I am getting ready to store my bike for the winter and I am a little unsure about a few things..

what I will be doing
-storing inside my garage for only about 3 months (doesnt get super cold here either)
-filling gas tank and putting in stabilizer

unsure but will likely do
-in my owner manual it says to put new oil in as last thing to do and not start it after. Then it says when I want to take it out of storage to take that oil out and put new oil in again. is this necessary? if it is necessary, can i just put cheap oil (maybe even car oil) in it if guaranteed i will never start it until after i drain it again in the spring.
-can keep the oil i have in it now through the winter?
-is it 100% necessary to take the battery out and charge it every once in a while?
-if i do these things will it be ok or do i have to do more?

on a side note
i put 100% synthetic oil in bike for riding just because i want the best but if i put like semi synthetic to save a few bucks will it make a difference?

Has anyone installed a newer headlight high beam switch (left handlebar) which would have a DIP switch which enmables you to pull the high beam on and off at will without flicking the high beam togle switch on? The newer Busa's have them and I'd like to see what's required to convert to newer switch gear.
