If you don't plan on using it...then fill the gas tank up with fuel and add some fuel stabilizer. The reason for filling the tank is to keep condensation from forming inside the tank and getting water in the gas. Get some engine fogger(its basically a lubricant) and, with the key off remove the spark plug(s) and spray some of the fog into the cylinder head(s), turn the engine over once or twice, spray some more fog into it, and replace the plug(s)...this is to prevent rust from forming on the inside of your engine while sitting. Remove the battery and store it on a piece of wood(so that if it does leak the acid will eat cement, or if its on dirt the acid will seep into the ground). Block it up so all the tires are off the ground( if they go flat or low the bead won't come off, and that's a pain in the butt to put back on). Grease any grease points, and check the oil and anti-freeze(if it's liquid cooled), and make sure the caps for both of those are on snug(again, to avoid condesation-the fuel cap is vented, so that's why you have to make sure the gas tank is full) Lastly get a cheap piece of plastic or a tarp and cover it to keep dust from getting into the air box(or if you're storing it outside...to keep the elements and sun off of it... and to deter critter from chewing on it throw some mothballs around it-you've invested the money in the four wheeler, might as well keep it looking good).

I just keep mine stored in my insulated barn, but if you're in a colder region you may need to do more, like add Stabil to your gasoline tank, but that gets beyond my knowledge and skill. God Bless you.
