Markus,
I agree with Mike. Since you can't drive it anyway during the winter, why don't you just put it away properly and take it out when spring comes? Put it up on blockes, do as Mike says with some other things included like putting Stabil in the gas, fogging oil in the cylinders, put it up on stands, etc. Do a search. There have been a bunch of threads on the tech side regarding winter storage that will give you lots more suggestions.
