Default How Much Stabilizer?

OK, call me lazy but I am in Ohio in a nice warm bed with the laptop, and the bike and the answer is out in the garage.
How much stabilizer do I need to add to the the Ultra Glide Classic tank before I fill her up today?
Thanks much

none. It's fuel injected. You have no jets to clog with varnish. No float in the carb bowl. StaBil will make it start harder in spring.

Won't the varnish clog the injectors?

No, It's one ounce of Sta-Bil per 2-1/2 gallons of gas. 2 ounces for 5 gallon tank.

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?

I've found a shot or two of tequila in the evenings is a great stabilizer for those long winter months when the bike isn't running.
