Hi,

So winter is coming...
And since this is my first winter as a biker, I'm pretty confused about it.

The bike is at safe place, prepared for winter sleep, except one thing:

Fuel Stabilizer

The question maybe not relevant for you U.S. citizens (honestly I don't know heck about your fuel quality), so my question is mainly for EU or neighbor country riders.

I was told If I fill up my tank with 100 octane fuel, then I don't need to add fuel stabilizer, since it contains less ethanol, and it's not going gooey that fast.

Any experience, or should I just go for it, and add the FS anyway.

(My baby is FI)

Thank you for any input!
