my '93 xr 200 has been laid up for 8 years?

My 1993 xr 200 has been in my barn unused for 8 years. Any recomendations on what I need to do to get it back in riding condition?

you will definately need to change the petrol for some new fresh stuff and clean out the jets in the carb and treat it to a new battery if it has one, pump the tyres up check the oil and she should be fine mate ok,the fuel doesnt last long at all these days mate the preservatives they used to put in it are missing and it turns to a varnish like material after a while and smells foul (:adam
