Hello everybody I'm new here and just wanted to ask a quick question.I have a 87 ex5 that has been sitting for a couple years is there any thing that should probably be replaced or cleaned? thanks.

Change out the fluids.
Clean the air filter.
Consider replacing the tires.
Blinker fluid.
Fresh gas, check for rust.
Battery okay?
Is the chain rusty as hell?
Carbs will need a cleaning.
Check the electrics and lights.

Don't forget that blinker fluid though.

NA when you clean the carbs, pull the jet, make shore the are not clogged.
