What is the proper way to store a Ninja 250 for 2-3 months?

I won%26#039;t be there to turn it on or to ride it.|||Thats not a very long period of time, I stored mine for 6 months with just stabilizer. I didn%26#039;t even disconnect the battery. The only problem at the end of storage was that a mouse built a nest right in front of the air filter. I cleaned it out and it started right up. Just use stabilizer and disconnect the battery, theres no need to go through a long process.|||Just drain the gas out. or put Sta-ble in the fuel tank. Disconnect the battery.|||2-3 months is nothing. All you have to do is disconnect the battery. You can add that fuel stuff if you want to but even that is unnecissary. Just fill it with 93 octane when you%26#039;re ready to ride again and it will be fine.|||Here is a web site that covers all of the details:

Read it for all of the details, but here is a highlight of the list:





# 1) Find a place to store it, get the tools you%26#039;ll need


* Sheltered from the elements, away from chemical fumes and ozone.


* Get the chemicals you need -- gas stabilizer, any cleaning supplies.


# 2) Run the bike, fill the tank, stabilize the gas


* Take the bike out for a ride, and swing by a gas station on your way home.


# 3) Change the oil


* Do this while the engine is still hot -- it gets more junk out.


# 4) Put bike on stands


* If you can, take the weight off the tires.


# 5) Spray fogging oil in cylinder(s)


* Used to keep the rings and cylinder walls from rusting.


# 6) Cover intake/exhaust with bags


* While the bike is warm, cover the air box snorkels and exhaust pipe.


# 7) Final fuel system checks


* If your bike has one, switch the petcock off.


# 8) Remove and charge the battery


* Take the battery out of the bike for charging.


# 9) Wash, dry, and wax dry the bike


* Wash and wax the bike. Get all the corrosive road salt and chemicals off it.


# 10) Protect the bike%26#039;s exposed metal


* Spray the bike%26#039;s exposed metal parts (but not the brakes!!) to prevent rust/corrosion.


# 11) Lock it up


* Lock it up so it doesn%26#039;t get stolen!


# 12) Cover It


* Cover the bike with a breathable material that will keep dust off.

All the others go too far, it%26#039;s spring, not winter.
