Thanks to all for the greetings. I did read some of the posts before my purchase. Still reading now while doing mods to my bike. I am not looking to making a race bike out of a RPS Hawk. I just need it to go 50-55 MPH with reliability. Some of the mods I have already done are :
Mikuni carb 110 main jet 26 pilot jet,

JT Sprockets 428 Steel Rear 40 tooth
Stock 15 front 50 Rear 3.33 to 1 Ratio
With 17 Front 45 Rear 2.76 to 1 Ratio
With 15 Front 40 Rear 2.67 to 1 Ratio ,
Header fiberglass wrap over exhaust pipe all the way to the muffler joint,
I changed the fork oil with PJ1 15 weight fork oil, 200mg each fork, there is a drain screw in the bottom of the Carrera style forks. They do not have to be removed to drain.

As per the YouTube video from Killer Motorsports, I performed 3 warmup cycles and then changed the oil. I actually changed the oil before I even cranked the motor, but today I changed it again. I bled the brake systems with DOT3 brake fluid.

I am planning to replace all lights with LEDs. I may replace the tires with Shinko 705 series tires, but that will be later.

I will have more later. Have a good day.
