Default Be sure to
run the bike after you put in the Stabil so the Stabil treated gas is in the carb or EFI.

If you use Stabil dont use the Red stuff if the gas in your area contains ethanol. Only the Marine Stabil is designed for use with ethanol and where I live there is almost no real gas to be found.
