Move to GA where you can ride year round. But seriously, put some stabil in the fuel, change the oil, and pull the battery out. Put the battery somewhere warm.

No winterizing for me and I live in OH...just ride whenever the weather clears...and if you cant ride let it run every few days.

Maybe we should add a sticky on winterizing. Bigbrew, look in the ninja 250 section and the 600 section. Some good reads.
