One of my 2021 GTS 300 Supers only has about 1/3 of a tank of gas left in the tank. The gas was treated with Stabil when I originally filled it up. I am pretty much done riding for the season. Do I need to fill up the tank before I put her down for the winter? My bikes are kept in a heated garage. Thanks!

The reason for topping the tank off for winter storage is to reduce condensation during temp swings (less air volume), which can corrode steel or aluminum tanks. The GTS has a plastic tank (producing less condensation than steel or aluminum), and since your garage is heated - no need.

Even if the Vespa is not in a heated garage, the models with a tank made of plastic is not necessary to fill up!
