After 30 seconds of additional throttle & choke play she fired up.. This olde carburetored byke lit up with the same fuel after a year in storage. Adding Star Tron sure seems to have helped keep the fuel in good shape.

Took the byke out for a ride, fueled up fine through the gears.
Thanks Star Tron..

I haven’t used it yet. Unfortunately, more gas stations in my neck of the woods,(Black Hills and Northern Plains), are switching to alcohol based fuels, but I still have some Sinclair stations around with non-alcohol premium. It’s a huge political thing, but we don’t need to get into that now. From what I’ve read in moto publications and some car rags ethanol fuels breaks down much more quickly than “real” gasoline and the first thing to be depleted is the octane boost supposedly provided by ethanol. Moisture (water) is also left behind and that is never a good thing in a fuel system. I’m no chemist either, but I have experienced how gasoline actually evaporates in a small gas can intended for lawn mowers, etc.. leaving a skunky smell and a film on the inside of the can after just a month. I’ve learned not to buy ethanol fuels for anything that will have gas sitting in it for any length of time. I believe StarTron’s main purpose is to help stabilize ethanol fuels longer, hence their claims of increased performance over non-treated fuel that’s been sitting around. Personally I carry a bottle of Lucas Octane Booster when riding on trips where low-octane fuels are the only option. It does help. Big Guzzis will ping considerably on low-octane fuel when pulling a hill into the wind. I hope you get some good discussion on this important subject. Happy New Year! Bob
