Also, I will be doing the spark plugs before I put the tank back on...I have read to put a small bit of oil down in there before startup. True? How much? Specific kind?

Thanks everyone! Startup is coming !(hopefully)
I would install the choke cable before mounting the carbs. The throttle doesn't matter. Oil down the spark plug hole? Wouldn't hurt anything but probably not necessary unless your bike has been sitting a long time. What oil? What you installed for engine oil. I put a small amount of anti seize compound on my plug threads but be careful tightening your spark plugs. Just "snug" will do it. Anti seize makes it easy to over tighten your plugs.
