What csmith12 said.

The thing about periodic starts during off-season storage is that the bike has to get good and warm to cook off any moisture that's formed due to condensation.

Put stabilizer in with your end-of-season fillup and run long enough to get it through the system (e.g. ride home from the gas station), do chain maintenance while it's still warm (so you won't forget), clean up the bike, put it on stands, plug in the battery tender and walk away. I guarantee it'll fire right up the following spring and be ready to rock.
