Strip off gas tank using a socket wrench by removing the bolts at the front and back. Inspect this for holes, rust and dents, then seal these, sand and repaint.
2Remove both the front and rear tires, setting the bike forks, ender carriage and rear forks on large slabs of wood. You should buy new tires because these may be rotted and will definitely be unsafe. Also, inspect the spokes for damage and rust, if there is a lot of rust, replace the wheels too.
3Remove the wire harness and check all connections for dust, grease and broken wires. Replace as necessary.
4Sand down the frame with sanding disks, then repaint the frame with black spray paint.

7Test the brakes and clean and refill the brake fluid, brake lines and grease the brake lever. Tighten the brake lever line if necessary.
