I'm gonna be out of country for a month. First of all, I live in San Jose so it's not that cold in the winter. I've read winterizing stuff posted here but since I'm fairly new rider, what's stabile?
Do I really need it for storing my bike only for a month?
If yes, where can I get them?
Thanks in advance...

It is a fuel additive to keep gas from breaking down during storage.

STA-BIL is a blend of fuel additives that prevents fuel from degrading and oxidizing during prolonged storage.

If you store fuel for a month or more, use an oxidation inhibitor to prevent gum and varnish deposits that can clog the fuel system.

According to its FAQ, STA-BIL is available at most mass merchandisers, auto parts stores, home centers, and hardware stores.
