I'm about to store mine for winter. What I do is throw it on jack stands so the brakes can't seize up, start it every couple days and let it run til warm idle (fan kicks on), spin the wheels to make sure the pads don't rust to the rotors, and that's about it...

While it's on the stands, I'll throw it into gear, rev it to about 20mph, pop it out of gear, and then brake lightly. It helps to make sure the calipers don't seize.
