Sorry this is my 1st build and I just want to make sure all is correct.
Would it actually matter if I leave it on 1F and install the cams according to the manual, that should fire up piston 2 as it should???

note that 2T can be either firing OR exhaust depending upon cam position
Spin engine 360-degrees and set crank position to 2T.
Pistons and crank can only go together 1 way.
Cams spin at 1/2 speed of crank.
But cams can go together 2 different ways. Or one of 4 possible combinations.
Note: there's 2 sets of holes in cam sprockets. Make sure intake and exhaust cams are bolted to proper holes so that cam lobes aim in proper position.
Kawasaki spent lots of effort and money on engineering for this bike. Design has run well for over 30-years. You are not going to do better than factory engineers. Don't try to 2nd-guess them, you will
destroy engine! Follow procedure in manual religiously! Start with engine at 2T and follow every step after that religiously.
