I have very winterized my bikes for 25 years by changing the oil, filling the tank with non-ethanol gas and putting fuel stabilizer in, running it for a few kms and then putting it in the garage and connecting a battery tender. Never had an issue come spring.
Now, we have no more non-ethanol gas in Alberta.
I was in Montana this week and filled up with non-ethanol gas before riding home. The tank is now at 2 bars, so say 2 gallons all in the lower tank.
So here is my question: If I am not going to be riding it again until spring, am I better to put a bit of stabilizer in and leave it as is with 2 gallons in the lower tank, or should I fill it up with crap 10% ethanol gas and of course put stabilizer in it?
