My Ducati M620 has been in storage since last June with nothing more than a full tank of gas, a good dose of Stabil, and continuous connection to a Battery Tender, so it's been sitting untouched for nearly nine months. Wheeled it out this afternoon and it fired right up and idled perfectly, like it had been ridden yesterday. I was surprised and impressed. I let it sit until the oil temperature reached 230 degrees, to boil off any accumulated moisture, which took about 20 minutes (air-cooled engine), and then shut her off.
