Keep it full of synthetic oil that is designed for use in scooter injection systems. Do a plug chop to make sure it isnt running to rich/lean so you get maximum life and performance out of it.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
If it does not have a gas filter on it you may want to install one to help the carb from getting little dirt particles in it. I do not know exactly how yours is set up but a small filter installed in the gas line between the carburetor and the vacuume valve is a good place to put it. Make sure you put stabil gas treatment in the gas tank before you store the bike for the winter. Run the bike for 5 minutes or so after you put the stabil in to get it to flow throughout the fuel system. Letting a bike sit, without running it for even a month without gas treatment in it, can cause the carburetor to gum up inside and cause all kinds of problems.
