Hiya
In addition to the above I'd add a couple of extra steps. While you're playing with the carbies check the condition of the air filter while you're in there. Give it a good clean or replace it if it's beyond saving. You'll be surprised how big a difference good clean air flow makes - also I have been caught out by this - make sure it has an air filter - you'd be surprised by the heros who think simply dumping the air filter makes big power.
Now if your intent is to just make sure it goes before you move on then I'd make sure the tank is empty of whatever is in it. Stick some pre-mix fuel in and see if it bites. Don't rely on the oil pump until you've had a chance to check over the pump adjustment and cables and whether it is operating. It'll be a bit smokey but wont hurt and is better than the thing going bang. Once you're sure it kicks then do the checks listed above, check the adjustment of the oil pump (you'll need the manual for that) then you can work your way around the rest of the bike, do the oils etc. I reckon I run my RGV (a VJ21) about once every six months and seems not to be an issue. I always use a synthetic two stroke oil too but not that motorex stuff at $120 for four litres.....
