I Love my Super Hawk!!!

This bike is awesome minus the daily trips for fuel! I want to keep it for as long as possible so I figure I better do some maintenance to it while its to cold for me to ride.

My questions:

1 - how many miles to you all have on your Hawk?

2 - for general maintence do I need any special tools?

For getting the carb set up I am taking it to the dealer I am hoping I can do everything else myself.

I have 26K miles on my bike.

I also plan on mounting a phone mount and charger for my phone (GPS AND MUSIC) any suggestions?

 

Powerlet & Ram mount have you covered for the phone mount/charger.

Basic tools should get you by if carbs are too technical. I would say a torque wrench is a must if you don't already have one.

I'm not exactly sure of my mileage, it's always on trip!

 

1: 38,342 miles.. I bought it second hand in 2005 with under 3k

2: Special tools? depends on what you consider special and general maintenance ...

If your talking changing the oil or coolant, then no basic hand tools will do....If you want to sync the carbs, than a carb sync tool is needed.. Check the valves? feeler gauge required.. adjust the valves? High quality 1/4 tq wrench is recommended. Install new chain and sprockets.. going to need a master link press tool... The list goes on and on.. Better you tell us what "basic maintenance" tasks you want to undertake and folks can name off the "special" tools needed.

3: I use a water resistant USB port for power.. made for marine installation... it has two ports, both suitable for charging an iPad and the like, and cell phone, ect.
Everything I use or charge on the SH uses USB.. so I decided not to install a powerlet or other generic power port, only to need an adapter to charge USB items.

 

Consider posting what city you live in or near in case someone here could help you directly with local knowledge of dealers, tools, techniques, etc. Good luck with everything.
