I've got to say ... Mr Gazza's advice sounds good to me.
I'd be inclined to give the battery a damn good charge and then be persistent with the starter button. ...very persistent.
If it still doesn't start before the battery goes flat, I'd be inclined to recharge and repeat before stripping the carbs.
I would probably also check that fuel was reaching the carbs before stripping them. There is every possibility that the diaphragms in either the fuel tap (if a vacuum tap is fitted) or the fuel pump itself have deteriorated though standing dry for a while.
Removing the carbs is quite a lengthy process, never mind stripping them.
Removing the plugs to see if they're wet (indicating that fuel is reaching them) would also be worth doing.
While they're out it might be worth cranking the engine a few times as it would spin up faster with the plugs removed, thereby pumping fuel to the carbs faster too.
Club member Dookbob used to prime his floatbowls using a syringe if his 600 had been standing for a while.
Eventually I think he even fitted a manual priming pump.
Personally I've never had a problem as long as I've been persistent with the starter button after a period of non-use.
