Anther stupid hawk design flaw

[weiser23]

2020 hawk deluxe ,,,, True it’s my fault for leaving the key on but that’s what I did, I tried to kickstart my bike, Now this is the 8th bike I owned since I was 12 and it’s true I’m a old man now but it’s not easy kicking this bike it’s not setup right or something, but anyways I broke the rear break light switch off ,
The location of this switch is ridiculous, the good news is eBay had the right switch for $ 6.50 and it fits perfectly

I just loooove how my heel rests on it.

I guess there's an alternative switch that replaces the banjo bolt off the master that is actuated by hydraulic pressure.

I hope it’s easier to kick than the Lifan. Mine’s so hard to kick, it might as well be a diesel. If my battery ever dies, I think I’ll try to push start it-lol.

Interesting.

I haven’t had any trouble kick starting the Lifan xpect.

Yes, it won’t budge if you’re on the compression stroke, but just after that, it starts first kick for me.

I simply got rid of the failure prone mechanical switch and installed one of these guys. https://www.amazon.com/Goodridge-Ban...63723266&psc=1
