CCT's / Reg/Rect. You can search them both. Other than that just normal bike stuff, tires, chain, etc.

Hey Dave, welcome to the club! If you enjoy reading about other's experiences with the hawk, you can certainly benefit immensely from the huge experience base on this forum and save yourself from doing a lot of stupid ****. When buying any used bike, it is wise to assume nothing, do alot of checking around to make sure everything is tight and right, no play in the steering, chain adjusted right, wheels/tires, smooth engine, plugs burning correctly, adjust clip-ons, hand and foot controls, etc. Happy trails>

Dave here's one reason to read these forums



recommendation!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is any of you that have not replaced your cct's yet I highly recommend it!!!!!!!!! Mine broke last week, the piston hit the valve and bent it. To make a long story short $1100........**** MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE maybe a whole rebuild if there is metal shavings in the cylinder.
