For $250.00, my dealer picks it up, stores it covered in their 70 degree warehouse and returns it in the spring. You can't go wrong....

I have more than one vehicle that may be laid up in the garage for months at a time without moving. The garage is unheated and sweats. Never had a problem. I don't see the need to spray oily crap all over a bike being stored unless maybe you are parking it outside under a cover.
