I don't have the mechanical know how to fix piston rings (if that's the problem).

Cross country from you, MD. Okay now I'm confused. When I got the bike I pulled the plugs and they were covered in oil. I changed the plugs and pulled them today, not one had oil on them. When I got the bike it had sat for 5 years before me. I'm kinda confused now because an oil problem disappeared.
Before storing the bike, someone may have put some oil in the cylinders to keep the rings from sticking or rusting in place. Or the oil might have been put in there later on to try and free up the rings. These are both pretty common and good things.
So quit worrying about it, put in some stock plugs and GO RIDE THE SNOT OUT OF YOUR GS!

Sorry to be a worry wart, but care to elaborate on the oil so I can do it this winter
bel-rey 6 in 1 spray oil - light film oil not a chain wax type or hardening type spray lube. not wd-40 no lube in there even a pump squirt can that holds engine oil.
take a spark plug out squirt squirt a little fluid down into the cylinder. not a lot but 10ml ~20ml milliliters is enough. turn the engine over 6-7 times after all cylinders are prepped for storage. return the plugs fill up the fuel tank to the top, drain the float bowls, and remove the battery. make sure the tires are not in the direct sun and you are nearly ready to put it away for a long time.

Just to add to trippivot's advice, besides the sun its good not to have the tires in direct contact with the damp ground if possible. I also plug the exhaust, and air intake to keep critter's from nesting in there.

One more thing to add-
I use "Stabil" for all my gas during the winter season.

I use the 2 stroke oil premix with Stabil in it, I still had one can with gas from 2 seasons ago, I just finished it off in the Weed eaters this season.
Then depending on the bike, I spray a light coat of WD40 on the outside of the cases, & wheels (not the tires) to prevent oxidation.
The film of dust I just spray off in the spring, and everything looks as it did the yr before.
