Fuel Stabilizer in the tank, keep the tank full (if possible), and put a battery tender on it.
You want to keep the tank full, especially in Hawaii, salt air inside the tank might cause rust inside. And grief when you get back.
Stay safe on the deployment.:thumbsup:

Stay safe and come back whole, Scott!
Maybe I could come over to Hawaii and ride it for you a couple of times while you are gone....... Email me for info on where you can send the plane tickets.... I can also keep your wife happy if you need! (Just kidding on the wife part, but not on the riding part!)
Good luck, Scott!

It's best to change your oil if you are going to let it sit for a while. If you don't, make sure you change the oil before you start the bike.
