  1. I have never had to take apart a fuel injected engine for fuel issues on my personal equipment. I did speak to a local Yamaha dealership owner who told me fuel injectors get varnished and clogged just like carburetor jets. So I take my chances on the moisture issues, stabilize the fuel and start them once a month. Like I said, it works for me.
  2. I have been working in a family small engine repair shop since I was 11 years old. I am 61 now. I have taken care of many small engines, motorcycles, snowmobiles, quads, etc. I totally agree that starting an engine and not allowing it to reach full operating temperature can cause moisture in the exhaust and crankcase, however, in the last 50 years I have never seen damage caused by this kind of moisture but had my fair share of fuel problems. I have tried all different types of stabilizers and grades of fuel with the same results. Last several years I have used stabilizers and start stored equipment at least once a month. Removing 100% of the fuel is the best method but not practical on snowmobiles and most motorcycles. It's been working well for me. No longer do I need to take carburetors apart, and have yet to have issues or repairs with condensation in oil or exhaust. Works for me.
  3. I was planning on buying a Madstad windshield but decided to try a cheap windshield spoiler sold on amazon. After playing with different positions on the stock windshield, I found a setting that made the buffeting acceptable. I'm sure the Madstad would be much better but decided this is OK. I also wanted to get rid of the uncomfortable seat. Having no way to try different brands and just rely on opinions, I decided to try the relatively cheap Airhawk air cushion. You know what, I'm sure a good seat would be better, but the cushion made the ride acceptable. Just my 2 cents.
