I'm sure the gas is bad. That's probably the biggest problem you'll have. So you may have to rebuild the carbs if they're gummed up. I'm sure the battery is bad too.

Yup, as mentioned above. Your carb boots are prolly cracked now also and check/replace vacuum lines, check your cush drive on the rear to make sure that they are not all shrunk. Get new tires while you are at it. I would soak the chain in diesel fuel for a couple days also. A long storage sucks.

Yup plan on new tires(they look great though)battery change oil, coolet, bleed brakes-clutch-clean out gas tank, but what about the engine-is there something I should do before turning over for the 1st time-if need parts who are the companies you guy recomnd for older bikes

I tend to pour diesel down the plug, let it soak, then hand turn it to break the rings. Then change the oil.

Diesel works but I prefer to use marvel mystery oil. It will help lubricate the cylinder walls. Its good stuff.

I would use marvel mystery oil also. You should lubricate your cylinders before startup.

Fogging oil in a spray can, or even WD40 would also work.
