So I was planning on filling and "stabil"ing my gas tank this winter, like I hear everyone say to do, when i got thrown a curveball on the subject. I wanted to ask people here's opionion.
A guy at a dealership that I stopped in said that he recommends putting stabil in whatever gas you have left then running the bike down till the tank is epmty. (let's say like 30 miles past when the low fuel warning light comes on)
Then he said to store the bike like that with an empty tank. The idea being that the stabil runs through and into the bike but you dont have a tank full of shitty gas the next spring. Then come spring you go grab some fresh new gas and put some in and you're good to go. He said that the tanks are all lined very well and it should be totally fine.
What are you opinions. It makes sense but I figured I would see what others opinions are on the subject. The bike will be stored covered and off the ground in an unheated garage.
Does anyone else here empty their tank for winter storage? Thoughts?
