Yes, gas can go bad in a matter of weeks, and on rare occasion in a matter of days (especially if the bike is left outside in the rain).
Run the bike as much as possible with the Seafoam in the fuel. If the bike idles rough, the pilot jets may need cleaning. If not, you're probably OK. Since the bike has not been run in a while, it will need to be ridden and warmed up good to notice any improvement. It's normal to need choke on this carbed bike especially in colder weather.
The best way to clean the air filter is with carb cleaner or very hot water and Dawn. Then dried thoroughly and lightly re-oiled. If the filter is old and looks compressed it may be time for
a replacement. Kawi recommends replacement @ 2 years.
