How old are the tires? Any tire over 5 years should be replaced. Rubber gets hard and slippery with age and just might bite you when you least expect it.
Check the chain and sprockets for wear too.
Check all the lights for function. The list goes on but this will get you started. A little TLC will make the bike happier and more reliable.

Question: I cannot find the definitive answer on which main jet to get for the carb. Some say the Mikuni large size 130-145 and others say the small size. So whch is it? Also do I need anything to shim my needle besides thin brass washers? Some pics show a notched needle with a clip and some show a white plastic looking washer. Thanks again
Here is what I believe is the correct main jet:
