I don’t have one, but I did replace them with the heavy duty ones a few years ago. Sometimes those factory ones get pinched or they leak around the valve stem. You can get a pair on Amazon for $20. You should also replace the liner around the rim.

I am impressed by your restraint. You haven't gone nuts with upgrades, which to be honest, is actually pretty cool. This way you are getting the most out of the bike and then upgrading. Those Zanella digital speedometers on Amazon are great...easy to install..but mine started acting weird at 2700 miles. a little copper thing is bouncing around in the tachometer, so far so good, but when it gets caught in the needle it causes and issue. Multiple people told me not to worry about it, but I paid 70 bucks for this guage and an hour of installation and it lasted half as long as my stock one (well this one is not technically dead yet, but I know it will be).

I bought one from amazon for my rear. i lost a spoke on the stock one from shitty WV roads and i jumped it. anyway. i filled the whole with JB weld and kept riding until another spoke came out. Ended up getting an x-pro replacement but beware, they are not always true from the factory and also...might need balanced. I am about to have mine balanced and then try to see if they need trued.

I had a Hawk 250 with 8k miles in one year and sold it for what I paid for it. Bought a Orion rxb 250 efi and put 6k miles in a year and sold it for 200 less than what I paid for it. I now have a GPX FSE 300r with 1k miles and I would highly recommend there bikes. I was always wrenching the hawk 250. Orion I had bad customer service experience and the bike had issues. But the GPX is a forever bike for me with the quality. You get what you pay for.

I had an offer for the price I paid last year, but turned it down. I now have it listed a bit higher because everyone wants to negotiate a lower price. I still like it too much to sell, but want to try something different.
@xt250rides8
@xt250rides8 2 месяца назад
I would remove the carb, take it apart and clean it while you're there, and check if anything internal loosened up or got bent. Sounds almost like the float is getting hung up or something after the drop. If it is float-related, the engine could have ran normally for a short while until the float bowl emptied. Let us know how it goes!

@johnkoelliker8480
@johnkoelliker8480 2 месяца назад
definitely sounds fuel related. Take the carb apart and clean it with carb cleaner. You can find videos on how to do it. Add a fuel filter while you are down there. The alcohol in gasoline really messes the carb up. Good luck HW

Good to hear you're ok! I think everyone does that one time or another, then another.. Beware of the front brake when turning it can do the same thing. The advantage of having the large front tire is that it goes over stuff like that easier than like a supermoto wheel.

Take care of it but don’t agree with you on not replacing the carb that should be the first thing anybody should do to these bike if you on the road far away from home with that carb and can’t get in there to clean jet you are screwd you can’t get to the jet with basic tools that you carry with you on the road
