Since you have decided to stop riding for the next 9 months you will have plenty of time for maintenance. To ensure proper maintenance you will need to completely dismantle entire motorcycle. Please make sure you lable all parts. Thoroughly clean and lubricate each part. Then store all parts in a warm dry area. Make sure you keep track of how long this procedure takes since it will take you 2 or 3 times that long to reassemble the bike next spring in time for riding next summer.

I decided to put the bike away early since I need new tires and a number of other things. I am also not really the type to ride when it gets cold out. The bike will be back out in April I'm sure so its really not a big deal. As for maintenance goes, I'm not going to rip apart the whole bike and make a mess. I would prefer to do one thing at a time and take my time with it. Thanks for your input though!
