My Honda 1000 did the same thing every spring when I fired it the first time and all I did was let it run with the choke on for a few minutes until it got warm enough for all the cylinders to kick in. I never had to do anything to the carbs but I did put new plugs in once. Sitting over the winter shouldn't build any varnish in the carbs. If you let it run where it wants to and gradually increase rpms until all three cylinders are firing it should take off and go. If you very carefully touch the pipes after it starts the cold one is the one that either isn't getting gas or spark. Remember I said very carefully?
bike batteries don't hold a charge well after sitting for over a week, they need to be started and run or charged often and always use a small charger. It's easy to overheat and burn out one with a car battery charger.
