1993 virago 750, running fine with yamaha ring clean in the gas.  Do I need to do anything else to winterize my bike other than starting it from time to time and letting it run?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would suggest using a fuel stabilizer like Stabil in the fuel tank. Also a good idea to add some SeaFoam to the fuel to keep the corrosion down in the tank and keep the carbs clean. I use a 1/2 can in a full tank. Then keep your tank full to prevent moisture collecting. I always start and run my bikes enough to warm them up at least once per month. More often if possible. This keeps condensation from happening in the crankcase.
