    Seals... some gaskets... more importantly bearings that have gone dry sitting that long.

    Was this indoor or outdoor storage? And is it a damp or dry climate.


    Also Fuel system... if this wasn't put up with a truly dry system you have a lot a crud and varnish that will need cleaned out.

    Dry rotted tires (and tubes if not tubless). Fuel lines dry rotted. Brake fluid gone bad, possible moisture accumulation and corrosion in the brake calipers...


    In short, it needs a VERY thourogh sorting out.
