My personal view is just leave it alone with petrol in. I do this and have never had a problem with all the bikes/lawn mowers/chain saws etc I have ever had. If its got carbs then definatelt drain them (or run the engine dry). IMO starting once a week is a bad idea (unless you are going to ride it) as nearly all engine wear happens on cold starts. Turning the engine a little every month would be a good idea to stop the belts getting a set. I do, however, always take it easy on the first Spring ride until the old petrol is burnt off.
