tips for storing for the season?

anyone got any advice for what to do with these bikes for storing them for the season? thanks.

 

OMC fogging oil in thru the plug holes and take your battery inside AND charge it at least monthly .. using the Right charger (not an automotive charger

 

Move south. Then you won't have to worry about winter at all. ;-)

 

I got a whole ritual I perform. Cardboard on the floor, filled gas tank, supply line from petcock to carbs removed, petcock outlet sealed with short blocked-off gas line, Armoral festival, WD-40 festival, wax job, exhaust pipe condensation ports probed and shot-up with some WD-40,
vinyl hose run to airbox intake, run engine until it just about stalls from being out of gas -- then, spraying WD-40 into the vinyl hose to keep the engine running for a bit (actually runs pretty good on the WD-40), pull the fuel bowl drains, shoot carb cleaner in there until it flushes, (use a 7-11 Slurpie straw as an extension for the carb cleaner red tube), shoot the fuel bowl with WD-40, put the screws in my special place for them in my toolbox, when its cooled-off -- I spray the top of the exhaust collector with ... (you guessed it) ... WD-40. [I would buy WD-40 Cologne] Pull the battery and store it in the laundry room on a home-brew tender, then I pull the plugs, add however much Marvel Mystery Oil fits in the little black "funnel-things" I steal from the rack where the Doctor hangs his look-in-your-ear" viewer, pop the side cover off, jack-over the engine a couple times, and then I begin to cry for close to five months and three weeks!

 

Here I am living in an area where riding is usually possible all year round and my bike is still not running.

You can also do a good old Google search for "motorcycle winter storage" and you'll get hundreds of hits that basically are the same as the above.
