Fairly good video Adam. If someone hasn't put together a scooter or motorcycle before should be very helpful. Thank you for the upload.

what bothers me is they lube nothing :( speedo hub/cable, clutch cable / brake lever, rearshock pivot/ swingarm bolts/axle bearings and real fork oil make a big diff in the feel of the bike and components, and hopefully adds a bunch of longevity to them as well.. i guess i should add the headset bearings too.:(

I can't agree more Seer. 8 years ago I bought my son a crate Hensim 110 4-wheeler. That thing came bone dry and the oil in the engine was refined from melted used tires I think...Regardless, after a summer of tweaking that machine it became damn near bulletproof and is still running strong today for its 3rd owner and God only knows how many hours of smiles.

Good find on the video. I got my hawk yesterday and after finishing assembly I had an extra spring, no more now. Thanks. I think I could have assembled it faster if I would have had those gloves.

Thanks Adam...Video will really help on the assembly and prep. This forum is so loaded with ideas, pics, and helpful members... A complete assembly checklist would be helpful as well.
Ride safe...

This video, along with the caveats for proper lubrication, loctite, et cetera, is an excellent resource for Hawk owners. Thanks for sharing the good information, Adam.

someone elsewhere commented that when they install the front wheel axle in the video they put it in backwards, it should be installed from right to left

Right foot to left foot as seated for right to left standing in front of it ?

As the wheel turns, you want the motion to loosen the bolt, which you can retighten - if you do it the other way, the bolt will tighten and potentially snap

I noticed that, also. When standing in front of the bike, the front axle should be installed from the left, with the nut tightened on the right.
