When I store my bike, I'm intending to put Stabil in the system. Do I need to fill the tank to the top?

I'm not a resident expert, but am positive there will be no disagreement with my answer of absolutely yes, fill that tank right up. And I endorse Startron over Stabil. And fresh oil is also agreed upon around here as part of good winter storage. Have a good, short winter.

Yes. It prevents/minimizes condensation within the tank.
I use Marine Stabil, it is formulated for gas containing ethanol.

Yes
Add a few psi to the tires unless centerstand I am a fan of fogging oil, everywhere Don't forget at least charge the battery once in January and maybe before you start riding/ I do a cheapest oil change then again after the 1st good ride to my REAL Synthetic Blend

4oz of Startron fuel stabilizer and a full tank of Ultra94 gas from Petro Canada.

I've wondered about fogging. Doesn't create a mess and attract dirt?
