Another Storage Question

 I'm going to be unable to ride for three or so months.

I planned on using fuel stabilizer, keeping the tank full, and running the
bike (stationary) every week or so to keep things moving.

I was going to keep it in the garage, since I'll be unable to mess around
with the cover.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thank you,

CS

"What you're proposing to do will involve a lot of time

 DON'T run it weekly or so! Either ride it far enough to warm it up normally
or leave it be. Charge battery as necessary. Starting and idling are the 2
hardest things on an engine.

 
What he said. It's OK if you warm it up properly without riding it,
mind. I do this with my 400 Four: fire it up, set it to a fast idle
(2000-2500 rpm) for maybe 20-30 minutes, or however long it takes to
get it nice and hot, and then shut down.

Just running it for a very short time will cause all the condensates
to be trapped in the engine, and not evaporate. Accelerated wear.

Great advice for water-cooled bikes, terrible for air-cooled.
