Erv is giving you good advice for getting your bike back on the road.
**The most important is oiling the cylinders because the oil will have run off the cylinder walls after sitting for year(s) and you do not want the piston rings to be scraping the walls of the cylinders. It will take only a short time to build up oil pressure once the engine is started, but it could be enough time to cause engine damage.**
All the other items such as proper lubrication, hoses, coolant, tires are very important also. I am a mechanic and can do all my own work but if you are not comfortable with everything it would probably be in your best interest and safety to pay to have it done properly. If you let us know what area you are from maybe someone could recommend a good, honest mechanic you can take the bike to.
I had to do all the above on my car and bike when I returned from my tour in Germany after 2 years.
Good luck!! mcG63
