So I've had my bike apart for 2.5 months now. Haven't turned the bike on once since then. Do I need to replace the gas in the tank? If so do I need to add anything to it before adding new gas?

Thx guys.

In my opinion, it should be ok, just add some Seafoam to it, run it out and fill up with fresh. How full do you have it?

this new ethanol gas gels up and crusts faster. I would at leat drain it and then add premium gas and sea foam for initial ride. :choppersm

i was taught 30 days for 2-stroke and 90 for 4-stroke. But that's with real gas.

Regular gas is all it takes add a little seafoam to get the initial crud out of the carb from sitting.

It's about half to three quarters full.

So just dump the old gas, refill it and add seafoam? Don't need to do anything with carb myself? The sea foam will do it on it's own?

Thx for the answers so far guys.

More :icon_bs:...I have left 10% blend gas in a lawnmower all winter long, and it fires right up every spring....Diesel will gel up in extreme cold temps, but I have yet to see gasoline do that.....

The seafoam should clean the carb since it hasn't been an overly long time but if it doesn't it isn't that hard to pull the jets and clean them.

Use the old gas in you car it won't know the difference.

if the gas is 2.5 months old...it will be fine as long as the gas cap was on...just saying. sea foam is always a good idea for gas older than 1 month.

Todays gas is crap. it will go bad in 3 to 4 months...before puting the machine away for months put sea foam or staybil as directed...

I am very busy in the spring...fixing carbs on cycles and lawn equipment because of Todays gas...left in from last fall. pay me now or pay me later.

As said above,a little seafoam and then ride ride ride....
