Usually, but I didn't get it in last year. I didn't know my last ride was gonna be my last ride.

You didn't ask me, but, yeah, always. Even when the last ride is a surprise, in which case I drain the gas out of the tank, refill it with fresh gas with Stabil. I use a Fuel Tool to drain the tank. Put the "old" gas in the car. Run the new gas long enough to get it into the EFI system. In spring just start it up and ride. I've had no fuel issues since I started doing it that way.

I always start running Stabil the two weeks leading up to winter storage. This way it is only a matter of replacing the treated gas I used with new gas and Stabil. No fuel issues.

Rode to work this past wednesday, I was off but had to come in for a little while and take care of some clients. Rode to work again today, enjoying every minute of it.

I was having some issue with the throttle sticking a few weeks ago, I lubed the throttle cables which seemed to help for a few days but then it was sticking again. This was when it was probably 45 degrees or colder out and the garage isn't heated. Since its warmed up all seems normal.

Sounds like what I experience when riding in colder weather.
