Ok, so all my previous bikes, including my previous vstrom 1000, they would just get fresh gas mixed with stabil, get an oil change, and put the battery on a tender. Never had a problem. I'd do the same with my new S10 but what happened with my wifes bike has me questioning my winter ritual.....
My wife got a 650GS and it seems the BMW doesn't like ethanol, stabil, or a combination of the two. After two winters, the fuel pump and injectors had to me changed out. Long story short, I was told that I shouldn't use ethanol in any bike (yea right) and that I should use techron mixed with pure gas for storage....
Anyway, just asking what the rest of you are doing for storage. Should I worry about my S10's fuel injection with stabil and gas that has ethanol??? Or should I continue prepping it for winter like I have done with all my other bikes excepy my wife's....
Thanks,
Larry
