What to do when letting bike sit for three months?

[uglyducky]

what about sealing them with caswell?  would this help the plastic disaster that ducati has created with these crappy tanks? about to have speeddog try to retrofit a metal tank on the rs i just picked up cuz i hate those tanks sooooo much.

I guess part of the question should be - Where do you store your bike (climate, temperatures, humidity)?

I keep my bikes inside my house where it is nice and climate controlled and no excess humidity. I have not done anything to my bikes and recently had my ST2 sit from last August until about 3 weeks ago, my 1987 Ducati Paso 750 sit from last May until this May, and my wife's ST2 sit since last October until a few weeks ago and they all fired up and purred like kittens without a hitch. I usually keep them on battery tenders when not riding them, but don't do anything with the fuel. Heck, I had a 2-stroke weed eater sit in my Bike Room for two years waiting for my lazy butt to restring it, and with untreated fuel sitting in it for the full two years. It started on about the 7th pull with fresh pre-mix put in it (after the old stuff was dumped).
