I know that many will have to store the ride for winter. So you don't really need to ask what should I do, here is a run down of what I did.
My bike will be stored in a large tent-like garage so it will have to cope with all the normal temp changes of our winter. That could range from -40C to 10C. So I have to be thorough.
Here she is done for the season. I got to ride down a nice muddy secondary road to get it to my buddy's shop. I will not wash it though. For me there is no guarantee that it will dry thoroughly. With thawing and freezing temps coming its way I'd rather not have any water sitting in it anywhere. It'll still be dirty in the spring.
Change the oil. As oil is used it picks up contaminants. Some of these can turn acidic while sitting and cause corrosion. If you did nothing else, change the oil in it. These strap wrenches work great for small filters in tight spots.
Some may disagree but I don't warm it up before draining oil. The oil has been draining into the pan since I shut it off last. It's as drained as it will get. Warming it can only force the old oil through the motor. It'll drain fine, just be patient.
While it drains I will add some fuel stabilizer. Probably really don't need it for how I will store it, but better safe than sorry.
New filter and a jug of good stuff. Now I'll run it to circulate fresh oil through the motor and check for leaks. This also gets the fuel stabilizer through the whole fuel system.
Now, I'll remove the tank which I'll store at home where it won't get condensation from temp changes. This old girl is carbed so the float bowls get drained (sorry, the picture didn't turn out.). The only fuel still in the bike is the filter and pump, plus it has stabilizer in it.
Check the anti freeze strength. It will get cold where I'll store it. Wouldn't want to find out in spring that the anti-freeze was weak.
Remove the battery. It would be a virtual guarantee that the battery would be shot if I leave it in there.
May as well service the air filter now.
Pump up the tires. Put it near max listed on the tire. That pressure will drop when cold and this will help avoid flat spots from sitting.
This is how she'll go away. I'll store the seat at home with the tank. This will avoid having it get cracked in the cold. All someone has to do is put something on the seat at -30 and bad stuff can happen.
Now there is no excuse to just park it and hope for the best come spring.
], now give me mine back!! Ahh, what a sweet ride. 
What a horrible crash sound I heard in the garage. I confirmed today while warming her up on the center stand. Plenty of wheel torque to roll the bike forward before she's at least up to 130 degrees. Can't ride, but at least I get to hear her running.
