One more thing I would sometimes do is pull the plugs and spray in a little fogging oil and then move the bike around a little in 5th gear, thereby moving the pistons, and then put the plugs back in. A little overkill, but for those who like overkill it's one more thing to do.

Funny topic; I did mine yesterday! I took a long ride and emptied the tank. ON the way home I stopped for gas. The 5 gal FB tank would use 1OZ of Stable and I use just a bit more. USE THE BLUE STABLE: it is "Marine" but it is made to deal with the Ethanol, etc and is a far better product than the standard for all winterization. We use it in the toy cars too. Anyway after that, either a trickle charger or pull the batteries as stated above. Then cover it so you won't be tempted to ride on ice!
