About to buy a hawk 250 in Colorado, questions.

Hi guys! I have been eyeing the hawk 250 for a while now as a beginner bike since I have only ridden a few times as a kid.

I live in Colorado and love to go camping, I'm looking for a fun toy to bring along mainly for casual trail riding and exploring. I highly doubt I will be getting into anything more serious than that, and this bike seems perfect for it.

Couple of questions:

1. My house is at 5,000 ft elevation, and where I usually camp/ride is closer to 10,000 ft. Should I expect to run into problems with the carburetor? I'm a pretty handy mechanic, but have limited experience with carburetors.

2. Any tips, ideas or suggestions for a newbie rider, before he clicks "buy"

I found that q9powersports can ship me a Hawk 250 for 1399 out the door, which seems like a pretty sweet deal. Again, I'm a backyard mechanic so I intend to do any repair/mod work myself.
