Here's what you gotta do:
Park it.
that's it. winterization complete!
WD40 is not a lubricant, so don't use it as one. just park the damn bike and don't touch it until spring.

Heres some slightly more helpful info: your users manual has everything you should do and the frequency in it. Honda spent a lot of time putting it together, so its just as well to use it.

just unhook the battery so the clock doesnt drain it.
make sure the chain is lubed so it doesnt rust with actual chain lube.
wash the bike to get all the road gunk off
you technically dont have to put stabil in gas anymore. it wont hurt though. i like to drain my tank as much as i can just because its not doing any good just sitting there in the tank

geez guys can we not talk about this yet or at least until after thanksgiving, your bringing me down 
The weather here in MI is bringing me down. We got a Canadian system swirling over us for the next 4 days at least.... followed by a day or two of overcast w/broken sun... and then back to crap.  I'm already itchy to get out on the bike. Cars suck.

I don't know if people are getting dumber or I'm becoming increasingly impatient while trapped in a cage, but it seems like driving is just becoming increasingly burdened with me yelling "WTF are you doing?" at people. Earlier, I watched a woman pull up and stop at a major intersection approx 10 seconds after her turn arrow had ceased. The cars on the other side were just starting to move... and she goes for it.... slowly. Taking her sweet time. Unbelievable.

should I respond with "Fuk off", or "Go to hell"... hmm, decisions decisions...
How much more USEFUL information is there to be had about winterizing a motorcycle? You don't NEED to do JACK SH.IT to make it through even a Wisconsin winter... I think the most USEFUL information about winterizing any internal combustion engine, regardless of what it's mounted into is: DO NOT FUKKING TOUCH THE DAMN THING UNLESS YOU ARE WELL AND FULLY PREPARED TO USE IT AS GOD INTENDED. way, way, WAY too many people over think storage, especially WINTER storage... and to be honest it's really starting to irritate me more and more every single god damn year. Clean the chain, pfft... what, cleaning the chain every 500 miles isn't good enough? Over kill, unnecessary, leave it for when you care next spring. Stabilizing fuel... you got to be fukking kidding me... what is this, 1960? Gasoline has changed about as much as synthetic oil has since the 80's. you don't need to stabilize the damn gas. believe me, it'll be just as clean and just as explosive in the spring as it was in the late to early winter when you stopped riding. Change the oil... fine, change the oil... IF IT NEEDS IT. these retards who drop expensive and perfectly good oil and replace it with some cheap crap they found at Fleet Farm, only to drop THAT oil in the spring and replace it with new $14/qt oil from France need to hung from a gallows with a firing squad below. what the hell is wrong with you people?! That oil was perfectly fine to leave in there over winter! you're worried that the oil is acidic? Unless you get your oil tested for acidic value, you're guessing and are most likely wrong. if it needs replacement because it's close to your OCI, change it and leave it in there until your next OCI. if it isn't then leave it. don't over think it. Wash the bike... yeah... whatever. LIFTING THE TIRES OFF THE GROUND SO THEY DON'T FLAT SPOT. Look, will one of you who have had this exact thing happen where you leave the bike rest on the side stand over winter show me a picture of these so called flat spotted tires? One of you? Any takers? No? Doth you exist at all? My guess? Probably not. It's never happened to anything i've ever owned with wheels to include a host of motorcycles, cars, trucks, and trailers belonging to family friends who haven't the storage space. not a single time. Not once has any of the tires developed flat spots over winter. it's a bullschit story the came from the 60's and never disappeared. Take the battery out. Sure, if you want. in 6 months time it's still gonna need a recharge before it'll start the bike so why bother? battery tender? Never used one. i see absolutely no reason to start either. The OEM battery JUST got replaced on my brother's CBR600F2 2 years ago. purchased new back in 94. He never (nor does) owned a tender or maintained it over winter. lasted over 10 years. Fogging the Cylinders... what you're not satisfied with the quickness that the engine's oil pump delivers oil to the rings when you start it? what nonsense drives these replies? do you guys really even think anymore? does anyone think anymore?!
god gerialgalkjsgjggggajkshdlmnbbboi;uawwwrf............... just.. uhhh!
no wonder people are always so stressed out. they make life hugely complicated for themselves and everyone around them...
Now that's a lot to read. if you don't like to read, have your computer speak it. it may do a better job at reading it than some of you...
crashkhanman , I hope all that answers your question...
