Hence my idea to hit it with a little bit of sand paper and take it back just a little bit.

It depends on what batch of Hawks you got. I think Tim's and mine came out the same batch and we both ended up with decent chains from the factory. old kids had the sprocket keeper slot milled in a different location and had to mount the keeper on the inside to clear the engine housing. The last batch that yours came from has the issue with the rear sprocket bolts. I guess they are not consistent on manufacturing these bikes.
