Dont start it up unless you intend to ride it and get it hot before you put it away again. It takes a good 30 to 40 mile run in cold weather to get the oil hot enough to evaporate all the moisture in there. If you half warm it up then shut down all that nice water vapour condenses all over your nice shiny engine internal bits and rusts it away!
