I live in Alaska, do not own a garage.. so I had to store my bike in our Dining room for the winter.
Do not want to leave it outside, covered during the 30 below days of winter here..

My question, I put stabils in the tank.. but do I need to turn the gas off and run the bike till it quits to drain the carb of gas?
If yes or no, explain please.

 

Fill the tank, with gas off, run the bike till it empties the float. Put on a warm coat. : )

 

turn gas off to burn off any remaining fuel from the carb.

 

My vote is yes as well. The gas can gunk up the carb if it sits for a long time. Better safe than sorry.

 

I vote yes too, you are already going to need to run it to get that treated fuel into the carb, why not just run it dry while you are at it.
