basically, can anyone school me on the Do's & Don'ts of a proper, long-term motorcycle storage? this is going to be significantly longer than winter-storage (i usually only store for 4-6wks), and i'd rather not have to worry about asking family to come start it/let it run occasionally, unless it's significantly better for the bike.
i'd imagine washing and waxing it before covering it, putting it up on stands, plugging the airbox/exhaust pipe, pulling the battery, coat all the engine bits in WD-40, clean and wax the chain... all the standard winterization stuff.
i've heard about some people filling the oil all the way to the top of the crankcase reservoir (just remember to drain it before trying to crank it!). would filling the tank to the brim with stabilized fuel and letting it run through the system be a good idea or a bad idea? or is it better/worse to drain the tank? good idea to pull the spark plugs and drip heavy weight oil into the cylinders?
appreciate any/all feedback
