Ethanol in our gas can also be a real problem. Ethanol is a powerful solvent. They say and rust or gunk in your tank can get disolved and get into filters, clogging them up. It will also absorb water that would otherwise usually stay in the bottom of your tank. Maybe check fuel filter.

I am hoping you are kidding. But in case you aren't.

1. Fully charge the battery

2. If you can get it started run some fuel treatment/injector cleaner through it.

3. Properly prepare the bike for an extended downtime!

Cheers.
