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...

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.
