Default Bike care while on military leave

Hey all I’m new to this forum, but I’m looking for tips for getting my bike ready go sit for about 4 months. I ride a cbr 1000rr and it will be garage kept, on front and back stands, and I’m gonna add sta bil right before I leave. I’ve ridden about 1000 miles since the last oil chang, so do you all recommend I change the oil since it will be sitting or just leave it? Any others tips will be helpful as well. Thanks!

Change the oil when you get back. The biggest issue will be the battery. A battery tender would be good, but I would also disconnect it.

4 months isn't really that long for a bike to sit.
