the brake lines are doing fine. No signs of breaking down. I can squeeze or push down with all my might and they don't fade at all

Bump.

For the people who dis EFI, there's a reason that there are millions of vehicles on the road with EFI. They run like a charm and when they don't, you're generally not left crying on the side...

The DLX model has many improvements over the "normal" Hawk 250 and IMO you can't beat it for the money. Many of the upgrades that people make on their not DLX models are already done. Like a...

Apologies for the late response. Yes, what I referred to as the "boss" is the tab or ear on the frame that the mounting bolt goes through.

Turning the screw clockwise raises the beam. Counter-clockwise lowers it.

With both my 2015 Hawk and 2021 Hawk DLX the headlights still pointed too high even when I backed the screws all of the...

Buying an X-ring or O-ring chain for off road riding is a waste of money. Dirt chews up the rubber rings. Then it gets into the grease that the factory injected into the bushings. The the bushings...

As Spun_Zombie suggests, leave things stock until after break-in. Even after break-in do NOT monkey with the exhaust on a DLX. Anyone suggesting that you replace or modify it is spreading...

The majority of online Hawk photos show a 2x4 chunk underneath the side stand for this exact reason (side stand is too short). On my 2015 Hawk I leaned the bike up against a tree and put it in 1st...

Did you contact the seller that you bought your bike from regarding the problems? I don't know what is covered, but but my DLX is supposed to come with a 90 day warranty.

Doh! 2017 Hawk DLX (doesn't exist)

Thanks go out to Stewbrash, Bruces, and Nine0093 for providing clarity on this sub-topic. Per Nine0093's post, I do indeed have a 2021 bike as the fork guards are white and the MIL isn't obvious...
