Replace all fluids including any hydraulic fluids. Fit new spark plugs and strip down carburettor cleaning the jets especially the main jet. If corroded at all, replace the corroded jets.

Are you giving it any throttle when you try to start it, yu shouldnt, keep throttel completely closed when using hte choke or you will flood the engine
Fuel becomes like a gel substance if the bike was not used for some time. There may be some gel blocking the main jet of your carburetor. If the gel formed in the tank, it may take a while to reach the carburetor. That may be why it operated without a problem for a while.
Get some carb cleaner. Remove and clean the Nozzle, choke and main jet. Remove the pilot jet and air jet but count the number of turns to remove each one and put them back the same number of turns. Don't mess with the needle or clip or the pilot screw and plug at this time. Clean the carb thoroughly. Don't get carb cleaner on the diaphragm. If able, submerge the carb in cleaner overnight. Let me know what happens by posting a comment.
You need a richer mixture than normal in a cold engine. It sounds like your machine is too lean on the idle circuit. Turn the air screw in on each carb to richen it up. Also, verify the choke is working properly.
Are the spark plugs firing ? Did you add a stabilizer to the fuel prior to storage?? If the plugs are firing, I would suggest that you drain the fuel bowl on the carburetors, disconnect the fuel lines and spray carbs full of a good carburetor / fuel injection cleaner and let it set a couple of days,then try to start again . If it still won't start, youmay have to disassemble the carbs and clean them in carb solvent. If your bike has fuel injection, the gunk buildup from the gas may not be your problem. LAST RESORT Take it to a bike mechanic. Hope this helps Mickey - D - N - Tn.
start looking for gas at 90 miles. REALLY be looking for gas at 100 mi.
200/250 miles is no problem. 300+ to 400 will have you feeling like you've ridden a horse as there's no wind protection. the bikini fairing is only marginally protective but it looks the ****.
service intervals on the 07's are 7,500 miles for valve inspection (not necessarily adjustments..), & belts are 2 yrs / 12,000 miles. my belts are due for replacement this summer with approximately 10,000 miles in 24 mos.
