1) I would fill the tank to the top & add the proper amount of Seafoam for 5.5 US Gal. Start the bike up and allow it run for a few minutes to ensure the seafoam fuel mixture made it through the injectors.
2) Put the bike on front and rear stands.
3) Place a battery tender on the battery.
4) Cover it up with a breathable motorcycle cover.

Do you have anyone that could go fill it up with gas and add some stabil/seafoam?
I'de be concerned with surface rust in the tank after sitting for 6 months.

I fill mine and put in Sta bil. I put a trickle charger on it and I use front and rear stands to get the tires off the ground. I also wash, wax and cover it. I do this for all my bikes in my garage. When possible I start them during winter and let run for a while.

If you have stands it's a good idea as mentioned to put the bike on them. Sitting for that long in one spot isn't good for the tires.:beerchug:
