Any info on a Hawk 250 dirt bike.

I'm concerned that by "I had the retailer replace the oil with synthetic oil" you are not allowing the engine to wear in. It is normally recommended that for the first oil change or two you use regular oil so that there is some engine wear - allowing the engine to "bed-in" and loosen up a little. Yours might end up staying tight for a very long time if only ever run on synthetic oil...

That is correct. Don't use synthetic until the engine is broke in.
