After winter storage.

Reverse what was done to store the bike.

do a walk around, check all components visually (leaks, grease, dust, lube, etc), put in the battery, top up the blinker fluid, and giv'r.

Check your tire pressure.

*blinker fluid not mandatory

If you used fuel stabilizer, just ride until an empty tank, and put fresh fuel in.

35w or 55w for the ballast grease?

I know people that do this but I pull out the stabilised fuel out of the tank and put fresh in. I then mix the old stuff with the fresh in my cars gas tank and run it there. But thats just me. 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other

I make my own blinker fluid. Its realy just a solution of polarized tachyons suspended in a liquid amilnitrate compound. All you need is a Plasma injector and bussard injector that can be configured to use anti-protons as the stage 3 catalist.

Sounds complicated
I'm just going to take the blinkers of the bike and use my hands
 
In all seriousness, check your signals, headlight and taillight for functionality. Had a dead bulb in one signal after storage this year, currently riding with a temp clear bulb while I wait for my super specific amber RY10W BAU15S replacements to arrive :rolleyes:

time for LEDS ;)
 
yea my headlights both crapped out and i hadn't noticed until i got home sat from my day ride... luckily it was during the day or I would've been stranded. Just a fuse no biggie, but still something to check. I dont bother taking the fuel out, just ride it out... fuel is fuel.. its only been a few months and if its been stabilized it'll do fine for the few hundred k you're going to get out of it.
My de-winterizing:
-tire pressure
-Check fluid levels
-ensure lights/blinkers work
-let warm up much longer than normal
-ride a bit soft for a couple k, then give'r.. WOT works best to blow out anything that may have grown/accumulated
