Invest in a FACTORY service manual. By the end of the first hour the manual has paid for itself. Don't get a Haynes or Clymer manual. Set the valve clearances and cam chain tensioner. Install new stock NGK spark plugs. Clean or replace the air filter.

I don't have a manual so I will assume the bike has carbs and not fuel injection.
Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).

FOR EACH carb >
Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. After all carbs have been done, turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetors from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.

Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together and install the carb.

Also, sync the carbs such that the slides on all carbs begin to move at the same exact instant when the throttle is slowly turned. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road.

Please rate this solution. Thanks! Bebe!

Backfires may indicate that a valve is sticking open, so that you are not getting compression. I am assuming that no repairs or adjustments were done which might have messed up the timing of valves or ignition.
