Fuel goes off very quickly these days,if you leave your bike with petrol in the system for more than a few weeks you're going to get trouble with any bike.
Sorry, but that's simply not true.

We'll have to disagree on that mate,from personal experience and from hanging around my mate's Bike shop/workshop for years I'm seeing more and fuel-related problems with customer's bikes, usually around this time of year when many are using them for the first time since last September or so,mostly older carb'd bikes.

A sealed petrol can kept in a cool dark place can last 6 months before it starts to degrade, however in your vented motorcycle fuel tank, it can be as little as six weeks before you could start to see issues.[/color]
