Start up after rebuild. What should I know?
« on: June 03, 2018, 03:08:59 PM »
I’ll be starting up the ‘77 550F probably next weekend. I’ve done a rebuild on the top end, carbs and electrical. I’m wondering what do I need to do, and what do I need to know in order to start this up properly without getting ahead of myself?

If I've learned anything about building a motorcycle, it's check and re-check your work before you put it all back together. Although you do gain more experience by doing it twice.

Ignition off and turn over till oil light goes out, remove outer 4 valve caps and make sure oil floods out when started
