filled and charged battery ( trickle charged over night )
cleaned brake rotors and bled brakes.
checked tires and spokes
fired it up, let it idle and burn off oils and grime
adjusted idle ( carb seemed to be pretty good it is a pz30, but its got a different name on it... weirdness? )
adjusted clutch freeplay and lever ( not even close )

rode it around the neighborhood for about 25 minutes, hit some back dirt roads and trails, runs great!

Im sure she will run better once i swap to a mikuni and put an exhaust on and some such.

no regrets! now for papers to show up and begin the registration battle here in NC. Im in a really rural area and theres no emissions inspection here so, fingers crossed!

thanks to all you guys im a member of the china riders family!!!!
Do yourself a favor and take your rear wheel off and check your rear sprocket. Look for my post in the Videos/Pics on Hawk Rear Sprocket Failure. Since you have a new one that probably came from the same lot mine did off the assembly line, there is a good chance you may have the same thing going on I did.

Otherwise, glad you got it up and running!
