if the lower unit is sumped the starter takes a very big load to crank the engine - so make sure its topped off before starting and leave the charger on till it runs
put a pan under the vent hose location as it will not if it spits oil out - you did not have it running long enough but the starter screws effed you in this - again the stupids
be prepared to ride it as it comes to a stop with the oil pumping out of it - be mindful it will leave a trail behind it that will take 8 Months to go away - someone could call the epa be careful its not 1954 > and they will charge you plenty for the inconvenient incident

that's because you live in a place that is environmentally psychotic - and you really need professional help not thinking that was a bit over the top
but then again replacing the black top with Italian marble was a ***** e thing to do

Yes, ran the bike with the inspection cover off and saw oil flood the primary. Took apart the primary and found that the two screws that hold the stator wireing in place were not there. The end of the plug closest to the rotor got chewed up. Even if the screws were in there it looks like the rotor would still chew up the plug that goes into the case. ???
