I was thinking this was a thread reopened from last year. Get yourself the Gerbings gear and ride as long as the roads are clear. Winter storage? Forget about it.... Personally I get a kick of of the looks on peoples faces when I am riding with the temps in the teens and they have no idea how comfortable I am. What a buzz kill....

Dude I'm not that far from you and its 102F right now. 88F in Cleveland at the moment.
How is it getting close to winter storage for you????
To answer your question:
1) Top off the tank and use Stabil or Seafoam to preserve the gas.
2) Change the oil just before you put it away.
3) Air up the tires nice and high (A few pounds above recommended pressure).
4) Lube cables.
5) Put the bike up on a jack so the tires are up off the ground (or roll the bike to a new spot on the tires every month while stored).
6) Either remove the battery, or put the bike on a battery tender.
