Why not just wander out to the garage and fire it up once in a while? I don't let any of my stuff sit too long,they lot rot (old dealership term for a car that sits too long)..

it's important to toss the WD-40 in the trash,

I'm with you on that !

Now there is comment on winterizing the fuel tank. Top it off with Sea-Foam well mixed into the fuel. The 'more fuller' the better. Run the motor with the Sea-Foam mix and shut off the fuel and let the engine die. Take out the sparklers as mentioned previously, dump some ATF in each hole and spin the engine over. Reinstall the sparklers. Slow charge the battery just for the heck of it and you're done. Do what you like as far as putting it off the tires or not.
Mouse proofing it may be a good idea.

I was going overseas for 9 months. So I gave my motorcycles a good shower of WD40 before I left. When I got home they were both rusted.

Exactly. You're not blaming WD40 though. Right?
