Default will it keep starting up?

I have YFZ 450, and I havent ridden it in about 5 weeks, it just sits in my shop.Even though it doesnt get very cold in salem OR., low at night is about 28-35 degrees. Am I ruining my fourwheeler?, what should I do to keep it running strong if i dont have time to ride it.Please answer, i really need some advice.

My best guese would be to start it say, 1 a week like a car should be, and maybe throw an automatic charger on the battery...... I dunno, I ride mine 2-3 times a week.

It shouldnt hurt nothin. Just let it warm up for a while and then clean the crap out of it.

You'll be fine. It would be a good idea to put some (gas saver, I forgot the name of it, help me out guys)
It will keep your gas from gumming up in your carb.

start it up once a week and let it warm up......gas it up a couple times and let it return to normal idle and shut it off. that's how i kept my rappy over the past few weeks when it was raining/snowing and just miserable outside.
