Sportsman 800 EFI Sitting for some time

![Question](https://atvconnection.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
My sportsman was sitting for a few months and I do not know how long before that. So I was going to do the following:
Am I missing anything here?
Drain remaining fuel in tank.
Fill with SUPER unleaded and Sea Foam injector cleaner.
Air filter looked good, so not sure if needed.
Change engine oil and filter. Looked ok but not taking chance.
New battery.
I do not know if it is going to start I have not run it yet. It has low miles so I do not expect anything earth shattering.

My ATVs are parked for 6 months at a time every winter.
All I do is turn the gas back on and go for the season.
The fluids only get changed when it looks like it needs it.
Have been doing it that way for 17 years without a issue. Sitting does not seem to hurt anything and they are and always were carbed ATVs.
EFI should be even better at sitting.
Snowmobiles get the same treatment during the spring,summer and fall.
