Alright so after almost 2 years (22 months to be exact) it looks like I will have the final pieces to finish my bike this week.

When I bought it, it started so I'm hoping after my complete rebuild/restoration it will start again. I'm assuming it won't start first kick because everything needs to work through the system. But I need to know what things to look out for, or tips to get it to start. It's been a while. I have to start it with the choke on right?

I have a new Pro Circuit exhaust system, V-force rad valve, brand new Keihin PWK36 Quad Vent Carb, new Maxima air filter, and brand new Wiseco top end with all new gaskets.

I have the brand new GPI radiators on there so I am going to put the fluid in tonight as well as the tranny oil in the engine.
I am going to run the Castor 927 as my premix and I know I will have to open the petcock valve to get it to start.


P.S. I'm also installing the chain tonight. I got a D.I.D. ERT2 Gold and the master links pins seem to big to go through the holes on the chain to connect both ends. Am I doing something wrong? I used to do this with ease when I was 15. WTH?

Where is your build thread - please add this post there so we can see the entire build... no idea what bike this is for or any of the work you've put in it.  If you don't have build thread please make one!
