1)Battery Hook up to a battery tender

2)New oil & filter

3)Clean airfilter

4)Drain Carbs or Throttle bodies & or add fuel

stablizer to a full tank

5)Clean bike

6)Put up on stands

7)Air up tires

Check coolant

If you are going to ride once in a while,start your
bike at least every two weeks and let it get all the
way up to operating temperature,IE: 180-190F.
You should still hook up to a Tender more so if
your storage is not heated.

If anybody has anything else relevant to add feel
free to do so.

If anybody needs help please PM me.
