Are you talking about ur R1? If so just change the oil, add dry gas and you should be fine if your going to start it every week. Lube everything too.

worst thing you can do for it is to start it up once in a while, it just fouls the plugs and puts wear on the engine

change your oil, flush your coolant and replace with liquid performance or equivilant, fill it completely with fresh gas and the proper amount of sta-bil, run it long enough for the mixture to reach the injectors, take the battery out and leave it on a battery tender, and not on a concrete floor, check your tire pressure every few weeks and move it a little so it doesnt sit in the same spot, or better yet put it on a stand, flush your brake fluid to get all the moisture out, and take out the plugs and spray a little wd-40 in the holes with the extension tube, then hand thread them in (replace them in the spring). thats about all you need to store it up to 6 months.
