Hello Ducatisti,
I wonder if you could give me some simple advice on how to best store my beloved Ducati 696 for 3 months.

I don't think I'm going to unmount the battery (below the tank) or remove the tank, but beside that I can do some simple things.

Should I have a filled tank ? Should I add fuel stabilizer ?
Should I use the killer switch ?

Suggestions are very welcome!!

cheers

Fuel stab, yup. I'd fill the tank.

I'd also remove the battery and put it on a maintenance charger.

Or you could just ship it to me for safe keeping from the cold.  ;D
