Keep the tires off cold cement or out of the cold period, put them on carpet or something nice if the bike is in a garage, if not then it won't kill your tires, just lessens the life. The big thing is to top the tank off, add fuel stabilizer, then let the bike run for a few minutes to get it into the carbs. After that you are set. If it is outside storage I recommend greasing your caliper sliders and the chain. Other than that, it should be fine.

+1 on what Dissevered said, but also might want to put a motorcycle battery trickle charger on it so the battery doesn't go bad.
