OK so my 2002 900ie has been sitting on the stands for about a year and a half except for a 4 mile trip to get inspected. 

The year before it got only 500 miles on the clock

in 2010 I put on a pair of Pilot 2CT tires which have plenty of life still on them...about 2500 miles of wear

I had also changed out the timing belts back then


Should I be good to go with what is on the bike or should I be concerned about any "aging" of the rubbery bits?
This is an insult to the Pez community

I'd drain and replace the gas, check the belt rollers to make sure they're free and run it.
2000 Monster 900Sie, a few changes
1992 900 SS, currently a pile of parts.  Now running
                    flogged successfully  NHMS  12 customized.  Twice.   T3 too.   Now retired.

I'd ride it as is.

You should change the rubbery bits next season.
