Rather than draining the fuel out and emptying the tank, another recommended option is to totally fill it to make the air space in the tank as small as possible and eliminate condensation (water) forming in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer, run it for a while to circulate that into the carb, and change the oil before storing it. Lube the chain with whatever you want so it doesn't sit and get rusty. Clean and wax it up before you lay it up, it's easier to clean if off in the spring if it just sits in a corner somewhere for many months. Check the tires pressure, roll it around a little every few weeks. Charge up the battery periodically with a battery tender or small output charger. Start it up and run it for 10 - 15 min once every week or two.
Many more tips on here if you search a little.
