gas question
wanna see what you guys think about this. my futura has been put up since novemeber and i never put any fuel stablilizer in it. I didnt think winter would be as bad as it was here and it kinda slipped my mind. So now I am going tobe doing an oil change and prepping the bike. Think I could get away with the gas in there, its only about one gallon, so I could put in 3 or 4 gallons of fresh gas or should I drain the tank?

Just fire it off - have you started it all all this winter? It hasn't been that long, It should be fine. Garaged?

Dump in some Seafoam, and run most of the gas out. If no probs with the carbs, fill it up with fresh gas and GO!

Also - you can open the gas cap and smell the gas - if it still smells like gas, you're A-OK

And like I said earlier, a slight stumble may be cured by some Seafoam. |
