It depends on what the bike needs, and what your desires are.
Also- it depends on your skill level with engines (you are either a gear head or not, and if not, consider sticking to the tune-up stuff etc).
If the bike runs- makes sure to keep clean oil in it. I would adjust the timing chain immediately, as this is an often neglected item, and leads to failure if not done often (at least at every oil change, which i would do at 500 miles). Make sure the battery is strong (or it will be hard starting) and clean the carb. You can get a maintenance manual online for a reasonable price. I recommend it. You can also find blogs online from others who have done it. Surf and learn!~
All the best! -Bob
