I live in Oklahoma and you don't want to move here.
Almost unbearable hot in summer, cold *** winters, tornadoes in the spring, rain in the fall.
I've been watching job listings in Vegas.
Hot in the summer yeah, but no humidity.. Cool nights and tons of stuff to do!

Chopman,
There are several schools of thought on this issue. The most commonly accepted method is:
1. Clean, Detail and Wax the bike thoroughly to remove road debris. Some people coat the chrome with WD40 or a similar product. Spray a little WD40 on your cable adjusters.
2. Remove any Leather products and store indoors.
3. Change all fluids, Engine Primary, Transmission. Your used oil is contaminated with Sulfur and Hydrocarbons.
4. Fill the Gas Tank Completely. The presence of fuel prevents moisture accumulation.
5. Add a Fuel Stabilizer. Important!
6. Run the bike until the stabilizer works through the system then close the petcock and allow the engine to die on its own when the carb empties.
7. Disconnect the Battery and if possible, store indoors. Use a battery tender. I charge my stored batteries once every 2 weeks.
8. Cover the bike with a proper Breathable Bike Cover.

I sure hope your fuel isn't going through your whole engine.

The only add on I have is that I would raise my bikes on a jack in order to keep my tires of the ground.
