Loving the content. Fantastic work you'll soon start growing with this sort of content.

Anti Seize is no longer necessary on modern plugs since the threads are zinc platted. Just keep in mind if the threads are shinny, you don't need Anti Seize.

The orange plug at the bottom is the oil indicator.

Hey, After pouring the oil, how long did you wait for before starting the engine ?

Guessing the Maxim's still running, and there's been no further efforts being made at present. Safe travels and best wishes.

@@kevinon4wheels can appreciate the reasoning behind putting our immediate concerns ahead of our own personal cares. You chose one of the easiest to care for makes, model's, and year's to put back in working order. So glad you got her up and running as you did, since they make some of the best bike's to restore and ride for someone who doesn't want to bury all their livelihood into. Pray your very well, and most healthy, Kevin. Best wishes.

Hey Kevin I thought when you were first starting it I saw your head gasket leak on the video when the cylinder was full of fuel maybe you want to watch the video and see but I could swear I thought it was blowing out of there probably because the motor was partially hydrolocked from the fuel but you may be all right who knows

If you clean out the tics vacuum rail it will idle much smoother and the throttle response will get crisper. But nice work man.

It's stamped on the cover right above the rear brake lever.

Was hoping to find a video on replacing the front brakes. I need to replace mine, but I can't figure out how to get the caliper off

Hi Shane. The brake calipers on the front is very simple. I can pop a video up for you in the next few days.
