It will be very exciting for you. Dont do the first ride on a hot day. Just don't let her get too hot, I know you have new pistons and rings, so you need a lit of cool air around the top end to avoid over heating and seizure whilst running in. Just make sure when you fire her up that you have oil getting to the top end by removing a tappet cap at each end and watch for splashes / specs of oil. If you don't see this, stop the engine and investigate / rectify or you could cook your top end 😱😱😱

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.
