Wash and wax the bike. Heavily coat all rubber with a protectant like Armoral. I usually paint it on for long storage.
After that is done and the gas is treated... battery removed this final step is important for me.
Go to the store and buy knee high nylons, some mothballs, heavy duty hand clamps (looks like a heavy duty cloths pin) and a nice cover for the bike. Fill both nylons with a good amount of the mothballs. Hang one on the right side hand grip and the other on the left rear turn signal. Cover the bike. Make sure the tires are off the ground. Now you lay down on the ground and remove all slack in the cover between the center stand and front tire. I roll it up and use the hand clamp to secure it. Then do the same between the center stand and rear tire. basically you are trying your best to seal the bike in the cover as best you can. The mothballs will drive out all possible bugs and rodents from the bike.
I do have some moth balls left over from storing clothes, great idea, thank you
