What about insurance? I've had issues in the past with a KTM because the insurance company couldn't find it in their database. Actually had to switch to another company. Any issues there?

Those tires are dot85 approved. also I have 1002 miles on my hawk and the tires still look new.. if I rode my motocross bike on the road "yz250" the tires would be dead in a short few hundred miles.. they are a different compound, The tires on the hawk are 90/10 dot approved tires. mine passed the NY inspection with no issues. That said I'll lilely replace them with a 80/20 or more road use tire when they do die. In NYS it seems all they care about is the designation on the MCO, Mine was designated as Motorcycle, and they didnt ask a single question.. other's with a designation of Dirt Bike have not had much luck. |

Has anyone done a thread or video with set up procedures with torque specs? Or is this info in the manual. Like triple tree clamp bolts, axel nuts, shock bolt / nut, etc. etc. I see vids on youtube of guys just wrenching them down and I cringe at the thought. I've restored and brought back to life many old jap bikes and there is a proper torque spec on this stuff. Just curious, and please don't take this as me dogging anyone, just my .02. When I get my bike in the crate I want to do it right the first time, I will be in no hurry. Thanks again.

Problem with China bikes

Maybe when they assemble the bikes in China they just use the "shade tree mechanic" specs, "tighten until it feels "right" or breaks"! |

Well there ya go Merlin, you COULD be the first to post up such specs. I guess I'll do the same when the time comes. Just google the torque for the size bolt. Unlessen you're gonna post up that there list of yers.

A Senior moment just happened to me. Or a momentary mental abberation over my beloved Cubs winning the World Series. I found those specs somewhere, wrote them down, and now can't find them.

Could be a lot of help for folks if people would post this kind of info in one place where we all could find it.

Hey Merlin, guess what. I found the scrap of paper that I wrote the torque figures on. Unfortunetley it is in Newton Meters. Whoa, I just found the translator. So here goes. These are for the Hawk.
Front X 46-47 ft/lbs Swing Arm 64.9 ft/lbs Monoshock 32.5 top and bottom Front and Top Engine Mounts, and multi bolt engine mounts 25.8 ft/lbs Bottom and rear engine mounts 44.25 ft/lbs Front brake Caliper 22.1 ft/lbs |

Anyone seen these that APSCUSA has. http://www.apscusa.com/New-2015-Stal...uro_p_627.html
It kinda looks like a Brozz, has the luggage rack I like, no pics of the instrument cluster and I don't know if its a counterbalanced engine, pushrod, or OHV. |
