If gas was left in her for 8yrs, its probably gel by now. Fuel system Needs throughly cleaned out and new filter in tank.

Brakes need flushed and front forks should have the oil changed

After that, U should have a great and safe bike to ride..
yep - my suggestion too. why keep throwing money at it in hopes of finding what's not working ... let an expert have at it.
