    Default Winterizing bike... Where to get seafoam?

    Time to put the gixxer away

    Looking to try using seafoam as a fuel stabilizer since i've heard good things about it. Tried using search but all the threads were crazy old. Anyone know where to get this stuff? Any help would be appreciated!

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    It isn't a vintage bike. Just put a full tank in her and a few drops of stabilizer.

    I don't know why people get so freaky about bike storage.

    My gixxer is 5 years old, has 26,000 km on it and has never had one issue with starting the next year.

    Save your money and time.

    ^Agreed. You probably don't even need stabilizer, let alone a specific brand. I usually just get whatever I see first at Canadian Tire, the bike's only away for like 4-5 months.

    Not another one of these winter storage topics

    If my lawn tractor doesn't need fuel stabilizer, your bike sure doesn't

    Most bikes run high octane fuel which, by its habit of sitting around in underground tanks longer than regular, has more stabilizers added.

    I used seafoam to clean it up. Not stabilize the fuel. Just drop a couple of the pink stuff from crappy tire in there and take your battery out.

    Done and done
