I have an FZ6 so there is no alarm which used to trash the battery on my old FZS6 I have an optimate now and will keep it on trickle charge.
I did read somewhere that you should put it on the centre stand and put a piece of polystyrene under the front tyre - cant remember why- cold floor or something.
So the brakes dont seize up I tend to ride mine occassionally through the winter on sunny cold days where the salt is not on the roads. I tend not to wash it before I put it away as the discs allways seem to get very rusty until you next take it out.
I also over lubricate the chain as that will just sit there through the winter- probably doesnt do any good but makes me feel better!
I like to ride on cold winter days so its no problem for me to keep the bike free and ready for when I ride out in the spring and I havent lost all my riding skills over winter- but you said you had a winter hack (is that insulting of your FZS?) so you probably still ride that.
I wonder if anyone has done a study into the relationships between accidents and bikers whi have had a winter lay off from riding?
