If I put my bike in a heated garage do I still need to put any sta-bil in the tank?

Yes the gas will go stale.

I don't have the "ultimate" answer, But I would. Everytime I fill up the gas can (1.5 gal) for the lawn mower, I add Sta-Bil. I go thru a can every 1 1/2 mos. Doesn't sit long enough to break down, but why take the chance.

Ask the knowledgeable here about adding Sea-Foam too. Tracy
