Make sure you've always got fresh gas in it. If you're going to leave your bike for awhile, then fill it up with a full tank of gas and add Sta-Bil (available at any chain autoparts store).
If it's rusted already, I don't know.

Keep it full of gas to prevent rust from forming. Rust removal is whole nuther topic.

So are you asking what to do if there's rust already, or how to prevent it?

keep it full of a non-oxygenated liquid to displace any gaseous oxygen. Gasoline is a convenient choice.
