I dont think it'll be too bad, change the oil, battery, spark plugs maybe...get all the dust off...make sure nothing is living in it, should be ok...just make sure all your fluids are there and clean

Put fuel stabilizer in the tank, an ounce per gallon will keep the fuel fresh, so you can store it with fuel in the tank. Either that or you must drain the carburetors (1 per cylinder for an inline engine). This will save you an expensive repair to get it goin again.





Also find a battery charger designed to use on small motorcycle batteries, and hook it up your your battery, so it doesn't discharge and go flat on you. With those two precautions, it should only need more air in the tires when you get back, and a good wash. (Put a cover on it to keep it like new.)
Reply:Fill it up all the way and make sure the fuel has stabilizer. Run it for a few minutes so the stabilizer propagates the entire fuel system. Take the battery out and leave it on a battery tender. Change the oil before you go because the used oil contains acids that will corrode the metals.
Reply:Here's a good site. I would remove the battery and just give it to someone....plan on getting a new one when you return. Definitely drain fluids, change oil, keep it in a dry corner of the garage (I'd keep mine in my bedroom, but that's just me)...air up the tires...cover it...if you must keep it outdoors, I'd cap the exhaust and other holes to keep bugs out





Ride safe!
