Default spark plug change

Whats the best route to change the plugs? Any tips appreciated. I think part of the reason my bike wont start may be due to it being laid on its side for an extended period when it was stolen. Any thoughts or other suggestions i would greatky appreciate them as well.

Remove or prop tank up. Remove airbox. Remove coil packs. Remove plugs. Replace.

Did you check the tip over sensor?If it's not straight then your bike won't start.

I have no idea where the sensor is. I was told to change the plugs because it had been on its side for a while. The plugs were changed by the guy i bought it from cause he said it wouldnt start. That was a couple years ago. Im trying to put together several ideas/scenerios cause I dont get to work on it but 1 night a week and I dont want to have to run back and forth to the internet.
Thanks for the ideas, but wheres the tip sensor?

Tip sensor is located behind the speedometer.If you don't all ready have a service manual,I suggest you down load one from here to help you identify the parts location.

Finally got my 954 to start, all the spark plugs were lose (think they tried to thieve those too) Ran thru several checks started to test the coils and inspect the plugs thats when we put them back in and made sure they were tight crossed our fingers and hit the start button. Fired right up, now all I need is head light housing, blinkers plastic, brake fluid resevoir and a lot of bolts.
Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.
