Need information about the Hawk 250

Good morning everyone,

I am about to purchase a Hawk 250, but I have a few questions before I do. The first is, the break in stage. I've seen many mixed posts, some saying to use the oil that comes in the engine, some say swap it out right away, etc. I just want to know what exactly should I do? I'm sure the manual says something about it, but I'm also sure people disregarded what they said too. I know during the break in stage you keep your RPMs low, and lower speeds for I believe the first 500-1000 miles or so, but correct me if I'm wrong.

The second question is upgrades right away. Would a sprocket upgrade be something i should do while i put everything together after i have the bike delivered?

Next, would be the carb. I see people upgrading the carb saying that its essential, but should I do that before i even start the bike? And if so, or if not, what carb should i get? Theres nibbi and mikuni carbs and it seems that everyone has mixed emotions on them, and didn't really know the pros and cons of them.

Lastly is the digital speedometer. Not sure the pros and cons of this, but I saw it on amazon for a reasonable price.

My commutes I plan on making with the bike may be pretty long, ranging from 100-300 miles per week (give or take on weather). I have a car, but it does guzzle gas quite a bit and I want to combat against that in the warmer months by getting a bike. I plan on getting my motorcycle license in the next few months, but I want to get the bike delivered sooner so i can get it to where i want it for the summer, along with getting used to it.

Please let me know anything i should know. I really appreciate any help i could get on this. Sorry I asked so many questions
