Ton of maintenance to be done

Hey whats up guys!
I have not been riding since august 2013 Sucks! i am wanting to get maintenance done now that i paid off my car.

I have a laundry list of things to do as far as maintenance.
Here it is:

Labor Rate per hour $90.00
----------------------------
2 new tires purchase and install $265
2 new sets of brake pads Front and Rear + sensor adjust ($160 Parts+ labor)
1 new air filter
chain service --
oil change service-- (all service $260 + parts)
gas lines: crack + broken
vacuum line repairs


The shop I went to had the best reviews and is called Moto Club Di Santa Monica its in California. I paid $80.00 for the 30 point inspection which is how i got all this info.
How much do you think all this repair should really cost?
Thank you in advance for posting!

Seems OK if you don't want to do the work yourself.

@Alex wrong subforum.

All of that stuff is extremely easy to do yourself with the exception of the tires. You paid $80 for someone to tell you they want more money from you? Look at your fuel/vacuum lines and actually see if anything's wrong with them. How are your fuel lines broke, they're rubber? Are you leaking fuel everywhere?

Take the fairings off and inspect the lines. There's not that much stuff on these little bikes.

Took the fairings off, see the picture. I believe this is the gas line he said was broken. Not sure where the vacuum lines are. Gas isnt leaking all over from what I know. Ive been riding on it like this for over 6 months. No spills or leaks.. so I figured it was fine. I paid to have it inspected by an expert. I had purchased this bike used and there were 2 other owners before me. So its good to know the ins and outs of what the bike needs.

Thanks for your help so far

Thanks for the links man! Ill check em out.
Im not mechanically inclined but I will try my hand and learn as much as I can to help myself.
The chain is just basic maintenace. Clean, adjust. I can do that at least.
The sensor? Im not sure what tgey meant by that. See the picture above. Could it have to do with this broken part? I believe it is for the gas line? Sorry the picture is sideways. Needs to be turned right to view correctly.

Thanks again friend!

Clean and oil the air filter, change your oil and filter, service the chain and replace a couple of easy-to-access hoses for $260 plus parts?

I'll do it for just $50 plus parts.

You'll have to pay my airfare, though.
