first off use regular gas, not high test. regular burns easier and faster.
second, heres what i do. go full choke, give the throttle three full turns, they attempt to start. if it doesnt want to start still try holding the throttle open a crack while holding the start button. that and i also make sure to start the bike once every other day at the least. i usually start it for like 5 min every day.

I have an '87 that I bought last fall as a basket case. I put it together and now I am starting to tune it for spring. It took a lot of cranking to get it to start. I used full choke. I let it warm up for a while but could not get it to stay running with the choke off. I will be pulling the carbs shortly. My idle circuit must be gummed up from sitting.
