So, all new jets, even the press in jets? Did you bench sync the carbs so the slides are open the same amount? Did you set the fuel screws to 1.75 turns out? How clean were all the passages?
Did you set your float level to 14.5mm, +- .5? Have you verified that fuel is filling the bowls? You can do this by getting clear fuel tubing and hooking it to the drain nipples and bending the lines up without kinking them. Open the drain screw and see where the level is. All 4 should be about even, just a bit below the top of the float bowl.

Are you using the choke? When cold, these bikes require choke to start. Make sure the flaps are closing all the way when you pull the choke knob.

Have you verified that your timing is set right? It starts but it maybe it is too far off to run.
