I would  strongly suggest do something with the fuel- either drain the  tank
completely empty or use a generous amount of fuel stabilizer.
Also,  right now replace the brake fluid and clutch hydro fluid  if
applicable.
Put the battery on a trickle charger or just plan on  buying a new one when
you get back.

hello guys  I wouldn't us ethe stabilizers, I think there are a lot of  law
suits going on against these right now.  better off draining the gas or  if
it isn't EFI then run it dry. do not to so on EFI cause it can take the
pump  out running it dry.  for the battery you would be better off with a
battery  tender than a charger. tender cuts on and off as needed,   best way to
store something is to start it and move it once a month  later  mark  dearing
