My Bike has been in the garage for two months with no gas in tank(drained for storage) and oil in bike with stabilizer. I am currently home for the holidays and was wondering if I could just ride my bike for a week and restorage it for 4 - 6 months before deployment.
1. I was wondering if I could just let the bike run, in order to drain the gas tank completely of gas and then just put the bike back up on the rear and front stands I bought.
Or
2. Will I have to have the bike totally re-winterized before I leave for 4 - 6 months

I'm a little scared about what you wrote!!!!! You have no fuel in the tank and put stabiliser in the Oil.....hope not!!!!!
You are supposed to put a bit of stabiliser in with a full tank of fuel and run the bike for a bit to let it get through the system, and ideally dump the oil and put some fresh oil in. The process is in your handbook that came with the bike. Back pages.
I suggest you change the oil, get a tank of fuel and re-do the process for storage.
