My advice is pretty similar to Tonys.
I would probably not recommend the M56 Kolyma Highway (all season roads) before early to mid June. You will have a lot of snow melt still at that time and you are more likely to have washed away sections and serious water crossings in June. That means the main route can have challenging sections then, and the Old Summer Road at that time is in the "You must be kidding" ("I think no") category.
I would wait at least until mid July to tackle the Old Summer Road. Best time will be the month of August ... with 2 weeks either side of that in the "tough / risky / challenging but possible" category.
By mid September its frozen with sub zero temperatures possible during the day, let alone the night.
