I would strongly suggest do something with the fuel- either drain the tank completely empty or use a generous amount of fuel stabilizer. Also, right now replace the brake fluid and clutch hydro fluid if applicable. Put the battery on a trickle charger or just plan on buying a new one when you get back.

hello guys I wouldn't us ethe stabilizers, I think there are a lot of law suits going on against these right now. better off draining the gas or if it isn't EFI then run it dry. do not to so on EFI cause it can take the pump out running it dry. for the battery you would be better off with a battery tender than a charger. tender cuts on and off as needed, best way to store something is to start it and move it once a month later mark dearing
