Agree, the book of words does say that. But, once you get the bike fired up, the last thing you want to do is have it sitting running, getting very hot, whilst you fettle and adjust things. It's best to do as much as you can before even starting the engine for the 1st time, so you can ride away, getting air round the engine to keep the engine temp down. Fine adjustments to carbs, cam chain etc can be done when the bike is well run in.

I love the colour of your CR Eric....I have seen the bike in the flesh and it is an absolute stunner.
Candy Topez Orange I think Julie!
I think you are correct Phil...well, I know you are actually 😊. It really is fantastic, I don't think it would suit a standard road bike CB Honda but on a race bike it just looks perfect.

It's tight but not adjusted. I think start and break-in will be ok with it as is, what you reckon?
It should be fully adjusted before you start running in the engine. If the cam chain is flapping around in the tunnel, its not going to do it much good. Also, the chain on the sprocket wheel pulls the camshaft down in to optimum position, therefore it needs to be fully adjusted to make everything work as it should. Edit...I should have added that you still need to check it is fully adjusted when the engine is running. But, I found that by adjusting it fully before, it wouldn't take any further adjustment anyway.

She'll be up and running in no time now. Does look good. Have you tightened the lock nut on the cam chain adjuster?

Great, do the same process with the other 3 and your machine will be flying. I was really pleased when I sorted mine out, not only with the result but doing the diagnostics and adjustments too. We can now say we have tuned our bikes I suppose 😁😁😁😁

It does look a lot better. If it were my plug, I would turn the air screw out by just a tad more, somewhere between then 2¼ and 2½ and hopefully that should improve performance even nearer to perfect. I found that once I had adjusted all 4, I had to lover the idle revs down by adjusting the big idle screw. You may or may not need to do this though.

Yes, red rubber grease or as sprocket says, some stay no problem at all without anything.

I always start with them a 2 turns out and take it from there. I rarely find that the need much adjustment to make things better but also find it unusual to have all 4 set exactly the same also. The manual gives a tolerance of 2 ± ½ turns, so anywhere between 1½ and 2½ is ok depending on plug colour,on cleaned plugs and after a good hard ride and keep adjusting and re checking until you get what you are looking for, or the performance improves. Screw in for more fuel (richer) screw out for more air, leaner.Running slightly rich is preferable to running too lean though.

I would say your No 2 is running rich (I'm stating the obvious here 🙄) I had the same issue on one of my bikes, the struggling to get beyond 60 mph and oh, so slow getting from 60-70. I just adjusted all the air screws out, depending on resulting plug colour, making it leaner and all was sorted, instant pulling power and no sooty plugs. Hopefully it's something as simple with yours.

I would have thought one was just the reverse of the other, the same action with the cocking over leg just the other way around. But what do I know about that game. Diddly squat. 
You know more than most Chris, it's your hip 😀😀😀 Next time you get on and off the bike, analyse your whole body posture, it's totally different for both processes. Most important thing is that you are comfy and pain free when riding. Even I'm beginning to have slight issues getting on and off of bikes, not as easy as it used to be.
