If it is lowered bring it back to stock height, remove kickstand or @ minimum unbolt the safety switch and tie wrap it up inside the body work (make sure it is in the correct position
). If it has the Dunlop 501's in descent shape I probably wouldn't worry about tires just run about 28psi cold IIRC. If you run race tires I would suggest the set that Peanut has advertised for sale or I have a set of Bridgetsones 003 RS rear and 016 front you can have if you pick 'em up in Aurora. If money is no object get the Michelins that Vanmar is selling.
The frame sliders for the Ninjettes suck don't waste your $ and if you still want them I don't know who would be best sorry.
There is a relatively easy carb tuning trick that will make it run better on the bottom end, and while carb removal is not required you do need to pop the tops open and access the needles.
