What do I need to do

If my bike will not be ridden for about 4 or 5 weeks?

ie. what do I need to do for storage? disconnect battery? anything else?

Thanks

Depends on make and model.....

All really nice and interesting bikes need to be ridden frequently.

If you are in the Sydney area, I might be able to help you out....

run it with the petrol off till it runs out of juice. If you can't
turn the petrol off, then cross fingers the stuff won't gum up the
fuel system.

throw a cover over it, dust accumulates.

Pump up the tyres.

Oh, Zebee, just 'cos I'm too chicken to ride your new bike.......

I've left it for longer in the past and it seemed fine afterwards. The
battery died though on both occasions so I thought I better look into what
the best thing is to do.

 

600f4i.. I think I'd rather ask my brother to start her up a few times
(wouldn't trust him to take it out) but your offer is much appreciated.

 

Just disconnect it, or better yet, leave it on a trickle charger.

I understood that it was preferable, if possiable, to store the bike with
both wheels off the ground an to deflate the tyres.
I've been wrong in the past though, several times.

Storing long term - several months or more - its good to have both
off the ground. Doesn't hurt in short term, but pumping up works as
well.

5 weeks???

do nothing (maybe disconnect the battery)

if the battery dies in that amount of time you need a new one

just do a good pre-check before you ride

Pfft; you just buy another one when they're fucked don't you?
That's pretty much that way most Hondas are designed.
