 Richard,

if you have time and like staying with your bike, I recommend additional
actions like

- changing the engine oil since acidic components are formed out of the oil
while the engine is running;
- filling the tank up to the very top to avoid condensation and rust inside the
tank;
- removing petrol from the careburettors (can bei simply done by closing the
fuelline and running the engine until it dies from the lack of petrol -->
before changing the oil);
- thouroughly cleaning the whole bike and putting wax (polish) on the painted
parts;
- put approx. 1 bar additional pressure in your tires;
- put the bike on the main stand and put something under the holms so that both
tires do not contact earth;

and - if you really love your battery -

- charge the battery every month and empty it (for example with and old
frontlamp) before every recharging.

Best regards,
Markus
