Worst possible thing you can do, you will end up with a rusty tank. If you use the sta bil in your tank, just run the engine or ride around for 15 to 20 minutes then brim the tank off.
How long is "long Term"
Always store your bike with fresh oil in it
Get the tyres off the ground
push the pads away from the discs
You can pull the plugs and squirt some oil into the bores and turn over a few time before refitting the plugs
Disconnect the battery or use an optimate
give the bodywork a good polish
cover the brakes with plastic bags and give everything a good coating of ACF50
If you have room to get around the bike use a VAC bag to seal it off from the elements (even in a garage) or cover with soft towels and cloths and a bike cover
