Last year I gave it a good wash, emptied all the gas out and took the battery out and put it in the corner. Threw some gas in it once the nice weather hit and the battery and it was good to go.

This year will be a little different. Oil change,lube the chain, drain the gas, take out the battery, a good wash and then up on some stands along with being covered.
