Hawk 250 desert Ride 67 miles long
Hello to all, after making the carb and sprocket mods. It was time to take the Hawk out! The Hawk performed without one glitch and got me out and back! The throttle and power band is good. I was surprised even the low end has pretty good torque still. The day got late and I wanted to ride more in the desert. Wanted to hit the wash but didn't. That's another day. Found other riders out doing there thing. Some were out shooting weapons as well. The Hawk cruised 55 with no problem. Its nice and smooth rolling. Got dark on the way back. Lighting was just right. No mods yet. The video is 41 min long and not of the whole ride. My battery powered video sunglasses can't video that long. They were very cheap on Ebay.

Gas mileage on the Hawk 250
Went riding sat. Filled the tank. Went 72 miles of mixed street and dirt. Refilled the tank. Given tank capacity less reserve. I could go 260 miles before going on reserve. Another 40 on reserve. Went 72 miles and frilled the tank of .825 gal for 2.56 cents. I'd say I beat a Prius on mileage. Maybe not the Volt though lol. The mods were the Mikuni carb with 110 jet, 17-45 sprockets. Exhaust not changed.

Is this Arizona? If so, where? If not, where? I know it is not Yuma.

You should definitely go with a digital cluster--the mechanical ones do not last.
