I swear, Amazon has to have sold MILLIONS of these around the world by now. EDIT : Everyone knows the Chinese bikes are cheap, let's face it, but you guys LOVE them. I am 53 and I see Amazon bikes as a whole new generation of Harley Davidson ; You HAVE to wrench on it, and each time the relationship between you and your iron horse grows stronger. That's what I see.

Truly the Hi-Point of motorcycles.

I did a quasi supermoto upgrade by purchasing an amazon 19” front rim with Shinko 705s tires. Bolted right on with no other mods. Great job on your conversion.

Truly one of the best hawk 250 content creators. Haven’t uploaded for a while, I hope you don’t quit. Love binge watching

This was sooo gratifying to watch! Overcoming those obstacles are elevating!! Nicely done!

Sweet, the Super duper Hawk.

i'll tack this onto the list of mods beyond my scope, but still was great to watch. i felt that "laying in yard" frustration lol

When we put a 08 ninja 250 motor in my buddies TBR-7 we changed the bearings to fit the hawks axle size. No serious modifications for the 08 ninja wheels. More modifications needed to be made to fit the ninja 250 brakes. Wish we would have had the XR250R suspension and swing arm that’s on it now when we did the motor and sumo tires. Had to switch bearings again when we upgraded the suspension. Nice build brother. Edit: the 17s and street tires do make a huge difference. My recommendation is do the XR shock forks and swingarm mod. Even bigger difference than the sumo tires

That bracket was the best. Great job😂😂

Been following along for a bit and love watching your progress with the editing and content overall

Love this build! Its giving off DRZ Sumo vibes.

That was fun. Your work paid nicely. Looks badass. That rear axle mod would be good for any hawk rider.

Wow awesome am doing the same on my haojin warrior thats a hawk down here in Africa good job ma man.

Great job man, looking like carb is the way to go, would love to see a speed test with the new wheels

Like the work you did and now you definitely have a much higher quality set of wheels than oem. That being said though for the trouble, you could have gone with bigger tires and a beefier bearing from Niko or another high quality bearing distributor and saved a lot of money and time. I guess now though you wont ever have to worry about spokes which will definitely be nice.

Can't wait for an update video to this. Nice job she looking good

Dude, you did the most excellent job imaginable considering you have basic tools to work with. You didn't get sloppy on anything. It's all too easy to drill a hole out too wide. Your tolerances would be Jet Propulsion Labratory acceptable. As you can guess, I am all too familiar with Chinese engineering. Right now it is the Japanese that have the quality control as an art. The Chinese make it, slap it together and put it on the sales floor. It's all just a bit rushed. California Scooter Company actually runs through their deliveries and makes sure some form of quality control has been applied. That is the strong point of their company. You have done a marvelous job of working on this bike. It is sad to say all this has to be done to get the unit to a level of acceptability to ride it but you did a sensational job. The Bauer tools are good. I use them. They are affordable quality. I actually bought a generic angle grinder at Harbor Freight for $10. I got two and they are gotta haves. Thanks for the video.

I HIGHLY reccomend taking your front brake bracket to a machiine shop to have them clone it to a single part. There should not be that many bolts holding the caliper to the fork. Also, I'd double check the sprocket alignment just to make sure you don't need a spacer or have the rear of the counter shaft turned to align it. If just enough slack gets into the chain it WILL derail and make for a bad day. Other than that, this was an awesome mod that is shockingly easy to do!

CSC is a CA China bike store that sells supermoto wheels that fit the TT250 witch is a HAWK with CA smog stuff, 16" SG250 wheels would save you a lot of work if someone wants to do this with out brake mods and grinding metal😉 love the big bore vid🙂

This was just glorious watching 😂 just purchased a hawk myself

bikes come a long way taco keep up the good work

nice video bro

Awesome build and awesome execution 🤌

Hahhahahah he said bizzarly smooth!??.. yea it's the tires.. welcome to the sport side my friend

Pretty sweet mod for a hawk or tbr7

Sick build!!!!!!I really want to do this mod. I wish i could find the bearing part numbers to run the stock axle tho.

