Another thing to do would be to run the proper amount of SeaFoam through your fuel system, to dry it out, and to dissolve any light varnish deposits within it.  Wal-Mart sells it for around $9 per can.  It will absorb water, dissolve varnish, and stabilize the gas for up to 12 months.  I try to run it through the fuel system every month, during the riding season, as a preventative measure.

I would also recommend adding it to the crankcase, once every 20,000-40,000 miles.  It will dissolve carbon deposits, varnish, and other crud, which will be captured by the oil filter.  Check the oil color before, add it, then run it for five minutes, either riding, or on the centerstand, shifting through all gears, to thoroughly flush the transmission, too.  Check the oil:  when it turns black, change it, and the filter.  Cheers!
