Put mine away the other day, pulled the battery, made sure the tank was reasonably full - 87 octane, put in some Stabil, called it a day. Been my routine for decades. Never had a problem starting in Spring, didn't matter what brand or type - kawi, yami, harley, trump, suzi - they all fired up assuming the battery had been on a trickle charger through the winter.
Ethanol free fuel is easy to find in Idaho. But pricey. Sometimes I used it, sometimes I didn't, no difference in performance or start up after sitting thru the winter.
