Who's suggesting pulling the head ?
I said drop some oil in the bores - through the sparkplug holes..............
To remove the tappet cover is 8 bolts - easy and extra insurance.
Agreed. And make sure to hand crank it several times like he said, too.

I dropped 3ml of engine oil into each bores and leave it for two days. After this time I crank the engine with spanner, its rotate very easy, without any jerks. Meantime I waiting for tacho, I would like to see temperature and fix wiring (few ripped wires after crash). As soon as I get tacho I will try to start engine. More details soon...

concider getting some seafoam and mix it with gas to make a concentrated mix , and that will help free up some tarnish and fouled fuel left in the carbs... oh yea and the longer it can sit in the carbs the better it will work. peece

seafoam... first hear about this things. I checked their homepage.
To buy this seafoam in my country will takes lots of time . I never saw this things in shops. I think that I will try start engine on clean petrol, because of time which is needed to but this things.

Default carbs

I would definitely take the time to clean up the carbs before attempting to start. Dismount them and (leave them on their rack) remove the bowls and remove all the jets. Blow the passages clean with carb cleaner and make sure the slides move up and down easily (and at the same rate) after reassembly.

For good measure, I would oil up the throttle and clutch cables as well. Make sure the rear wheel is up in the air (bike on a stand) in case the clutch is seized up as well. Hate to catapult the bike into the wall when it finally starts.

Oh, and you'll certainly need a new battery.
