Yeah, run it a bit without sparks get the oil running round the engine. If you have a oil pressure gauge attached you can use that to check if the pressure comes up a bit.

This is the video of our engine start:

Or go here http://www.msportster.co.uk/videos.asp and pick engine first run from the video player

You'll need to give it this long for the fuel to get to the injectors. I kinda pumped the throttle a bit but I don't think you need to do that with injection, but open the throttle a bit as it coughs to life to keep it from stopping.

I'm sure someone else will have a more informed reply, I'm just guessing based on what I did.
