Long Term Parking

Should a bike be parked on a mat or plywood of some sort or can it be parked, long term, on the bare concrete of a garage ?? Should it be stored jacked up ?? I'm looking at storing it for 5 -6 months. Thanks

In your bedroom with down pillows under the tires and surrounding it covered with silk sheets.

Or you can keep it in my garage and I'll keep it in shape for ya.

Lift it up off the tires, Change all fluids, fog the cylinders and put a battery tender on it. Fog the cylinders is an option in my opinion. You are asking about something we up north do most every year. At least most of us up here!
