Strip all suspension, brakes, bearings. Clean and grease.

Change all fluids, pull all wiring connectors apart, check for corrosion and put back together with grease, charge/replace battery, check airbox for families of mice (it does happen! it does make a mess!). New plugs, possibly HT leads and pipework.

That should see it about right anyway. Other stuff will come to light when you run it for a bit.
