Harder to start in the spring? Hmmmm, guess I just got lucky the last 4 years. All the fuel injected bikes I have put it in have started just fine.

Alright 62, I got a news flash for ya. Not only are you lazy, but you got a terrible case of A.D.D. What the hell are you doing thinking about Sta-bil while you are looking at ****!? LOL!

Uh-h. think if you have stabil, and look at the directions on the bottle it says the mix (without going out to the garage, think RD GLD is right, 2 1'2 oz/ga.. Stabil certainly doesn't make it hard to start in the spring. I've used in on FI bikes and cars for years, with no problems. Just because the bike doesn't have a carb, doesn't mean that the fuel won't varnish up i time. Geesh, where do we dream up these ideas?

No, it's 1 oz. per 2-1/2 gallons, not 2-1/2 oz. per gallon!!! No, No, No!! [sm=icon_beat.gif]

Well Gman, I had not gone to purchase the bottle yet where the directions surely are.
Just figured I would use you for a cheat sheet so I had an idea how much was needed for the bike.
Called and talked to the head wrench this morning on another matter and I asked him.
He said he has never put anything in his fuel injected bikes, street or racing.
Just fill to the brim and wait.
Gotta wonder.

And Budd, you got me!

This is my first fuel injected bike.One less thing to worry about today.
