HAVE A LOOK IN THE HARD WEAR STORES YOU YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL DO THE TRICK

One explanation for this would be that your charging system is faulty. It is possible that the OLD battery was ok, but was not getting charged by the faulty charge system. You put in a new battery, that is part charged before sale and ran the battery flat because it wasn't charging. If you leave a discharged lead acid bettery for 20 minutes or so, it will pick up a little again and possibly let the bike start and run, but by the time you got home you had killed the battery completely.

All the facts fit, though I'm not promising that it is the problem.

Take the battery off and charge it with a charger. Now, put it back on the bike and run the bike (It should start) While the battery is on the bike, get a volt meter on it. It should read slightly over voltage (doesn't matter if its a 12 or 6 volt system, it will read a little over when the bike is running) when you turn the engine off, you should see the volt meter drop down to the stated battery voltage. If you get no hike with the engine running and drop as you power off, its a good sign the charging system is faulty. A similar test, start the bike, meter the battery and turn on the indicators, stop light and head light to pull as much power as you can, the battery voltage shouldn't dip, because the charge system should compensate. If it does dip, consider this a confirmation that the charging system is faulty.

sounds like the carbs need cleaning bad

Check the front tyre pressure

It could be both a dirty plug, crook lead/coil and/or fuel problem, possibly a vacum leak.
With such low mileage it would be very adviseable to do a full service and tune (probably a carburetor clean as well).
It is always a gamble when buying a vehicle that MAY only have a small problem.

The stator is to be checked.The battery voltage before and after driving.It should be checked.If the voltage is same,the stator is charging the battery.But if battery voltage decreases a lot after driving then it can be faulty stator causing this. Also check the fuel pressure and spark plugs.If the pressure is low it will take few attempts to start and if spark plugs are worn out or very old or got wet or moisture collected on spark plugs then it will take few attempts to start.Remove the terminals and clean then and reconnect.---------- This possibilities are to be checked,to troubleshoot the problem.This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

On every bike I've ever worked on, I've been able to remove the top end without unmounting the motor. If you are set on removing the entire motor, first remove the top end, then remove the motor from the frame. One particularly tricky fit was a 500cc polaris motor. I had to lift up the rear of the motor, swing the back end out to the left side while tilting the engine. Then I had to pull it straight back again, and tilt it more until the cylinder was parallel to the floor (the top of the cylinder pointed straight out of the right side of the frame and then it came out, fully assembled.

The frame VIN number is normally alongside the stock, at the front of the frame, under the handle bars, but could be either side.
Hope that helps.
