Search for storage tips.

But, I don't think you'll have to do anything extraordinary. Make sure it's kept covered, give it a good wash/wax, fill the tires and the gas.
You could remove the battery and put it on a tender.

Usually, these tips are for extended periods of storage.
Good luck

Ok thanks for the help

One of my friend took out one of the battery cable for a month. When he came back, it started with no problems.

Yep...all I would do are the following...

Add another 10 PSI of air to your tyres.
Disconnect NEGATIVE Battery Terminal.

That is about all, I would not bother with any fuel-tank conditioner, I really believe you are better off leaving less gas in the tank (low) and then just filling up with fresh gas when you are ready to use.

For one month you may not have to do anything at all... maybe a battery tender.
I leave mine over the winter with a battery tender and fuel stabilizer. Six months and it starts right up every time.

If you don't disconnect the terminal (or put a trickle charge on/tenderer..which is not really necessary for just one month) the chances are you will have a dead battery as the immobiliser will drain battery in around 3-4 weeks.

If you are going away battery disconnection is the best way, I am not one for leaving anything connected to a car, turned on with no one home to monitor it.

Dr. Evil: No no no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What?
