Just a real light smear on journals & lobes. Cam lube is usually packed with moly , great for metal to metal but it will wipe out your clutch. Ask me how I know. I don’t even recommend it unless it was supplied by the company that made the cam. Even then just the lightest smear of it. I wont use it , I just use a smear of white grease , not assembly lube , white grease. It cost me a brand new set of Barnett clutch plates on one of my Hondas , 2 sets of plates & 2 cover gaskets & oil = $200. Live n Learn !

If you replace the cam and the motor is together, you could jack the rear of the bike and add your 2.5 Qts of oil through the intake valve cover flooding the "bathtub" under the cam lobes . The rest of the oil would return to the oil sump. With the bike still jacked you could place the bike in gear and manually rotate the rear wheel ,that should force the oil pump to fill the filter and passages up to the cam ,so that when you first start the bike lubrication to the cam should be almost instantaneous.(I would hope
