Long term storage
#1
#2
These items come to mind for long term storage:
Run fuel stablizer through the system, drain the tank.
Climate controlled storage.
Remove the battery from the bike. Trickle charge should be checked once a week so its not a good idea to leave it unattended. You can charge the battery when you get back.
Bike Cover.
Above all else, be safe.

Here's a good read on gas. Looks like I was wrong about draining the tank as a previous poster stated as doing so can cause rust and other issues.

If you don't have anyone to check on your battery tender atleast weekly,
I'd pull the battery and store it in a warm dry area....and not on concrete.
Add some variety of a gas stabilizer. I also put 2" of styrofoam insulation
under each wheel and a 2" block of wood under my 'jiffy stand' too offset the
2" the wheels are elevated.
Drape a king-sized bed sheet over her and walk away....
