As many times as I’ve seen the commercial for Sta-bil, laughing at it, I knew for certain that would never be me. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I spent more than an hour today trying to get my bike started. Apparently when it came time to put them up for the winter, none of us remembered fuel stabilizer. After leaving the battery charger on it and running the battery down 3-4 times, I was finally able to get it started. You could tell by the smell of the exhaust that the gas had turned bad. And since it was warm out, I went for a short cool ride afterwords to fill it up, which felt great!
Needless to say, the next dry day that we have will be spent making sure that everything else that’s not driven or ridden regularly will be topped off with gas and the much needed stabilizer.

Gas these days can go bad in a few weeks. We see mowers all the time that have issues that act like a bad plug or coil and it comes down to fresh fuel. I think the EPA laws have the engine mfgs walking a right rope to keep things running clean.
Now you will never forget
