Hawk Fuel Filter

I went to ride my Hawk this morning to find ants all over the place. Over night they had decided to live in the backpack I keep strapped to the back seat. I looked in the tank and didn't see...

Are you planning to go with less aggressive tires? I've wondered for awhile if some Shinko 705s combined with carb and exhaust would finally give 65mph cruising ability on flat land.

Suzuki C50T

I have the opportunity to get a 2005 Suzuki C50T and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with them. After searching for awhile it seems that they might have weak cam chains that need to...

I read early on that leaving the blue protective plastic keeps the key cover from buzzing. I can report that has worked for me. :) So I have a blue but silent gas cap.

I set valves on the wrong stroke and all I had was a terrible racket due to the incredibly loose valve lash. I wonder if the tank is dirty and getting trash in the fuel line or the petcock?

How do you strap it on and get the side panels on? For some reason to get my pad tight enough to stay the latches are too low and I can't get my side panels on.

Do you keep the pad loose?

I took mine off but I wish I'd just taped it up. It was just way too loud, especially for a long light. It has made me get back into the habit of checking the light and double checking that the...

Tried the 15/45 today and RPM's at 60 aren't something I'm comfortable with for any sort of distance. Went back to 17/45. I think 16/45 might be the sweet spot for me.

Map says I'm 471 ft above sea level. I removed the endcap but didn't really notice a difference. I've seen some images of the inside of some exhausts and they looked horribly restrictive, maybe...

I am pretty much sea level Oklahoma. With 17/45 I can get to 60 easily and can even climb a moderate hill at 60, but it just has nothing left above 6000 rpm's. Maybe my exhaust has some bad welds...

I'd been running 17/45 for awhile but changed to 15/45 this afternoon. Once I can give it a whirl I'll report my findings.
