Make sure the coolant is up to spec if it is liquid cooled, I like to either put in fuel stabalizer and run it thru or drain it completetly so you don't gum up anything.. I also like to get the tires up off cold cement... Lube up your chain good, if chain driven... etc..

If you dont have both front and rear stands, you gotta roll it every once in a while so you dont get flat spots on your tires.
