Title: Gaz stabiliser
Post by: Yep ! on November 13, 2006, 04:06:28 PM

I just dumped 8 oz. of gaz stabiliser in a full tank to get the B12 ready for winter (Canada eh ?) and THEN  :duh: I read the label on the bottle that says "one ounce per gallon". I let the motor run idle for 5 minutes to get the stuff into the carbs . It started a bit gruff after about a month of being parked, but then settled to runnin' nice...
 :sad: Now if I'm not wrong on this, the B12 will hold 4.2 Imp.gal. so I must've doubled the dose...should I drain a half tank and replace with fresh gaz, or just let it go...
Can this be harmful...will the bike start in spring...
Any ideas anyone...

will smell like a two stroke untill you add more gas
in the spring top up after you burn half a tank

:grin: The smell in the springtime...I din't mind... :thanks:
I usually take it out of storage 3rd. week of March depending on weather and it's a bonus when a bike starts smooth after 4 months of silence...Again  :thanks: [/img]
