Some motorcycle manuals have some rather lame advice in them. If you
store a bike for the winter, drain the carb but leave the tank full.
This way the tank won't rust out.

Come spring drain the gas into a can and put it in your pickup truck.
Then start the bike with fresh gas..

Never done that with any of my bikes and haven't ever had a problem


You probably live in a dryer climate than Oregon... Here an empty steel
gas tank will rust over winter and I’ve seen many half full tanks rust
above the fuel level in storage.
