I am troubleshooting a fuel problem on my Stratoliner and came across this video that has changed my mind to some extent about long term storage (over a month of not running) of my bikes. I think it has some useful information for those who do not ride all year as well.
Bottom line up front (BLUF) E85 with stabilizer is just as bad as it is without. Especially in fuel system not designed for E85. E10 is less harmful but will still degrade and become useless over storage periods.
