What he said plus think about using a lift to take off most or all of he weight of the tires and suspension if it will sit for long periods. If you have to move it around every month or so its likely fine. I do this over the winter but likely unnecessary. I just revived a bike that sat for 9 years and it was fine sitting on the jiffy so my advice is crap.
Congrats on the new bike and dont neglect the old one. Ride it occasionally to remind you how nice the new bike is lol.
