i fill both bikes and put battery tender on but i start both bikes every 3 weeks all winter and let them run so they get hot enough to dry exhaust out and never had a problem and tank cant rust full of fuel. Shell V Power has the least amount of ethanol in it so i fill both bikes and change oil in both bikes
I also fill and add Seafoam to the tank. Battery tender and try to start every 2-3 weeks for about 10 minutes, to keep things going. I don't want my carbs developing the dreaded "corn belly"

Your experiences with ethanol are different from many, Routy. The boaters have trouble with it soaking up water & separating into layers, & Moto Guzzi's have a history of the fuel line blowing off the in tank fuel pump, Cant speak to other types,

I put fuel stabilizer in afull tank and run it for five minutes or so. Put the battery in a heated basenent and run a trickle charge on it. No problems ever. You did just fine.
Where are you in Ontario Canada? We have another member in London, (Ontario Canada for those of you not familliar with this area.)
And there used to be a member in Sarnia, but I have not heard from him for quite a while now.
I live in Michigan about 20 miles north of the Blue Water international Bridge which is about 63 miles west of London, and 20 miles north. I do a lot of riding in Ontario.
So where are you? anywhere close?
Madoc is about 5 hrs east of me.
