With the engine being out of tune, I would be concerned about the exhaust valve dropping it's head into the cylinder and wrecking the engine. That's another common thing I have seen around the internets. This stuff is why a lot of members completely rework their bikes before they even ride them. The manufacturers make them lean to get them here. The owners tune them to get the reliability and power back.

What he said ^^^^ I have over 4500 miles on my Hawk. Before tuning and broke in the engine ran rough. After tuning and some miles on it she runs smooth. Never had a bolt break so far.
