All these tips are great and apply nicely ,i do excacly what TOOLS does was in Stevens Point,Wisconsin (15yrs)had three diffrent bikes and did the same to all But my "77" KZ 750 had to stay out in the dog kennel witch was attached to the garage (East side)dog could come in but bike stayed out there all winter.
  Other then doing as TOOLS said I took a 8'x 2"x4"wraped a lil bit of this 10x12 tarp and scewed it to the wall parked the bike on a peace of green ply-wood the ground was coverd in pavers(?) took the bottom rolled what was left after covering bike then scewed to the ply-wood, turn the handle bars(throttle) away from wall and be sure to leave it out of gear(cause your clutch will be hard to pull and will be pointing up tight into tarp,I had an outlet right there so never pulled the batt.but left on trickle charge always ,Did go put on a blanket across the tank n seat witch droped and covered engine, Also road the bike's at leased once a month if not more,but always started them when ever I thought of it and was out in shop,I'd try /did start the KZ before sleeping when I new it was going to be A bad cold that night (I sleep better)
