Should work and I suspect that you have a sync tool ?
Agree with Rooster 53 sounds like the Butterfly's or Throttle plates are hanging up or not set correctly.
Only need to do that if you have a issue ?
Sometimes the Float Needles and Seats even in good condition will not seat correctly as it just happens which is a another reason to never leave...
I suspect that the fuel evaporates in the bowls after sitting for a period and that is the reason for using the prime, you sure don't want to...

On my bike I did remove the exhaust but not the oil pan and if my memory is correct the wiring was a bit of a pain.

I believe that Len at XJ 4 EVER sells a tool to remove race ?
Does anyone know what kind of grease Yamaha used on original wheel bearings ?

Click noise from front brakes only under light brake application and will go away if apply brake harder.
I think the steering column has a sticker that may help, did you do a search on the right upper corner ?

It's the needles and float seat and valves not seating and need replacing.
Yes non-ethanol fuel and inline fuel filter also a good ideal, recheck your wet set too that's where most of my issues ended up being you can read...

Wow... low mileage, what kind of condition is it in ?

Were there LED turn signals or bulbs ? if so that may be your problem.
No more then two line inclement between cylinders I believe and the closer the better.
