Maybe overkill for you, but I`ll just keep doing what works for me.

Besides the good advice of sta-bil, clean, battery tender and steel wool..I also pick up several of the sticky mouse traps. Place them where ever the bike makes contact with the ground. I use about 4-6 around the each tire and 2-3 around the side stand. Prevents the mice from getting up on the bike and enjoying a favorite food of theirs....WIRES!
