Owner's manual says drain the tank and run the bike until it dies.
Conventional wisdom around here says full to the brim, and drain the carbs manually.
Take your pick.
The logic behind keeping it full is that an empty tank can get condensation inside it and start to rust. I wonder, though... if you leave the cap open and cover the opening so nothing can fall in, then the tank should stay bone-dry, right?
Some also advocate draining the tank to remove the stabilized fuel and re-filling with fresh gas in the spring.
Also change your oil now, then drain that oil and put fresh in next spring.
Regarding Sta-Bil... there are two kinds. The pink stuff that you often find doesn't work well with gas that has ethanol in it. Get the Marine Formula instead. It's blue-green.
