Put my new flyscreen on. Mainly I wanted it to protect the gauge cluster as they are exposed and a good sized rock could damage them. As a side bonus, it does actually provide a little wind...

The Hawk and all of the bikes like it are aerodynamically challenged. It's not just the fact that they have worse aerodynamics than a house, but that they have a lot of frontal area. A Vader 150 is...

Likely the battery has too much internal resistance. voltage will be normal, but the Amp output is down, which is why the starter isn't turning.

Easy way to rule out the battery would be to hook up a jumper pack. If you don't have one of those you can use jumper cables and connect to a car battery - just make sure the car is not running.

The CSC Unit's aren't any stronger really, but like with most parts on the CSC bikes, the quality is definitely a bit better. Great factory replacement/minor upgrade option.
