Just got my Hawk 250!

Hello everyone. I just got my red Hawk 250, and put it together. I was expecting it to need re-jeted from all the videos and other sources. I put gas in it, choked it and it started right up. It had a little trouble until it got warmed up a bit(after the smoke from the oil on the exhaust pipe cleared)it ran great. I just had to adjust the idle and it was fine. Would it be worth a try to go up one size in jet to get better performance?

After riding it around a little bit(about 6 miles on the odometer) I hit a stick that was concealed under the leaves. I layed it down at about 10 mph smashed my hand into the ground and now the front brake won't hold pressure. You can pump it up and it will work, but it bleeds off while you hold it.

Has anyone put a set of "bark busters" or handlebar protectors on their bikes?