This was do gratifying to watch! Overcoming those obstacles are elevating!! Nicely done!

Hard to show just how much time and $$ goes into all that 😂 I replaced the ninja bearings with bearings that fit the stock axles. Saved me some trouble and money down the road lol. Love the video, man 👍

Dude you’ve convinced me I need one of these 😮

This was awesome. Super entertaining and relatable. Great work man!

Well done man. Really nice explanation as well

Ever think about making some more of them brackets and sell them for those who’d like to do this mod? Cause I would definitely buy wouldn’t mind doing this mod to my hawk 250 well if you do let me know definitely have my attention. God bless great mod and beautiful bike by the way

i love your content so much bro

Love it! I'm curious how this mod affected the top speed? I would say that is one of the biggest weaknesses of these Chinese bikes. It's like they can reach 70 on a good day as long as you're not going up hill or it's not super windy. If they were just slightly more capable for the freeway it would be enough that there wouldn't be anything to complain about.

You don’t have motorcycle state inspections by you, do you? 😂

I would take that spacer plate you made for the front brake out, and just fabricate a duplicate of the original bracket you fabricated, and use that for extra thickness throughout the bracket.

I think your front tire is mounted backwards but maybe I’m wrong. Thanks for the vid great job!

U should get custom orange decals to match the tires

Good build..

You should use locktight for your bolts to keep them on instead of wire thats what all the mechanics use theres different types of locktighr tho gota get the right kind

need more vids on her man! im about to get my tbr 7 and i want to do the same upgrades eventually

Considering doing this project to my own Hawk, but I’m wondering did you get any kind of top speed gains? Would you feel comfortable riding it on the Highway?

What a great video… I love your storytelling! #Goals

Thanks for posting this

More speed on highways if u need to change your clutch gear 68T, pinnion gear 22T, oil gear 37T. Try to fit.

We could make a drinking game with this video.... every time he says "NINJA 300" you can take a shot and you'd be passed out before the video's over

Been waiting for a new video. Why haven't you posted for awhile? Hopefully your next video will be the results of the built top end to go with your current bbk.🇯🇲✊🏾

What Website would you recommend I use to find parts? What tools would you recommend? Just got mine yesterday and I'm waiting on it. I'm excited.

Please upload more videos on the hawk

Fun mod but I spend 99% of my time on the hawk in the dirt, rock and sand of the Nevada desert. If nothing else I hope to be doing a big bore kit for my next big mod 😎👍

I did this swap but front wheel bearings have a little too much pressure on them I hear weird noise after 10 minute rides . Parked and trying to figure out how I can not squeeze the bearings

I sold my hawk and bought a honda rebel. I wished this was available sooner lol

I like it! alot!

🔥🔥🔥😎

What pod filter are you using? I put a nibbi 30mm on mine but I am having an issue with it choking out if I get into the rain. I've had to take the filter off just to make it home a couple of times.

Next mod... Screen in the porch to keep the horde of bugs at bay.

Did your big bore kit work out? Or did you end up doing an entire engine swap?

love it G. hey man i see your DLX in the backround. any plans on modding it? im waiting on mine. just havnt seen to many modded DLXs yet.

Can you put bigger forks on it without shaving or milling anything on the bike?🤔🤔

where the hell did u go, need to see some more Hawk videos!

so cool !

Very nice

Hey @mototaco and community. Simple question. What gauge wire and materiel do I need to make a quick jump connection on the wiring harness to hit wire it. Do you know what blade connection i need to buy

What size rims and tires at those and was the modifications specifically to fit those specific wheels and tires?

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Hi hope your OK iv been watching your channel for some time and it's been few months since your last up load Anyway sometime ago you put a oil cooler on your hawk 250cc I just wondered were did you get the brackets from to mount the oil radiator to the frame or if anyone can tell me i would be extremely grateful 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊THANK YOU 😊😊😊😊

would you consider doing this same thing for my 2020 hawk dlx? if so how much would you charge for labor and parts included

Man your vids are awesome, I have a chinese bike with the same engine, just 200cc instead of 250cc (well yours is 300cc converted, awesome vid). Do you know where did they copy this engine? is it honda? what model exactly? thanks and keep postings awesome bike content!

