before i start this bike

<< < (2/2)

SteveD CB500K0:
I've always done by hand (but then I wasn't running a business)

If you take the plugs out and crank by hand (or foot) until the oil lamp goes out.

Very satisfying...    :)

Trigger:
I have always built engines with Graphogen , so no worry's turning the motor over on the start button. I find just leaving a couple of tappet caps off to see if the oil is reaching the top end.

Trigger:
Graphogen is great stuff. You can even do a bench start & run test without oil. Beds in the parts a treat. Never used STP, but i think it was for you older boy's. ;)
