Many thanks for those helpful suggestions, I was wondering about emptying an aerosol of Mr. Sheen wax over the old girl, and I'd forgotten that tdc is the best resting place.

Pull up your speedometer cable rubber boot and fill it up with axle grease, cuz if rain water seeps in there while you're gone, by the time you get back, your tranny will be gone.

I like Jesus, but I also like Buddha and Mohammad.

I prefer to empty the tank completely and leave it open for a few days to dry out (taking care that nothing falls inside).
That is how I have stored my bike the last 30 years.

I too have done that on occasion, but I coated the inside with non-detergent oil as well.
