you may also want to replace the fuel filter and clean out your fuel pumpI haven't ridden my R1100RS since the pandemic started and was concerned about the fuel in the tank. I was wondering if there was a clever way to drain the tank or is my only option pulling it and turning it upside down.
thanks,
Siphon it out.
Thankfully, I can buy premium NO ETHANOL unleaded at local gas stations. I also buy 100LL av-gas at my local airport for my dirt bikes and old R90's. Best of luck to you!Thanks for the ideas. Ordered a siphon unit from Amazon. Premium non ethanol is not available in Nevada. I have 120 octane racing fuel , but it is leaded, no joy there with the converter on the 1100.

I have never succeeded in emptying the tank due the tank’s shape and the unwillingness of the siphon’s tube to always go where the fuel is located.
You can use an ear syringe to start the siphon if you don't feel like letting any gas get into your mouth. Use a small diameter hose (like 1/8 inch ID) and be patient --- but don't forget about it!
Nearest drug store or ?
What a great idea! And here I was just getting used to the taste of 91 octane.
