1560? Poor thing's been alone too long.

before to get going to far - you'll need to spend a little time in the shop. All your fluids will need a fresh up and you NEED new cam belts. They are spec'd to be 2 year or 12k mile items - which ever happens first. As 12k hasn't passed I'm guessing the belts are original and working on 7 years over their replacement threshold.

There's been a few threads in Tech detailing what a bike that's been sitting for ages needs. Other items that come to mind are new tires, drain the gas tank.. a shot of techron or BG 44k during the next couple fill ups. Fluids I mentioned (oil(s), hydraulics)

*Edit -
Where are my manners - Welcome.
