Enfield Bullet 500, 1999
I just dug my old bullet out of the garage after 8 years of sitting,, in this time it has gathered a bit of "Patina" with some slight rust etc.. Indian Chrome isn't the best either.. Anyway i'm thinking of firing the old girl up. Aside from getting the battery charged or a new battery and changing all the fluids is there anything else i should be looking at or checking before firing up the beast.. Compression is still good and i notice someone bashed the decompression lever and broke it off so this is going to be a bitch, I am planning to pull the plug and kick it thru a bunch to make sure i am getting oil up to the top end.. Anyone here have any more idea's what i should check/do before i fire the beast???

You could clean the carb, lubricate the cables and brake pivots before riding it.

You might want to check that the rubber in the tyres and tubes is not perishing. personally I would be inclined to change them both plus new rim tapes.
also feel the chain links to make sure none of them has rusted pins.

Give the old girl a good looking over. Look for loose or corroded wire joints.
