Yes. Highly recommend it. It's compatible with any petrolium based fuel (even 2 cycle oil mix).

I use it religously on all my seasonal stuff: snowblower, tractor, sleds...never had a problem. Don't add it to a partial tank, make sure it is full.

Iwont ride as much in the winter so I plan on putting that sta-bil in just in case, but I will probably ride off and on (once or twice every month). Better save than sorry I suppose.

Make sure you start your bike and let some of the Stabil solution mix thru to the injectors or carb. If you fill your tank and add Stabil the carb or injectors still have just raw gas in them.
