Had my 2005 RIII sitting for 2-3 years now. Tried to start up and cranked fine but didnt start.
tried to put power booster on the battery to turn faster.. turned like a good drill but no start again...
tried Start spray .. broom started for few seconds .. so problem is fuel not ignition...
There is plenty fuel onboard but now like 2-3 years old...
Ran fine before parking. was parked due to ignition switch issue which has been sorted with new ignition swtich 3 years later...

would love good suggestion on fueling issues after long term storage

Change fuel filter (in tank) blow all lines & fresh gas. Mite have to clean injector's as well.

I think that as soon as you remove the banjo bolt the tank valve will close and shut off probably even if you turned on the fuel pump more than likely nothing will come out.
Your fuel rail and injectors most likely will be plugged with bad gas.
