Is winter a good time to work on the bike?

I was originally thinking that winter would be the perfect time to clean my carbs, and possibly redo some seals (seem to be leaking some oil).

Now I'm not so sure.  I just put seafoam in the tank and filled it up.  Battery will be coming out tonight.  It was already on its last legs though, so I'll probably just buy a new one at the beginning of next season.

Will I be causing any problems if I drain the fluids from the carbs, engine etc?  My bike has a difficult time starting when it's cold, so I doubt that firing it up for at least 3 months will be easy (I'm in Canada).
