Well I bought my hawk second hand and the previous owner did not care for her. So most of my thread "Jet321's Hawk 250" was getting it back to a reliable state. So as I've combed over the bike I've noticed things, the pads are pretty worn, I looked at them again and there's about 30-40% left.

I haven't taken the calipers apart, but I will in about a month or so when it gets cold and I can't ride. I'll keep you guys updated, you'll know when I know!

perhaps you can find the pad starting on page 217 of the EBC catalogue. http://ebcbrakes.com/Assets/ecatalog...016.html#p=218

How many 32nd do you have left? Most motorcycle pads are only 4/32 new.

This parts problem of yours has been roaming around in my brain until someone on here mentioned how nice the people were at APSC. So I found their phone number and checked - yes they have brake pads and a lot of other parts for Hawks. Telephone # is 731 632 3222. They are located in Adamsville, Tennessee.

Thank you. I am on the fence about buying a Hawk and wear parts were a concern of mine.

Also, many Hondoid parts are readily available on Amazon and EBay. Just type in something generic like "Chinese dirt bike brake parts" and a bunch of stuff comes up.

If you had a dollar for every time your computer screws up, pretty soon you'd have enough to get a new computer.
