Didn't have a garage until recently, so she sat outside the entire time. Under a cover, at least, but still outside.
Turned out the seal on the gas cap went bad so my tank rusted, and the gas turned to varnish. I had put stabilizer in, but its probably not effective over that long of a time. So all in all, this is what had to be done:
remove rust and gummed up gas from tank
new gas cap
new fuel pump
new fuel line
bypass old fuel filter and add an inline filter
clean and rebuild injectors
new tires
new chain & sprockets (old ones rusted)
oil, oil filter, coolant, brake fluid for brakes and clutch
air filter
spark plugs
new seats (originals cracked)
new battery
new bellypan that I accidentally broke
couple new bulbs
Glad to say shes now running probably better than she was when put her down. Feels good to be back in the saddle after so long!
