[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 851639, member: 3828"] Unless the gas was marginal when you pumped it in there last fall, I don't really think it should be causing any problems for you now. I have multiple vehicles that get laid up each year for the winter doldrums. The most I ever do is full the tanks to the top (to minimize air space that might facilitate condensation) and usually add a fuel stabilizer or (this year) SeaFoam. Then just keep the batteries charged and NOT touch the starter button until I intend on actually riding it. On fuel injected bikes the fuel in the rail never drains back or evaporates. I know that I am just one data point, but each of my 3 fuel injected bikes started up this spring just like I had ridden them the day before. That was after ~ 3 months of down time (this year). Same story in previous years. In roughly 3 decades of the same routine I've never had stale fuel cause a no start issue. YMMV [/QUOTE]
