I used shinko for tires. Been good to me and cheap to boot from motorcycle superstore.
Anyways, do the full tune up listed in the manual and get the carbs put together and set to base settings.
See if that sucker fires.
Good chance you will have some leaks from seals and such so use an inexpensive 10-40 oil. Once you go over everything, drain it out for a better oil.
Good chance you may have some smoking from the valves as you first run the bike. Put on a 100 miles or so to really work through the oil. Don't go too far from home though! Give it some good revs while riding, at least 6k or so. Shift through the gears a lot too.
For here, you should have an idea what, if anything you will need to fix.
