You may want to check your coolant make sure it is mixed for the low temps it may see during the winter.

Mine is parked in a heated garage but I would be tempted to drain and replace all oils in case water unknowingly got into a diff or something.

a mouse will love that new home they like airboxes especially and even a tail pipe makes a nice safe home.put some steel wool in the pipe.put the seat somewhere safe,and put something to remind you that there is a piece of steel wool in your pipe..i learnt the hard way wash it before you put it away the mud gets like concrete over a year,cover it if possible ya know someones gonna throw something on it.:beer:

If your not riding it all winter you might want to put fuel stabilizer in the tank or drain it completely.... Makes it way nicer to start come spring..... Fuel only stays good for 3-4 months.
