to drain or not ot drain ?

I don't winterize my bikes........I bring the batteries inside, charge them and start the bikes at least once a month and let run until completely hot.......may not be the best thing for the oil but I change at the begining of the riding season......

Drain the tank filled with Stabil and put in fresh gas, reconnect the gas hose and you will be right back in business.

Hey WG, how come you don't burn the Stabil?

I just ride all year round! At least a ride a month even when its really cold out. But I can imagine around here really cold is only about 30-40! hahhaha

Rickman, I guess I just wouldn't burn that much stuff in my gasoline. The gas is old anyway... I would toss it. If it says on the Stabil packaging you can burn it, then if you want, go ahead. I just wouldn't.

If you're worried about the gas, put it in a gas can, then add it to your fresh gas in your bike or car a little at a time till it's gone. No use throwing away $10 worth of gas. I still say Stabil is a waste of money and does absolutely nothing going by my own experience with it.

i was wondering how long's the shelf life of fuel stabilizer. turns out it's 2 years:
