Clean and oil your air filter, grease everything and you might want to jet up for the colder weather

^^^ You need to jet.
Basically what everybody said. Lube your chain after EVERY snow ride do to the snow/salt check your axle, hub, and lug nuts, grease every zurk and check your motor mount bolts, change to some narrow tall snow/mud tires.

Spay the under side of your fenders with pam or other cooking spay.It helps keep the snow from sticking and building up in your fenders.
if your stock... one up on the main jet, thats right from the clymers manual, if not stock may need to go up 2-3 mains,
Y'all have it covered, for the most part. Just one more thing. Be sure to let the engine warm up before gettin' on the throttle. 5 minutes or so should be good. Otherwise, you may 'cold seize' your engine.
OH. And don't forget the helmet!

If you have rear mechanical brakes,...uhh dont use them, I have had mine lock up from it been really cold! lmao
yup.. let it idle for 5 min, than when you go to ride ride nice threw all gears to get the gears lubed before wingin on it
pretty much everything has been said.. now a saftey percaousion dont ride a wheelie into a snow bank handelbars hurt the head and front bumpers hurt the back, still was a good day though
Just be safe and dont get to stupid, test out the snow first to see how slick it is. some snow will pack good and give decent traction and other snow is slick as ice. Also let your sire out of your tires to where they are almost no pressure and you'll get better traction. I ran about a pound and a half in my holeshot xc's and done great.
