The bike had been standing for 12 months with fuel in tank with an additive, she did not fire up changed fuel started after a time,but will not idle only if you keep choke on revs, ok any suggestions to my situation thanks.

Sounds like the carbs are clogged and would benefit from a clean - blocked idle jets.

Thanks for the reply I forgot to mention that I had cleaned the carbs look's like I need to take another look at them.

Did you balance the carbs after and reset the TPS?

Blocked pilot jets, very difficult to clean as they are not a straight hole, but have a star/web structure inside. Soak in Carb cleaner over night in a sealed container to prevent Carb cleaner evaporating. Blow them through from both directions. Maybe soak them again for a few hours and blow them through again. A ultra sonic cleaner is good if you have acces to one.

Once again thank you for your reply, I will have to find who can do that, too much knowledge more than I have.
