Just like I do everyday. Park it in the garage on carpet, cover her up, but over the winter I put both bikes on a battery tendor and start them and let them run about once a month. I also fill the tanks and put Seafoam in the fuel.

Atta boy!! I highly recommend the heated gear. It's so much better than putting on all the extra clothes.

I store it close to the garage door. That way any day the temps get up over 40 degrees and there isn't salt on the road I can take her out for a ride.

However, a battery tender, fresh oil, and fuel stabilizer are decent insurance.
