Buy a r1100gs that has been under a cover in the road for 4 years

Hello

What work would you do before starting a bike that has been sat outside for 4 years. Lets skip the drain the tank, replace the brake fluid and charge/replace the battery.

Would you remove plugs, spray two stroke down the bores and turn over through the gear box. Then start bike, run till warm and do ano oil and filter change, What about the grea and final drive oil?
