Thumper, I do think the previous owner did a valve adjustment as he was pretty meticulous about things and did the other things that need done to these kind of bikes. When I picked it up, it was clean with a fresh oil change and a brand new set of Kenda k-760's. He left the upgraded chain on the bike, but put the original sprockets on and gave me all the spare parts. He recognized what the Hawk was good for, but wanted more speed and power.
I'm 5'8", 155lbs. I took all the preload out of the shock so I can put half of each foot flat on the ground. It was only tippy toes when I got it.
