Banshee has sat, where to start

[BrockMoto]

I bought a friend's banshee i know it has atleast sat in his shop for 3 years could have been longer.  It is my second so i'm not totally clueless just wondering where to start on a bike that has sat so long.  Anything i need to watch out for?  Was planning to do a leak down and compression check, clean carbs and chain and i have some random tires laying around... anything else?  He rode it in the garage and parked it, had a kid and 3 years later its mine

Id say depends on what your plans are if u just wanna ride it as is.. First thing I would do is take the pipes off and blow them out with compressed air to make sure there are no rats nest in there. Take off filters and carbs, clean and inspect them. Throw some new plugs in. Drain all fluids and replace. Do a compression test and if it reads well, id start it up and ride it lol

Easy enough, will do. By the looks of his barn, there will be lol

Also, might as well check the reeds too while you have the carbs off.
