My xs650 has some new parts. But I would like to know what else you think is necessary before riding. It sat in a garage for 25 years with no attention.
New parts: carb rebuild fuel petcock fuel lines and filter tires brake caliper, pads, and fluid battery engine cover seals and sump plate seal oil filter and sump filter air filter
Is there anything else I NEED? I'm sure this post is in the wrong thread but since it possibly covers so many topics I didn't know where else to put it.

Oil, gas, plugs, plate, insurance, gap points, set valve lash, helmet if applicable, check all bulbs, chain tension (cam and drive), lube cables, fuses.... Ok, hopefully you did most of those already. Once you get fire in the hole, take it for an easy shakedown and work the bugs out. If you end up with bugs that won't go away, there is an expert team of exterminators here to remedy almost anything that bike can throw at you. They saved my butt numerous times already. Have a blast and keep us posted! Oh, and don't forget pics

Yes to most. What is this plate you speak of?

License plate. Just my lame humor, sorry.
