Beginner Quesiton, Direction to crank engine?

[Fazerider]

Good, makes sense, is there any harm in doing it clockwise?

Probably not. Potentially it could damage the cam chain tensioner guide, normally that would be on the low tension side of the chain. If you're making checks of valve timing, you could get misleading results if the engine has been turned the wrong way though it's unlikely backlash in the system would be that bad.
