as far as a battery tender it honeslty isnt going to make you battery last longer so save your money and take your battery out as for me i never take it out i just turn my kill switch to off and the bike always starts next spring just fine...as for stands if you plan to change them at the begining of next season dont worry about stands only thing you really stands for is b/c theres a chance after sitting all winter you might get a flat spot on your tire. As far as fluids...you can drain the gas but it isnt necessary however since your garage isnt heated top it off or empty it b/c you dont want condensation building up in the tank and then start it turn your gas valve to off to burn all fuel out of the carbs...one of my bikes is carbuerated...dont add anything to it cuz it will sit there and clog your jets...trust me i learned my lesson there...and last but not least...a fresh oil change is always a plus
