Hello there, winter is almost over here in Finland so it is time to take the bike out of storage. I have a question about fuel, i added stabilizer in the tank and filled it to the brim. Should i drain the tank and fill it up with new fuel or can i use the fuel that is in the tank?

Any other tips regarding "first ride of the season" are welcome.

Are you using ethanol or real gasoline? If you are using real gas then you are good! If not i would replace the gas with real gas for the winter, filling the tank all the way up is a good idea it forces all of the air out with the moisture.
 
I agree with TD. If the fuel is non-ethanol then go ahead and burn it.

The fuel i use is max 5% ethanol, i checked the product sheet for the fuel.
 
If it has ethonol in it, I would dump it.
 
Yes ethanol turns to a waxy like substance after a long time and will play havoc with your fuel lines and fuel injection system ! DUMP IT TUP
