ok. I am guilty of asking the "my hawk makes a sound" question myself. i thought i t would be good if we could have a member upload an MP3 of what a KNOWN GOOD ENGINE sounds like so a newbie can hear what to expect from a chain driven V-Twin as it sounds like very few motors out there. I know first hand that i heard some things that i thought were sounds of impending failure but turned out to be the normal running sounds of our unique engine. if anyone has a hawk that is in tip top shape record the rev range and post it up. i would do it personally but i am away on business until the end of the riding season.
