 Full tank, an oz or two of Amzoil synthetic 2 stroke oil in the gas. Small amount of Seafoam too. Battery maintainers a couple times.  Center stand. Heated shop well above 40*F all winter.  I try not to open overhead doors except when I have to.

I like to do a ton of cooking, baking especially during the winter. It's also a great time for me to catch up on gunsmithing because there's not a lot of precision rifle shooting going on while it's -15 F outside and 25mph wind every day for two full months, so make fun of my delicate little scones and lovely moist cakes at your own peril. 

This winter I'll probably be spending a little more time working on the CB550 though because I have a few touch-ups I want to perform that will take it off the road for a while.

No fun to be made of in something you enjoy. The wife and I took to The Great British Baking Show pretty hard last year and had to try as many of the recipes as we could eat.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.
