Winterizing my bike?

[Lashes]

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me and tell me what to do to winterize my bike. It's my first winter owning it so any advice would help! Thanks!

Don't say the W word.

I put it on stands, add stabilizer to a full tank and let it run for a bit and put the battery on the battery. You can also remove the battery and store it in the house and it's supposed to stay charged that way too.

Man...that sucks. Our temps just getting right...58 in the morning, and 80's in the evening. Almost needed a liner this morning, but I knew I'd regret it on the way home.

It would be nice if we could have a "Winterization" sticky... if someone wanted to write one.