I have a 2012 ninja for parts. I think I know my next mod

I want to put a 250 rebel engine on mine.. I’ve done went through 2 engines.. I love the way they sit.. it’s not really a hawk any more just the serial number.. lol

Nice.

I enjoyed video and commend your resourcefùlness

Yeah it's cool and all but what is the actual top with the Big boar kit??

What size are the front & rear tire sizes exactly if you don’t mind me asking?

I'm doing the same with my titan xpro but 1994 ninja 250 wheels (free) got the back wheel done but struggling on the front

Hey, how were you able to title and register your hawk in NJ. I just bought one after watching your videos and I live in NJ too.

Yesss, Do a top speed now!

does the klx230sm have the correct size axles/ tires for a direct swap?

Brooo can you do more videos about this bike pleaseeee

I have street motorcycle 2022 Hawk 250. The smallest rear sprocket is made for highway. The big rear sprocket is made for dirt motocross Hawk bike. I want to buy a pair roller chain tensioner and I can belt sanding it myself. Where can I can get them the TENSIONE for it fit to the swingarm.

I was interested, until I saw him hamburger out the front forks. It's a 15mm axle. To do it properly, you dril with a 9/16, then use a 15mm reamer (15mm drill, if your careful). Once I saw that I was done, I'm sure it worked, but not on y bike.

Were you ever concerned about the fork failing due to expanding the hole to fit the new front axel? Thinking about it caused my feet to sweat.

Sumo mirrors

Just started building the first bastan storm 250 dual sport i haven’t seen no one do a dual sport I have a 300cc big bore on the way and so far I’m running a 16t sprocket up front and it also has a air box delete with a 34 mm pwk carb soon the head will be ported and polished

Great. Super Moto or Hawk Ninja?

Bro, im going to do the big bore kit on the 22 Venom sporter Chopper. hope it works

Remember when u met walterterffic

hey do you think if i showed a motorcycle mechanic this video would they be able to do all this for me and how much would it cost?

Hey idk if you'll respond or not, but my blinkers are not working at all. The bulb is good, connections are good, but when I try to get them to flash. I get no light. Could this be the relay? I watched videos with relay problems but their lights remained on with no flash. So I'm a little confused. Please help. Lol

Awesome. How do you like the big bore kit?

❤❤❤❤ nice

I did the same thing you did ninja wheels but for the front brake I used the original hawk brake dick and the caliper went on the original bracket no mods needed

Hey Man, I love your videos! I've been binge watching them since I found your channel. I've got a question for you. I am trying to figure out if the Hawk 250 has the same clone engine as the new TemplarX 250. I was about to buy a Hawk on Amazon, the main Amazon Terminal is here in my hometown...but saw that the new TemplarX is a 6 speed. I would love to buy one and do your Super Hawk upgrade package with the 300cc jug and piston conversion, Nibi carb and exhaust I've been pouring over the different jug and piston kits on Amazon, but not really sure if any of their kits are the correct one. In 2019 I was living in Thailand and bought a new KLX230. I loved the bike but it was kind of pricey at around $4000 USD. So when I came back to America a few weeks ago, I decided to look around for a less expensive alternative for a street and trail commuter bike. But I love to mod my rides, and really thought about buying a new KLX300SM...but, dayumm!...that pricetag. Besides, I really love to mod my rides! For the price point difference I could mod the shit out of a 250 TemplarX and still have cash for bike camping gear and a few bike trips. Can you help a brother out and take a look at the TemplarX engine? Does it look the same to you? The price is only like $400.00 difference and it's a 6 speed vs' a 5sp. Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work. I love your dedication! That best friend video is the best thing on YT.

Was there a big difference when you put the 300 kit?

Why did the caliper bracket move so much when brake applied?

Im thinking about the xpro templar x on Amazon, how was the process of getting it registered in Louisiana?

Donde conseguiste ese guarda lodo de alante

So that’s the 300 cc now ?

How much you charged to do it on my hawk dlx 250?

You ever think about putting that 18 in rim in the front of the dlx?

Updates?
