If you haven't done a fuel line do that. Have carb and carb box gaskets on hand. If the tires and tubes are old do them. Flush and bleed the brake
Just to reinforce what Greasy said...
My first 2005 was 8 years old and still in the crate when I bought it. I went in to replace the fuel line while looking for an oil leak and the lines would crack and break in my hand. That stuff gets brittle as it ages with no use.
My second 2005 (after the first got totaled) I bought in 2020 with only 500 miles on it. The fuel and oil lines had been replaced and the tires looked brand new but the date code showed them to be manufactured in 2004. The rubber gets hard as it ages which results in them being VERY slippery on wet pavement. So don't just look for wear, look at the date code. There are lots of web pages that can explain what to look for if you don't already know.
Yes, they are a blast to ride, but the green of the Serie America is much faster than red.
