Demonstrate best initial start after rebuild procedure for RG500. Also works for RZ500 and RD500. Assemble _dry_ pistons into _dry_ cylinders and start engine with premix gas. Immediately upon starting engine reach down to oil pump and hold it wide open. After 30 seconds or so smoke will start coming from the pipes. Each smoky pipe proves oil is being delivered to that cylinder. The dry start gives the rings nice sharp ninety degree edges which seal really well.
First hand reviews by a man with lots of war stories to base his opinions on ;-) I spent 20+ years writing and reviewing specs while working as a Real Time Embedded Systems Engineer (computer programmer) and racing motorcycles while staying married and raising five children. Also attended hundreds of concerts as most of our date nights involved live music.

RG500 engine start after rebuild
I made significant notes about what is going on at the YouTube site. Please read them.
How to tow a motorcycle
Whenever towing a motorcycle it is _very important_ to rig
the tow rope so the towed person can drop the tow rope at any time.
Weird things happen with towed motorcycles. Sometimes the tow-er is looking forward and cannot
see the problem developing with the tow-ed motorcycle so keeps on at full
speed. This can result in a crash and
subsequent dragging of the bike along on the ground.
The way to do it is to bring the rope in between the handlebar clamps,
loop around the handlebar once or twice then run a bit out to the left
handgrip. The tow-ed rider can hold the
rope against the grip with his fingers.
If a problem develops he can just let go. The towing force will immediately unwrap the
rope from the handlebars and the tow-ed bike will be free.
