yes, do drain the carbs but be careful if you do so by running the
engine out of gas. As the engine runs out of gas it get a leaner
mixture and runs hotter. This is not too much of a problem for a
fourstroke in winter but it will seize a twostroke but fast. I also
fill the gas tank and then throw the gas away in spring. An oil change
is a must. Lifting the bike off the tires is nice but not easy.
Batteries that are left without a charge develope sulfide deposits on
the plates rendering them useless so remove the cables and trickle
charge it once a month, or so.
