Winter Bike Storage?

Hey all, yes yes I know there'll be thread somewhere...

...so would some be ever so kind and point me in the right direction, or, how would you go about storing your bike over winter?

I've read the Haynes manual, but the sparkplugs are a pain to get to on the CBR, so do I really need to take them out and turn the engine over with fresh oil in the cylinders?

Begging for age old advice again!

Cheers,
Bokki

Re: Winter Bike Storage

I'm not going to ride my bike over the winter so I sought advice from one of the very few people I trust. On here but I won't embarrass him (again)...

he said clean the bike ( eek!) cover all metal bits with something oily ( WD40 was mentioned), take the battery out then cover it up.

I can just about comply with those instructions so that's what I'm going to do!
