I would get the front suspension sorted professionally, the fork internals are old fashioned and not very good. Make sure you spray all the electrical contacts and plugs with ACF50. Set TPS and throttle balance. Pull brakes, clean and put in new fluid. Do the same for the clutch. Wheel bearings and head races should be checked. Sometimes the discs can warp or the disc spacers seize. Apart from that it should be good to go. Apart from the things you have mentioned and the general strip and clean I can't see the bike needing much at all. The ST3 is in VFR territory for reliability.

For grins I pulled a plug. Looks rich to me...

Only way to test that is a nice long uphill gradient and get up through the gears and keep the throttle pinned for a mile or so, then clutch in and kill the engine.

But all that'll tell you about is the fueling at 100% throttle and max rpm. That's really only useful of you plan on running at the salt flats.

Back in the day of carbs that was usefull in setting the main jet size but that's about it.

That's about the best you can do with no analyser.
