Obviously you have it started now but there should have been no worries anyway with it standing without oil, there would still have been plenty of oil on all the internal components. when an engine is new it's more dry than one that's been drained, they lubricate bearings and bearing surfaces etc which on yours will be well lubed anyway.

Such a relief when it started not just the engine but all the bits have been changed - engine and loom so only the carbs are the same of last years bike .
I did have a huge smile when it fired up and I still have it ! Or is that because Virt had just left

Staying in and drinking lots as I'm a tight git and won't pay taxis besides if I go out I'd end up in Essex on a booty call (Jamie's mum) :-)

A brand new engine wont be sitting around long before it gets oil, run and tested, and they are pre lubricated by parts suppliers.
